About this programme

The study of Design combines an understanding of human needs and desires, forming creative solutions, prototyping, developing and evaluating their impact and effectiveness - a well-balanced combination of analytical, technological and creative abilities.

Entry requirements

• International applicants must hold a secondary-school qualification equivalent to New Zealand University Entrance. Recognised pathways include Cambridge International A-Levels (typically three passes at grade C or above), the IB Diploma (minimum 24 points), or a recognised national school-leaving qualification; a NZ university foundation programme is also accepted. Many degrees have prerequisites on their core papers, so some programmes require specific school subjects (you may need additional or foundation papers if you lack them). Applicants whose first language is not English must also meet the University's English-language requirements.
