Yoobee Colleges
Yoobee is a private training establishment, not a polytechnic or a university. That makes no difference to the post-study work visa, which turns on the level of the qualification. Its Master of Software Engineering is one of the most open conversion routes into software anywhere in New Zealand: it accepts a business degree, and offers a free bridging course for applicants without enough programming.
Why study here

A free bridging course
If your programming is not strong enough, Yoobee offers a bridging course at no cost rather than declining the application.
One year, three trimesters
180 credits at level 9, ending in a capstone project. Taught in Auckland and Christchurch.
