Campuses

While Kalandra’s main campus located in Auckland, many of its programmes are delivered all or partly online, removing geographic barriers and allowing students worldwide to benefit from its training. This online delivery model enables students to study without disrupting their current employment. Kalandra’s commitment to improving the quality of care for vulnerable individuals extends beyond New Zealand, with initiatives such as offering scholarships for international students and collaborating with global healthcare organisations. ​Note that to obtain a student visa to study at Kalandra, you will need to study full time onshore, in New Zealand, or part-time if you are currently on a work visa.
