If I do a short term healthcare course as a dependent, will it add value to my profile in New Zealand for a Master's/Diploma?

No, a short-term healthcare course as a dependent is unlikely to add significant value to your profile for a Master's program in New Zealand.

Admissions committees generally focus on your main academic qualifications and relevant work experience. With a Master's in Business Management and 24 months of professional experience, your profile already meets key criteria. Short-term courses usually do not carry much weight for postgraduate admissions.

If your goal is to strengthen your application, consider gaining more relevant experience or pursuing a postgraduate diploma in health sciences instead. If you need tailored guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
