Entry
Providers of programmes leading to Master’s qualifications are responsible for establishing
entry requirements. The minimum entry qualification for a Master’s Degree is a Bachelor’s
Degree or equivalent (to a Bachelor’s Degree listed at level 7 on the NZQF).
A programme of study leading to the Master’s Degree is open to those who have met the
entrance requirements, including specified levels of attainment, in the programme admission
regulations.
The minimum entry qualification for a Master’s Degree of fewer than 240 credits but no
fewer than 120 credits is either a Bachelor Honours Degree or a Postgraduate Diploma or
an undergraduate degree followed by relevant professional experience.
Admission as an individual to a Master’s Degree is based on the evaluation of documentary
evidence (including the academic record) of the individual applicant’s ability to undertake
postgraduate study in a specialist field of enquiry or professional practice.
