Thames Information Session | Health and Wellbeing
Join us for an information session at our Thames Campus and find out how you can get your career started in the health and wellbeing industry.
In addition to your classes and lectures, you will gain practical experience in learning environments such as our simulated ward. This provides computerised patient models that assume real health issues.
Wintec values diversity and inclusion. Therefore, our facilities are designed to encourage interprofessional learning between our health and our social practice students. This provides the opportunity for interaction between staff and students, which is reflective of real-world work environments.
Studying towards your qualification requires you to spend a set amount of time on placement – this means working in a real-life work environment where you can put your learnings into practice. The amount of time spent on placement varies according to what qualification you are studying, and in which year of study you are. First-year students will spend approximately a quarter of the year on placement. Whereas, by the time you reach your third year, you will spend almost all of your time on placement.
Please check the entry criteria for each programme to see which course is the best level for you to begin with. The entry criteria information can be found on each of the programme pages here online. You can also contact us directly to discuss the appropriate level for you at info@wintec.ac.nz.
In the Centre for Health and Social Practice we provide practical interprofessional education that prepares students for a future in the health and social practice industry.
If you have a passion for people, nursing, social work and counselling, physiotherapy, occupational therapy or midwifery are all challenging but rewarding choices. Our courses and programmes are a great way to start your career, supported by experienced and registered academic staff.
The Wintec Prospectus (otherwise known as a course guide) outlines everything you need to know about Wintec. It contains information about the Wintec campuses, student life, and the programmes that are on offer.
