Is New Zealand good for pharmacy students and is it PR friendly for a Master's?
23 Jun 2026 · Answered by Mona Negi · 1 min read
Yes, New Zealand is a strong choice for pharmacy students and offers pathways to permanent residency (PR).
- Several universities offer specialized master's programs in pharmacy, such as the Master of Pharmacy Practice (MPharmPrac), which combines academic learning with practical placements.
- After graduation, you can apply for a post-study work visa (subject to change), which allows you to gain local work experience - a key step toward PR.
- For PR, you must usually hold a resident visa for at least two consecutive years and show your commitment to New Zealand.
If you need guidance on program selection or the PR process, your LeapScholar counsellor can assist you.
