About
Requirements
Entry Requirements
Graduate diplomas (one year) and graduate certificates (one semester) are considered undergraduate programmes, but students need to generally have completed an undergraduate qualification for entry.
You can find specific entry requirements on the programme page for your chosen programme.
English Program Requirements
AUT classes are taught in English. If English, Māori or NZ Sign Language is not your first language, you need to prove you have the minimum level of English for your AUT qualification.
We need to assess your level of English to ensure you can succeed in your programme. AUT does not accept responsibility if you fail courses because of a lack of competence in English.
How to Apply
Apply well before the semester starts
- Check the start date for your chosen programme on the AUT website. Note if there are any application deadlines
- Most programmes will start in both Semester 1 and Semester 2 each year. However some programmes only start date at the beginning of the year and some postgraduate programmes also start in October or have other start dates throughout the year
- You can apply at any time for research-only programmes including:
- Master of Philosophy
- Doctor of Philosophy
- Master of Engineering
