Postgraduate programmes

For a list of educational institutions that offer programmes that are accredited by the Nursing Council of New Zealand (the Council) see the document in the Downloads on this page.

While educational institutions may have current Council accreditation, they may not always offer post-graduate nursing programmes on a regular basis. We recommend that you contact the school you are considering studying with to confirm the programmes delivery timetable.
