Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences Applications for electives

Due to the large numbers of applications received each year, we are required to keep to a strict timetable when allocating elective placements. The New Zealand academic year runs from March to November in one year. Elective requests for December and January of any given year will not be accepted or processed.

Feb - Nov 2011

Applications now closed, all places filled

Feb - Nov 2012

1st January 2011 to 31st March 2011

Applications are processed on a first come, first served basis. No late applications will be considered.

How to apply

Application forms and required documents must be submitted between January and March in the year prior to the elective. All arrangements are to be made directly with the Overseas Electives Coordinator, Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences. No other member of the University or hospital staff has authority to make these arrangements.

Please note: December and January is a vacation period in New Zealand. Overseas students are strongly advised not to request elective placements during this time, as placements are severely limited.

Contact Person

All enquiries for application forms and additional information must be submitted to the overseas elective coordinator.
