Step 1
Application
To apply for a place in the programme you need to complete an online application. If you are applying for the first time, you will need to sign up for a new account. There is no application fee.
You will receive an email acknowledging receipt of your application. If requested, you will need to submit physical certified copies of your supporting documents.
This will include a checklist of documents you will need to submit.
Please note: A certified hard copy of these documents may still be required in future.
Admission
Your application will be assessed and if you are successful, we will email you an offer of place.
When you have accepted a firm offer or have met the requirements of a conditional offer you can enrol in your courses.
Step 3
Apply for a visa (international students only)
You will need to apply for a student visa before you can study in the programme.
To apply for a visa, you will need a current passport, your offer of admission letter, fees receipt and evidence of funds to support yourself in New Zealand.
You do not need to have enrolled in courses before you pay your tuition fees. You should arrange the payment of your fees based on the fees estimate stated in your offer letter. Fees can be paid in instalments, however you must meet the requirements for your student visa, which may vary depending on your country of origin.
Once you have paid the fees, you can generate a statement through Student Services Online. This document can be used to support your visa application.
Immigration New Zealand provides specific details of all the required documentation for your visa application.
