International Baccalaureate

If you’ve completed the International Baccalaureate (IB) at a school in New Zealand, you’ll be admitted through this category.

To be automatically accepted into programmes offered, you will need to:

  1. achieve University Entrance
  2. fulfil any other degree-specific requirements (for example, a performance audition)
  3. apply by the deadline.

Sharing your IB results with Victoria University of Wellington

You can ask your school to grant Victoria University of Wellington electronic access to your IB results once they are released.

Allowing the University to view your results directly helps speed up the assessment of your admission application and can reduce processing time.
