Dear Matthew

I refer to your Official Information Act (the Act) request dated 15 September 2022 for information relating to 
the Bachelor of Nursing statistics. You have requested the fol owing: 
• How many placement positions, if any, have been available to students studying Bachelor of Nursing - Māori, 
Bachelor of Nursing – Pacific, and Bachelor of Nursing at your tertiary education institution annually over the 
past five years? 
• How many students, if any, have attained a Bachelor of Nursing - Māori, Bachelor of Nursing – Pacific, and 
Bachelor of Nursing degree at your tertiary education institution annually over the past five years? 
• What is the number of students, if any, who have undertaken a placement as part of a Bachelor of Nursing - 
Māori, Bachelor of Nursing – Pacific, or Bachelor of Nursing degree that your tertiary education institution, 
annually, over the past five years? 
 
Whilst UC in conjunction with Ara / Te Pūkenga offers the Master of Health Sciences Professional Practice 
(Nursing) programme, students enrol ed in this qualification must also be concurrently enrol ed in the Bachelor 
of Nursing at Ara / Te Pūkenga. 
As your request is specifical y regarding the Bachelor of Nursing and UC does not offer this qualification, this 
request is being formally transferred to Ara / Te Pūkenga under s 14(b)(i) of the Act, as the requested 
information is not held by UC but is believed to be held by Ara / Te Pūkenga. In these circumstances, we are 
required by section 14 of the Act to transfer your request. 
We have notified Ara / Te Pūkenga that UC is transferring your request to them today. They are required to 
respond to you within 20 working days. If you wish to  contact them directly regarding your request, please
