The following table provides general academic entry information for students from different countries. Please note that the information provided is a guideline only and may be subject to change. Minimum grades apply.
Applicants to NMIT’s graduate diploma or postgraduate diploma programmes must have an undergraduate degree in any discipline.
In addition, if you are a non-native speaker of English and have not studied at degree level in an English speaking country, you will be required to meet our English language requirements(external link).
If your qualifications are different to those we have in New Zealand the information below may help you understand the equivalent pass rates for your country. Some programmes may also have requirements in a particular subject area and English language ability so it is best to also check this in conjunction with the specific entry requirements on each programme page.
