“I chose to study at <strong>Wintec</strong> because it has a reputation as being a safe place for<br />
international students. This was important to my family since I was only 17 when<br />
I moved here. I enrolled into the Certificate in English (Level 5) programme and<br />
found the tutors very friendly and patient with me. It was helpful being able to talk<br />
to a Chinese <strong>Student</strong> Advisor when I needed guidance and advice. I am having a<br />
wonderful time with my homestay family where I’m a big sister to my homestay<br />
family brothers and sisters. My parents visited me from China and they have<br />
enjoyed living in a mixed cultural environment. I am looking forward to completing<br />
my Certificate in English and enrolling into the Bachelor of Business Studies. After<br />
I finish my studies, I want to find a job in Hamilton and stay here as it’s a beautiful<br />
place to live.”<br />

“I started my learning journey with <strong>Wintec</strong> in 2011 by enrolling in the<br />
Certificate in English. I was quite nervous as I wasn’t able to speak English very<br />
well. <strong>Wintec</strong>’s supportive and friendly learning atmosphere helped boost my<br />
confidence and enhance my communication skills and vocabulary. Throughout<br />
my studies I have experienced new and motivating teaching methods in the<br />
classroom like chat groups and how to conduct interviews and helpful writing<br />
techniques. The tutors at <strong>Wintec</strong> are very patient and encouraging with the<br />
students. After completing the Certificate in English and Diploma in English, I<br />
am now pursuing the Bachelor of Technology at <strong>Wintec</strong>.”<br />

“I wasn’t sure about my career path when I finished school. After traveling and<br />
working in different jobs, I came across <strong>Wintec</strong>’s Bachelor of Business degree, and I<br />
got the feeling this is what I was looking for. Initially I was worried about how I would<br />
cope with the exams and assignments as I was working full-time and didn’t want to<br />
give up my job. <strong>Wintec</strong> proved to be the perfect place to study as an adult learner.<br />
The programmes were flexible and the tutors were very supportive. This degree has<br />
changed everything for me. Now I have a job as a Senior Tax Consultant at KPMG,<br />

“It was hard to choose a place to study when you’re living in<br />
another country. I checked the course paths online and there was<br />
an impressive array of options available within the School of Media<br />
Arts for me to choose from. Once I arrived at <strong>Wintec</strong> I received<br />
a considerable amount of support and there was always plenty<br />
of encouragement and freedom to try new things. In my final<br />
year I developed the student journalism website and also started<br />
working as a note-taker for student services at <strong>Wintec</strong>. My tutor<br />
then recommended me for an internship which led me into my job<br />
as a data journalist at the New Zealand Herald in Auckland.”<br />

Whether you want to work as part of a team or individually,<br />
indoors or out, studying landscape with <strong>Wintec</strong> will provide you<br />
with the work skills and job opportunities to start a successful<br />
career as a landscape designer or contractor. This two-year<br />
course teaches you the applied skills of landscape design and<br />
construction in a purpose-built studio right in the heart of<br />
Hamilton Gardens.<br />
HANDS ON TEACHING<br />
The Diploma programme has a strong practical emphasis and is<br />
largely taught using real-life projects with real clients, such as<br />
a local school, kindergarten, park, community lifestyle blocks,<br />
residential sections, private courtyards or Marae. You’ll learn<br />
how to construct paving, fences, retaining walls and outdoor<br />
fireplaces and decking. <strong>Wintec</strong> tutors will often use current<br />
projects for their teaching.<br />
ON THE JOB EVERY DAY<br />
Because you’re studying right in the middle of an internationally<br />
recognised public garden, you’re immersed in nearly every aspect<br />
of gardening and landscape design and constantly exposed to the<br />
most up-to-date industry practices. In addition, practical work<br />
projects form a core element of the teaching approach in both<br />
design and construction, so you will receive practical training on<br />
an almost daily basis. <strong>Wintec</strong> also maintains a close relationship<br />
with Landscape New Zealand, who assist in the development of<br />
the teaching programme to ensure that what you learn is exactly<br />
what the industry is looking for.<br />
USE THE LATEST TECHNOLOGY<br />

A PRACTICAL APPROACH<br />
At <strong>Wintec</strong> we take a hands-on approach to learning. Using<br />
the latest hospital standard realistic models and props you’ll<br />
carry out simulations of birthing procedures, take recordings,<br />
assess babies and learn how to manage obstectrics procedures.<br />
You’ll also engage in scenario work to practise dealing with<br />
the different situations a midwife can encounter. <strong>Wintec</strong>’s<br />
experienced, industry qualified tutors are often joined in<br />
workshops by guest speakers such as midwifery educators from<br />
the Waikato District Health Board.<br />
LEARNING ON THE JOB<br />
On this programme you have the opportunity to follow women<br />
through their pregnancy, labour, birth and postnatal care. In<br />
your first year you spend 16 weeks in clinical placements at birth<br />
centres, hospitals and various community agencies working under<br />
the supervision of a registered midwife. In your second year, your<br />
time in clinical placements is 30 weeks. In your third year you will<br />
spend just four weeks in class and the rest of the year on the job<br />
training working alongside registered midwives.<br />
You will also need to provide two references, a Curriculum Vitae,<br />
a completed Health Declaration form and a personal statement.<br />

“After training and working as a lawyer in Russia, my company<br />
sent me to New Zealand to learn English. I fell in love with New<br />
Zealand and decided to change my pathway to nursing. I completed<br />
the Certificate in Advanced English (Level 4) and the Certificate<br />
in Introduction to Study (Health) (Level 4) which prepared me<br />
to study the Bachelor of Nursing. The preparation course was<br />
perfect because it covered a range of topics (such as science and<br />
preparation for writing assignments) that were all new for me as a<br />
foreigner. I now work with the elderly in mental health, and I feel<br />
like I am doing something important and making a difference.”<br />

BACHELOR OF APPLIED SOCIAL SCIENCE<br />
(COUNSELLING OR SOCIAL WORK)<br />
DURATION: Starts February for three years<br />
IELTS: 6.5 in all bands, or equivalent<br />
COUNSELLING<br />
OVERVIEW<br />
Counselling is a challenging yet rewarding career that has a wide<br />
range of employment options. You will learn how to support<br />
people to empower themselves and as a result, your own life will<br />
be enhanced. The Bachelor programme offers firsthand applied<br />
education and development for those who wish to pursue a<br />
professional career in counselling. If you are already working<br />
in the areas of mental health, education or social services, this<br />
programme will give you a formal qualification.<br />
Upon completion of your degree, you’ll have a framework of<br />
practical counselling skills, integrated with a sound theoretical<br />
foundation. When you embark on this programme you need to be<br />
prepared to change – to grow both personally and professionally<br />
as you learn the theory and practice of counselling. This<br />
programme has been designed to meet the requirements for<br />
membership of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors.<br />
HANDS-ON LEARNING<br />
During this applied degree you spend 450 total hours supervised<br />
practicum experience putting into practice what you learn on<br />
campus. While on placement you gain the skills and knowledge<br />
to capably work alongside other professional disciplines which<br />
prepares you to confidently enter the counselling profession<br />
upon graduation.<br />
IN TOUCH WITH THE INDUSTRY<br />
Your tutors are all experienced practitioners qualified in both<br />
counselling practice and teaching. They meet regularly with<br />
counsellors in the community to ensure the programme aligns<br />
with the latest developments out in the field.<br />
SOCIAL WORK<br />
OVERVIEW<br />
There is a shortage of social workers throughout New Zealand<br />
and a social work degree from <strong>Wintec</strong> will set you on a rewarding<br />
career path in this industry. The programme provides in-depth<br />
knowledge and skills relating to social work practices in<br />
contemporary Aotearoa. It has a collaborative focus, encouraging<br />
people to work in teams and recognise strengths in others.<br />
This three year programme will give you the knowledge, skills,<br />
and attributes required for social work practice in a variety<br />
of settings including schools, hospitals, community groups or<br />
government services. You will also learn how to reflect on your<br />
own perceptions, actions and processes along with the ability to<br />
justify and defend your professional practice.<br />
LEARN BY DOING<br />
Around sixty percent of your learning will be by practical<br />
application supported by a relevant theory base. On campus small<br />
groups and role-playing case studies enable you to get the feel<br />
of real social work situations. Clients will participate in creating<br />
actual scenarios which are videotaped then revised and critiqued<br />
by students and tutors. Placements with a variety of agencies<br />
are part of the curriculum in your second and third year of the<br />
programme. These placements teach you the skills you will need<br />
to work within these organisations.<br />
CHANGING WITH THE INDUSTRY<br />
Feedback through placements and liaising with industry<br />
organisations allows the programme to keep pace with the<br />
ever-changing industry needs and standards. These strong<br />
industry relationships also lead to potential employment for<br />
graduate students.<br />
INDUSTRY SPECIALISTS<br />
Your tutors all have extensive backgrounds in social work as well<br />
as links with community and Government agencies. Throughout<br />
the programme practitioners from different agencies join us in to<br />
provide input on current practice tools and skills which enhance<br />
student learning and knowledge.<br />

“The reason I chose <strong>Wintec</strong> to pursue my Bachelor of Applied Social Sciences<br />
(Social Work) was because of its friendly environment, cooperative tutors and<br />
supportive student services. This programme has helped me reach the biggest<br />
milestone of my learning journey. The student placements have given me<br />
confidence to begin my career as a social worker. I am about to start my final<br />
student placement with Child, Youth and Family and hope to work as a registered<br />
social worker soon afterwards. I have received exceptional support from <strong>Wintec</strong>’s<br />
student learning and support services, particularly in regards to getting my visa.<br />
<strong>Wintec</strong> has felt like a second home in New Zealand for me.”<br />

“Deciding to pursue my higher education at <strong>Wintec</strong> is one of the wisest decisions I have<br />
made as a student. Having completed my Association Montessori <strong>International</strong>e (AMI)<br />
Diploma in Sri Lanka I wanted to study further in the field of early childhood education,<br />
<strong>Wintec</strong> provided me with an invaluable opportunity to not only do that but to gain<br />
significant practical experience while studying. Moving to a foreign country and adapting<br />
to their values and culture would not have been easy if it weren’t for the lecturers and<br />
staff at <strong>Wintec</strong>. Their constant support and guidance was a massive confidence booster<br />
that helped me through this new learning experience which has been the most<br />
remarkable experience of my life”.<br />
