Te whakauru mai o te tauira nō tāwāhi

To successfully enrol, international students studying from their home country need to provide documentation, pay fees and talk with us.

Here is what you need to know:

1. Available programmes

There are three  programmes available  for offshore delivery:

2. How to apply

Navigate to the ‘Study options’ tab to see the undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate programmes.

Select your desired programme, and use the ‘Apply now’button to start your application.

Make sure you finalise your application and submit it.

Once we receive the application, we will then contact you and inform you of the required documents and forms and any additional information required for international students.

3. Providing documents

Provide the documentation required within the timeframe requested.

Please make sure you submit the two verified forms of identification along with your application. This will help us to speed up your enrolment. 

A verified copy of a document means a photocopy signed by a Justice of the Peace (JP), solicitor, church minister, Police Officer, school principal or Member of Parliament.

For those who will need NZQA assessment, please contact NZQA with enough notice (the assessment can take up to 3 months).

4. English Competency

Ensure you have evidence of your English Competency. You can find the requirements for an academic IELTS or an academic PTE per each programme here:

Programme IELTS Overall Band scores PTE Overall Band scores
Bachelor of Education 6.0 with no band less than 5.5 50 with no band less than 42
Postgraduate Diploma in Infants and Toddlers Learning and Development 6.5 with no band less than 6.0 58 with no band less than 50

5. Credit for prior learning

You may be able to transfer credits for formal qualifications and learning gained from earlier study at other universities or education institutions.

If this qualification was completed outside of New Zealand you will need to first have it assessed by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA). The NZQA website will tell you more about this.

Find out how to apply to have an overseas qualification evaluated for use in New Zealand.

If you want to apply for credit transfer you need to:

  • indicate this on your programme application form

  • complete an Assessment of Credit for Prior Learning form

  • provide a verified copy of the qualification including your name, a transcript and other information about the learning.

  • No recognition of prior learning for informal learning is offered for the programmes that Te Rito Maioha offers for international students.
