One of the most affordable IT master's in New Zealand. 180 credits over 18 months in Auckland, with a specialisation in cybersecurity and networking, data analytics and intelligence, or software development. Two of those three map directly onto Green List roles.

Where this leads

These Green List occupations are relevant to this programme, and each carries a defined pathway to residence. Relevant is not the same as qualifying: several engineering roles ask for an accredited undergraduate engineering degree or an Engineering New Zealand letter, which a master's does not supply. Read the requirement on the role itself.
