Choose

First, decide what you will apply for:

You can apply to do only a single course, i.e. a Certificate of Proficiency (COP)

Or you can apply to do a particular programme / qualification (PG Certificate, Diploma, Master) (see page above)

If applying for a programme, it may be best to begin by applying to enrol in the Certificate because:

• Upon completion, you can leave with the Certificate or you can apply to have the courses re-assigned towards the Diploma or Masters
• To be eligible for Te Pou funding you need to be enrolled in the Postgraduate Certificate in Health Sciences (ICAMH)

Please note - When completing the application form, you may be asked whether you are going to be funded for 2021. In the application for enrolment, this question is more of an indicator on whether or not you will be submitting an application for funding. If you will be submitting an application for funding (limited places and application does not guarantee you will recieve funding) please select 'Other Contracts' for now.
