Entry requirements

• International applicants need a secondary-school qualification recognised as equivalent to the New Zealand University Entrance standard (Year 13 / NCEA Level 3). Commonly accepted qualifications include the IB Diploma (a completed diploma of at least 24 points), Cambridge International A-Levels (three A-Levels with at least one at grade C or above), GCE A/AS-Levels, and a range of recognised national school-leaving qualifications. Some programmes require specific subjects to have been studied at school; applicants who do not meet the standard directly may enter through an approved foundation programme. A minimum standard of English is also required.
