If you narrowly missed gaining the academic requirements for admission to University, or are over 20 and have been out of study for some time, you can apply to enrol in the Certificate of University Preparation. Successful completion of this one-semester qualification will give you admission to University and prepare you for undergraduate study.

The programme is suitable for both domestic and international students. Students from non-English speaking backgrounds must have good English language skills. If you have qualifications other than those listed in Massey University’s entrance requirements, you are welcome to apply for entry and your eligibility will be assessed.

On successful completion of the Certificate you will be eligible for admission to unrestricted undergraduate programmes at Massey University and other New Zealand universities.

Contact the University for advice If you plan to take an undergraduate degree with additional subject or portfolio requirements.

• Have completed a qualification which is equivalent academically to New Zealand’s NCEA Level 2
• Have you achieved 14 literacy credits at NCEA level 1 or higher
