Otago DBA creates new model in China
As ENZ supported the development of the degree, ENZ’s General Manager Industry Development Clive Jones joined 18 students from China to celebrate the start of the course orientation in Dunedin last Monday. He said the DBA was off to a promising start.
“The healthy interest in the first year of the DBA shows that New Zealand degrees can attract high-calibre international students – especially when they meet the professional needs of busy executives, and are delivered flexibly where they live and work,” said Mr Jones.
“We hope that these business people, through the course of their degree, will develop ongoing friendships and business links between China and New Zealand.”
A total of 22 students in the inaugural intake will study six papers in the first year, covering academic research methods, organisational leadership and psychology, corporate finance and international trade.
The degree will be distance taught online with on-campus workshops in both countries.

The series of events held from 30 August to 2 September included an agent seminar, the Bangkok Education Fair and then mini fairs held in Chiang Mai and Chonburi.
The agent seminar was attended by 108 education agents from 79 companies, including a significant number of new agents.

The Bangkok Education Fair, held on 31 August, saw the largest number of education providers in attendance in ENZ’s history. ENZ’s Market Manager for Thailand, Chortip Pramoolpol said that there were 79 representatives from 60 institutions, including all eight New Zealand universities, 44 schools, vocational institutions, private training establishments, and English language providers.
“The fair attracted 1,460 visitors, offering students and parents an excellent opportunity to connect directly with education providers.
“Prospective students and their families engaged in one-on-one discussions about New Zealand’s academic programs, student life, and pathways to success. The event garnered positive feedback, with 84% of surveyed sector representatives reporting satisfaction or extreme satisfaction with the fair,” said Chortip.

At the opening ceremony, New Zealand Ambassador Jonathan Kings presented the Alumni Hall of Fame Awards. These annual awards honour alumni who have achieved notable professional success, gained significant social recognition, and positively contributed to promoting New Zealand as a premier study destination.

ENZ also organised a special seminar featuring three distinguished guests. Purachai Piumsomboon, the former Interior Minister of Thailand, spoke about his experience sending all three of his children to study in New Zealand from primary school through university. Additionally, Peterpan and Lilly Nichapalak, two influential figures with nearly one million followers, shared their personal stories about how studying at New Zealand high schools positively transformed their lives.
In the lead-up to the Bangkok fair, ENZ organised a series of events aimed at expanding outreach to Thai students. From August 27 to 29, ENZ conducted a school roadshow across six schools in Chonburi, delivering information sessions about studying in New Zealand. A notable highlight of the roadshow was a simulated classroom experience hosted by a New Zealand school, allowing Thai students to get a taste of the New Zealand education system firsthand.
Dr. Jane Berry from Avondale College demonstrated NZ simulated classroom for Thai students to easily understand the interactive Periodic Table.
Following the main fair, a mini fair was held on 1 September in Chiang Mai and Chonburi offering another chance for prospective students and parents to interact with New Zealand education providers. The event series concluded with a final visit to two more schools on September 2, also in Chonburi and Chiang Mai. These additional events emphasised ENZ’s commitment to engaging with students beyond the main fair, fostering strong ties with schools, agents, and prospective students in the surrounding Bangkok region.
