You will need to have qualified for an Aotearoa New Zealand bachelor's degree (or other qualifications of an equivalent standard).
You must also satisfy the prerequisites for a major subject. Prerequisites vary between departments, but normally good grades in 300-level courses in the subject is required.
If you do not meet the prerequisites in your chosen subject, you may be able to complete a qualifying course, or substitute relevant professional practice or other work experience that satisfies your ability to pursue postgraduate-level studies in that subject.
Applicants must also satisfy our English language entry requirements:
IELTS (Academic): An average score of 6.5, with a minimum of 6.0 in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
TOEFL (IBT): Total minimum score of 90, minimum score of 19 in reading, writing, and listening.
PTE (Pearson Test of English - Academic): PTE with an overall score of 58 and no PTE communicative skills score below 50.
Applications after the deadline date (8 December) will be considered if places are available.
If you aren't eligible for the above entry requirements, you might have a chance to explore pathway options at University of Canterbury. If you want to find out more, speak to our counsellors.
