Normally the minimum requirement is a three-year bachelor’s degree from a New Zealand university, or a qualification or combination of qualifications considered to be equivalent. If you gained your qualifications overseas, these will need to be assessed to make sure they are of an equivalent standard.
Students should have achieved at least a B average in 300-level courses in their undergraduate degree, which should have had a strong written component.
