Master's degree
Purpose
A master's degree qualifies the individual in advanced knowledge in a variety of research contexts, for a learning path that can be professional practice or academic.
Professional: It is a shorter and more practical master's degree, which lasts on average a year and a half and prepares its students for the job market. It follows similar requirements to the academic master's, but offers training with an emphasis on professional qualification.
Academic: It usually lasts two to two and a half years. The student takes courses and, with the help of an advisor professor, writes a dissertation (thesis) on the topic of their choice, which will then need to be presented to a board of examiners.
Entry :
Program providers that lead to master's qualifications are responsible for establishing entry requirements. The minimum qualification for a master's degree is a bachelor's degree.
An individual's admission to a master's degree is based on an assessment of evidence documents (including academic record) of the individual's ability to undertake postgraduate studies in a field of research or professional practice.
Documentation for Master's enrollment:
– Color copy of the Diploma + translation
– Course Curriculum + Translation
– Copy of the first 2 pages of passport

Master's courses have stood out for the benefits of extending visas to their spouse and school-age children. In addition, the post-study visa period is an attraction for those who want to have a long-term experience in New Zealand.
