Yes, with your MBBS and 3 years of work experience, you are well-qualified for a Master's in Medical Science in New Zealand.

Strong options include:
- Master of Medical Laboratory Science (MMLS) at AUT: 2 years, requires a relevant bachelor's and registration as a Medical Laboratory Scientist in NZ. IELTS 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0). Tuition: NZD 48,021.60 (subject to change).
- Master of Medical Science (MMedSc) at University of Otago: 1 year, research-focused. Requires MBBS or equivalent.
- Master of Medical Laboratory Science (MMLSc) at University of Otago: 1 year, for those with a relevant bachelor's.
- Master of Science (MSc) at University of Canterbury: 2 years, specializations include Medical Physics. Requires a science bachelor's with a good GPA.

English language test (IELTS or equivalent) is typically required. Fees and entry requirements are subject to change.
