Key Facts

Nurses are in demand across Aotearoa New Zealand, and nursing offers excellent career progression opportunities, as well as options to travel and earn around the world. The Health Sciences (Nursing) programme from University of Canterbury is underpinned by UC’s values of manaakitanga (extending care and empowering others), whanaungatanga (valuing people and working as a team), and tiakitanga (enhancing and nurturing our resources). These philosophies help produce nursing graduates who are socially conscious, critical thinkers who contribute to the advancement of nursing knowledge, policy, and health outcomes.
