To enrol in the BBus degree you must have an entrance to university qualification, either through Bursaries and Scholarship Examinations, NCEA, New Zealand University Entrance, Admission with Equivalent Status, Discretionary Entrance or Special Admission.

English and Maths are desirable school subjects. A school background in Accounting and Economics is useful but not essential.
