They will be qualified to work at an advanced level in government departments and agencies, state-owned enterprises, banks, and other private companies and consultancies in New Zealand, as well as internationally in organisations such as the Asian Development Bank, World Bank, IMF, the International Labour Organisation, and the United Nations Development Bank.
