University of Canterbury Courses

The BMINN is open to those with work in the iwi sector, which can include organisations owned by Maori, or a dedicated Kaupapa Maori team or unit within an organisation or government.

Your employer will need to provide verification of your employment, and a partnership agreement with UC to make sure you have support for both your study commitments and workload.

Admission to UC with University Entrance (or equivalent) is also required to enrol.

For information on the enrolment process, please see how to apply for undergraduate qualifications.

First year courses in the BMINN are introductory and no previous knowledge is required.

The government has announced new vaccination requirements for the health and education sectors. At UC, our programmes are strongly connected to our communities of practice. For many of our programmes, you will not be able to complete research or practice-oriented courses if you are not vaccinated. This is due to research/practice taking place in health centres and schools/kura where all employees and volunteers are required to be vaccinated.

For these courses you will be required to be vaccinated in line with the NZ Government regulations, and supply evidence of your vaccination status.
