Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences Flexible and distance study

Increasing numbers of health professionals are enrolling in postgraduate study in the faculty to advance their careers. To accommodate students with full-time work commitments and those living outside the greater Auckland area, the faculty offers many courses in block, distance and flexible learning formats.

  • Weekly lectures
    The traditional teaching format involving weekly lectures over a 12 week semester.
  • Block courses
    Offered on four or five consecutive days over several weeks.
  • Distance courses
    Use CDs, videos, workbooks and/or computers.Attendance at a weekend workshop in Auckland may also be required. This option is generally not suitable for students residing outside New Zealand. Please contact the relevant postgraduate coordinator listed in the subject description for advice.

         This option requires access via the University flexible learning website

  • Flexible courses
    Offered on the same weekday from 9am-5pm four times during a semester (one day per month), or on two consecutive days (often Friday/Saturday) twice a semester.  Many courses have their teaching days at the School of Population Health at Tamaki Campus, which offers easy access and free parking.

    For more information about the Tamaki Campus, visit School of Population Health website.

These learning formats have been identified in the descriptions for Subjects and Courses.
