Can I change my major if the modules are similar in the new course in New Zealand for a Master's?

Yes, you can change your major in a master's program in New Zealand if the modules are similar to your current course.

New Zealand universities often offer "conversion" master's degrees, which are designed for students transitioning into new fields. These programs help you build the required knowledge and skills for a career shift.

You will usually need to apply for admission to the new program and formally withdraw from your current one. Changing your major may affect your student visa status - always check with the university's international student office before making changes.

If you need guidance on the process, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
