No, most Master's programs in Artificial Intelligence in New Zealand take between 1.5 to 2 years of full-time study.

For example:
- University of Canterbury: 18 months (full-time)
- Victoria University of Wellington: 12 - 16 months (full-time)

One-year options are uncommon for this field in New Zealand. Program durations are subject to change. If you need help finding the best fit, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
