Wellington has the clearest change of direction route of the eight. The Master of Software Development is a twelve month professional programme that requires a bachelor degree which is not in computer science, so it is built for graduates crossing into software rather than continuing in it. The Master of Building Science is a twelve month coursework degree ending in an industry project, recognised by the New Zealand Institute of Building.
