Get your documentation ready

Before you start your application to enrol in the Master of Organisational Psychology, you'll need to prepare these documents: 

  • Verified evidence of your identity, such as a certified copy of your birth certificate, or a certified copy of the photo page in your passport. There are additional requirements depending on your visa status, or if you have legally changed your name - for more information view full verification requirements.
  • Proof of your academic qualifications, such as a transcript or your UC student ID number if you studied your undergraduate degree with us. If you graduated with a bachelor's degree from another university, you will need to request a digital copy of your transcript through them.
  • Proof of your professional work history, such as a CV or resume, including the years that you previously studied at tertiary institutes. 
  • For international learners: proof of your English language proficiency. 

It's also helpful to have: 

  • Your National Student Number on hand - if you have one. You can locate your number through the NZQA website
  • Prepared two short paragraphs explaining what interests you about studying this master's degree, and what you'd like to achieve with this degree. 

How many courses do I choose?

The number of courses you choose to enrol into at this stage depends on how you are financing your study. The full list of courses and codes you can select are listed below. Please note: only part-time study is available at this point. If you’re using StudyLink to cover your tuition fees, you need to add both available courses (in order to meet the StudyLink threshold).

However, all courses added to your enrolment must be paid before the first course starts. This means if you are self-funding, you may wish to add just the first term course to your enrolment for now, so that you only need to pay for one course at a time. You can then add your next course as this new term approaches.

The courses you will need to search for and select are:

  • OPSY610 - Key Topics in Organisational Psychology (15 July - 16 September 2024)
  • OPSY619 - Psychology of Stress, Health and Wellbeing at Work (7 October - 9 December 2024)

Please note: the specific course codes to search for during the application process are OPSY610 and OPSY619. The correct courses to select will then be shown in the course selector as follows: OPSY610-24X3 (O) and OPSY619-24X4 (O). We will be in touch later this year when you can update your enrolment with your 2025 courses.
