All students must meet university entrance requirements to be admitted to the University.
This programme is a ‘selected entry’ programme. This means as well as applying you will need to provide additional material as part of your application.
To enter the Bachelor of Nursing you will hold a current First Aid Certificate from an approved provider.
You will be selected into the programme on the basis of a process which includes providing:
a personal supporting statement of about 300 words explaining why you wish to enter the nursing programme and profession, including why you feel you would make a good nurse. List any personal characteristics you have that demonstrate your suitability.
a curriculum vitae of approximately three pages, which should include your academic and work history
provide details of two character referees – these must not be family or friends
if you are applying straight after completing secondary school (or a course at a private training establishment) you will supply a confidential report from your school or institution
complete the vetting service request and consent form for a New Zealand Police check – a criminal record check under the Criminal Records (Clean Slate) Act 2004
provide a current police certificate from any overseas countries you have lived in for 12 months or more in the last 10 years
complete the Health and Disability Declaration.
An interview may be required.
To become a registered nurse, you will also have requirements during and at the end of your study.
