Several postgraduate programs in New Zealand are designed for aspiring or current teachers seeking advanced qualifications:

- Master of Teaching and Learning (MTchgLn): A one-year intensive program for those with a bachelor's degree, leading to provisional teacher registration.
- Postgraduate Diploma in Teaching and Learning: A one-year course combining theory and practical teaching experience, also leading to provisional registration.
- Master of Education and Learning (MEdLn): For teachers seeking professional development; offers flexible study options and can be completed in 18 months full-time.
- Postgraduate Diploma in Education and Learning (PGDipEdLn): Focuses on professional development with flexible, part-time options.
- Master of Specialist Teaching (MSpecTchg): A part-time program for those with a background in specialist teaching.

Eligibility typically requires a bachelor's degree and English proficiency (IELTS/TOEFL). Requirements and program details are subject to change.
