Applications to graduate diplomas and masters programs require that the applicant has achieved a first degree with a high grade point average in a subject area that relates to the proposed subject area of further study. Generally a B average is required for engineering, science and management and related fields, while higher averages are required for more specialised subject areas. As all programs are taught in English, a high degree of language competence is expected with IELTS scores of 6.5 being considered a minimum.


To help you make the right choice, the New Zealand Government evaluates the quality of research undertaken in its educational institutions through the Performance Based Research Funding exercise. This


is a particularly good measure for prospective graduate students of judging how good and how active an institution or indeed an individual academic department is by evaluation the activity level of research staff, the amount of external research funding that is received and the number of student completions at the research level. Details of the last exercise can be found at the Tertiary Education


Commission website, www.tec.govt.nz
