University in New Zealand - Application Procedure

The basic level of admission is the same across the New Zealand university system. However, individual universities may require higher standards for admission to courses which are in high demand.

All students must be fluent in English language if they are to succeed at a university in New Zealand. AA Education Network can assist international students to reach the required level of English language competence. The universities have specified minimum levels of competence e.g. 6.0 in IELTS or 550 in TOEFL for most undergraduate degrees; details of any higher requirements for specific degrees may be obtained from individual universities.

Applications for admissions to universities should include

• certified copies of the highest secondary school certificates received
• official academic records of any tertiary study undertaken

Universities in New Zealand have an established policy on the engagement and use of education agents for the recruitment of international students to its programmes.

Universities in New Zealand have selected a number of highly regarded education agencies in New Zealand and overseas to assist prospective students and their families with course advice, travel and visa information.
