This program is designed to equip you to address the health needs of the Midland and Aotearoa communities, with a strong emphasis on equity for Māori and Pacific populations, mental health and addiction, and primary and community health.
Offered in collaboration with the Waikato District Health Board and its clinical partners, our nursing program integrates rigorous academic training with practical experience in real healthcare environments from the start. It also prioritizes equity, wellbeing, and the health of Māori and Pacific peoples, with opportunities to specialize in mental health and addictions.
Practically, you will split your time between our University campus in Hamilton and various health providers throughout the Waikato region, receiving guidance from a diverse team of experienced registered nurses and health professionals. This team includes active researchers who are advancing healthcare practices both in New Zealand and globally, using innovative teaching methods to prepare the next generation of nurses.
By completing this two-year master’s program, you will be well-prepared to deliver exceptional care to New Zealanders in both rural and urban settings, whether they are at home, in hospitals, or dealing with mental or physical health issues.
Please be aware that spaces are limited, and applications are required by August 31st of the year before your intended start date.
