Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences

Flexible and Online teaching modes

To accommodate students with full-time work commitments and those living outside the greater Auckland area, the faculty offers a variety of flexible learning options.

Courses may require some attendance at campus lectures or workshops and many have an online component as well, using a range of technologies to create media rich teaching and learning environments and to maintain high levels of interaction. Some courses are offered fully online.
