WORLD-CLASS TEACHING STAFFThe Tertiary Education Commission rates EIT as one of New Zealand’s top institutes of technology and polytechnics for research. Our highly-qualified academics are leaders in their subjects, delivering the most up-to-date and relevant information to certificate, diploma, degree and postgraduate students. Attuned to ever-changing technologies, our lecturers bring extensive work experience to teaching EIT’s postgraduate programmes.

Education is facilitated by lecturers with advanced academic qualifications, and specific clinical expertise. We value our partnership with students and provide high quality education in a supportive environment, encouraging personal growth and professional development.

BLENDED / ONLINE LEARNINGAll the postgraduate courses are offered either online or with blended delivery. This means that the majority of the work is located on a virtual teaching platform with directed activities and learning that you work through. Lecturers work within the virtual classroom setting daily so that they maintain contact with students as much as if they were in a face-to-face classroom setting.

Blended delivery means that there are on-campus contact sessions or workshops with the bulk of the learning activity undertaken in the online environment.

Various teaching modes are used, such as virtual classroom discussions at predetermined times, and also in the asynchronous format.

This flexible delivery method allows you to study at your pace, in your place, at locations throughout New Zealand.

INDIVIDUAL STUDY HOURSGenerally the courses are delivered asynchronously via online delivery. However, some courses may require attendance at synchronous online sessions or face-to-face workshops on the EIT campus. Any requirement for attendance at synchronous or face-to-face sessions is identified in the course information.

Please refer to a link within the enrolment pack letter for the programme timetable, showing full year and semester dates, and compulsory study days or contact the Postgraduate Programmes Secretary.

Each credit for the course represents 10 hours of student learning/study time over the period of the course.

Each course consists of online learning opportunities and in some cases clinical fieldwork, and on campus workshops. You are expected to spend subsequent time in independent/self-directed study, critical reflection, and field work in their place of study or place of work.
