No, a five-month master's program is not standard in New Zealand. Most master's degrees typically take 12 to 24 months to complete.

If you are looking for a shorter option, some universities offer postgraduate certificates or diplomas that can be completed in less time, often around 6-12 months. These are not equivalent to a full master's degree but may suit professionals seeking targeted skills.
