become increasingly pressing – we will also want to be living

well on our planet.

Lincoln University is a uniquely and deliberately specialised

university finding solutions for these challenges. The University

has a mission to help: feed the world, protect the future, and

the needs of not only New Zealand but also the world.

making a difference.

PROGRAMMES

Bachelor of Commerce

Lincoln University’s Bachelor of Commerce degree

has a specific focus on value chains. Value chains

connect the world, and so do our graduates. Be it

in supply chain management, marketing, food and

resource economics, IT or accounting and finance,

our graduates are bringing the world to New Zealand

and New Zealand to the world. When businesses

link their strategies and operations with what is

happening in the global economy and with their

commercial partners, they are well positioned to

capture competitive advantages. As economies have

become more interconnected and businesses have

become more dependent on international markets

for raw materials and end consumers, there is an

increasing need for people who understand the

global nature of value chains - and Lincoln’s BCom

majors will give you the tools to be one of them.

You’ll also study introductory courses in applied economics, business law, and business financial information, as well as the LINC courses in land, people and economies, research and analytical skills, and global sustainability issues.

In addition, you can select electives from many of the undergraduate courses to complement the agribusiness, food and marketing focus in your degree programme, and widen your career opportunities. These include:

• Agricultural and horticulture production systems • Consumer behaviour

Bachelor of Land and

Property Management

Lincoln’s Bachelor of Land and Property

Management gives students the option to study

urban property or rural property – providing

graduates with a well-rounded knowledge-base

upon which to begin a career in property, whether

in New Zealand or internationally. In recent years

demand for both urban and rural property graduates

has far outstripped supply, so most of our students

have had a wide variety of career options available

to them on completion of their studies. Property

provides the foundation and resources for virtually

every part of our daily lives, from where we live

to where we work, socialise, learn, and play. It

contributes enormously to worldwide economies

as a valuable asset base and a foundation for

production requiring development, maintenance

and renewal.

What you’ll study

In the four-year degree the combinations will give you a very wide understanding of the many facets of urban and/or rural land and property in a global context. The degree will also include LINC courses, covering an introduction to global land-based issues, as well as a broad understanding of research and analytical skills and an in depth look at global sustainability issues.

The degree maintains its long established accreditation with local professional bodies; The Property Institute of

New Zealand, the Valuers Registration Board, the Institute of Valuers and the Real Estate Agents Authority, and adds an international dimension from 2015 via expected accreditation with the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

Career opportunities

A rural focus enables you to pursue a career in valuation, professional farm management, property development, agribusiness consultancy, banking and finance, rural brokerage and many other land based areas. These pursuits can be uniquely combined: for example, agribusiness consultancy and valuation is a popular and highly valued pathway.

Urban careers are similarly varied and include valuation, banking and finance, management of office buildings, shopping centres, industrial developments and housing estates, asset and facilities management of multi-building portfolios, commercial real estate brokerage, property development and investment and portfolio analysis.

The wide range of courses that form the BLPM degree make its graduates a leading choice for employers, and employment opportunities continue to be strong in both the urban and rural sectors.

Why choose Lincoln for

postgraduate study?

Today, a thesis is usually not enough. Our approach

emphasises strong links with industry and

commerce and ‘real-world’ applications. To help

you with research and to prepare for your career,

postgraduates who go off-campus each semester

to work with research agencies close to Lincoln

University or at institutions as distant as Norway or

California.

Lincoln University has close professional and scientific ties with bodies throughout New Zealand and around the world. The campus itself is at the centre of a cluster of crown research institutes such as Plant & Food Research, Landcare Research and AgResearch.

We actively promote collaborative research projects with these and other organisations, and we involve a host of off-campus organisations in consulting on the design of courses, and in teaching and research.

Lincoln Agritech helps apply Lincoln University’s expertise to developing cutting-edge technologies, exporting them around the world and working on contracts with organisations such as the Food and Agricultural Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and the Asian Development Bank.

In any vocational degree, professional accreditation is vital. You can gain membership to a number of local bodies after completing the appropriate Lincoln University degree.

We do!

Who cares

about the

environment?

In 1993 the University adopted an Environmental Charter

and an Environmental Policy (the first among New Zealand tertiary establishments) to support the work of the already established staff-student group called Lincoln Environmental Organisation (LEO). This led to the formation of a formal Environmental Task Force and the revision of the Policy in 2003 and 2010 – giving the University what it now has: the

Sustainability Advisory Group for the Environment (SAGE). SAGE works alongside LEO to ensure the University ‘treads lightly on the Earth’, ensuring we live up to our values in the areas of sustainable practices, stewardship of our own environment, and protection of the wider environment. The University’s School of Landscape Architecture building was built with locally sourced materials with a life span of over 100 years and which require minimal maintenance. In this building and across campus, the University continues to make a difference with significant efforts in energy conservation, water management, resource recovery and waste management.

Lincoln University is a major supporter of the Lincoln Envirotown Trust and provides office space and resources for the Chair of the Trust.

All our publications are printed on environmentally responsible paper, produced using Elemental Chlorine Free (ECF), Third Party Certified pulp sourced from well managed and legally harvested forests, and manufactured under the strict ISO14001 Environmental Management System. New Zealand’s native biodiversity makes this country unique and Lincoln University is very proud of our park-like campus, gardens and the native plantings we have both on campus and extensively at the Lincoln University Dairy Farm. The Ma-ori outreach programme and the work of staff across the University aims to facilitate an understanding of, and acknowledges Ma-ori communities, iwi, hapu, whanau and

their affinity with their whenua and their environments. Formal partnerships and informal collaboration will ensure a continuing mutual understanding and respect for the land, consistent with the concept of kaitiakitanga (stewardship).

We do!

Key to all that Lincoln University does is an

awareness of the environment

– from our course

content, to our native plantings, to the paper this publication is printed on.

As New Zealand’s specialist land-based university, our mission is to help feed the world, protect

the future and live well, and we aspire to do this without negatively impacting our environment.

Land is something we value. It is, literally, our world.
