When applying to study with us the first step is to apply for admission into your chosen qualification. There are additional pre-admission steps for new international applicants living outside New Zealand. When approved, you will receive an Offer of Place and can apply for courses.
We strongly recommend that you apply as early as you can (this does not commit you to enrolling). Depending on your qualification, admission can take a few days or a few weeks to assess. Last-minute applications may not leave time for you to complete course enrolment.
