This accelerated two-year (240 point) Master of Nursing Science program enables you to earn your master's degree and qualify as a registered nurse in New Zealand. The curriculum addresses New Zealand's growing demand for skilled nurses while maintaining rigorous training standards. For the first time, the University of Auckland allows entry into Nursing at the master's level without requiring a BNurs degree. Holders of a Health Science (BHSc) or Science (BSc) bachelor's degree with Physiology and Psychology coursework should explore nursing's diverse career opportunities. The Master of Nursing Science opens doors to leadership roles and management positions, with graduates frequently entering healthcare consulting, research, and specialized nursing fields. Please note: The University of Auckland does not participate in graduate hiring and cannot ensure post-graduation registration or employment in New Zealand or elsewhere.
