  • a completed combination of NCEA credits and Cambridge International Examination subjects for University Entrance
  • (Australian applicants only) an ATAR rank of 69.6 or better, or an OP rank of 14 or better from Queensland
  • a completed Level 4 qualification from another New Zealand tertiary institution, which must be relevant to your proposed programme of study
