Entry criteria
For secondary schools, the admission criteria normally includes English language proficiency and academic background plus any extra-curricular pursuits.

For tertiary institutions, the entry criteria normally includes English language proficiency and academic qualifications and background that determine your suitability for your preferred course.

Your qualifications may need to be assessed by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority.

Besides your academic qualifications, your work experience and life experience may also be taken into consideration. This is called RPL (Recognition of Prior Learning).

Applications and Enrolment deadlines
Schools and Universities advise students to start the application process early so as to allow them time to make preparations for their personal requirements.

On the other hand, tertiary institutions and secondary schools have different application and enrolment procedures and deadlines so it is advisable for those interested to consult with their preferred institution about the technicalities.

The chances of your application being successful are increased if it is submitted well before the deadline.
