  • 14 credits at level 3 or higher in each of two subjects from an approved subject list; and
  • 14 credits at level 3 or higher taken from no more than two additional domains on the National Qualifications Framework or approved subjects; and

Discretionary admission (For applicants aged under 20)

Applicants who do not meet the general admission requirements and who are less than 20 years of age when the programme begins may be considered for discretionary admission if they can demonstrate aptitude for study at the required level. This may include, for example:

• Having completed the academic requirements for the National Diploma in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying or Architectural Technology; or
• Having an Advanced Diploma in Building, Quantity Surveying or Building Co-ordination.

Special admission (for applicants aged 20 and over)

Applicants who do not meet the general admission requirements and who are at least 20 years of age when the programme begins may be considered for special admission if they can provide evidence of aptitude or appropriate work or other experience.

English language

Applicants must:

• Have a minimum of eight NCEA credits in English at level 2, of which four must be in Reading and four in Writing, or equivalent; or
• Have a minimum of seven NCEA credits in an English-rich subject at level 3, or equivalent; or
• Have successfully completed studies at level 5 or higher in an English medium; or
• Have a minimum grade of 5 in New Zealand Sixth Form Certificate English, or equivalent; or

^{Note: New Zealand secondary school graduates who have English as an additional language (EAL) and are using NCEA to meet the general admission requirements may substitute the eight credits in English at NCEA level 2 (four in Reading and four in Writing) with an IELTS score (or equivalent). This IELTS score is the same as that required by the programme in which they wish to enrol. These students are still required to achieve a minimum of 42 NCEA credits at level 3 or higher and the Mathematics or Pangarau requirements.}
