International students studying at secondary schools and applying for UE through NCEA, CIE or IB must apply using the English of that qualification. If they have not been able to gain UE, international students may meet literacy with the successful completion of the ACG Level 2 intensive English programme. IELTS results may also be required for AUT degrees with professional bodies that use IELTS as their literacy measure, such as the Health Science (Midwifery, Nursing, Occupational Therapy, Oral Health, Paramedicine, Physiotherapy, Podiatry) and Education ([Specialty] Teaching).

RANK SCORES Changes to entry rank scores Some AUT programmes are using a rank score as part of their entry requirement process. The Computer and Information Sciences, Engineering (Honours) and Laws all have a guaranteed entry score, which means that students who achieve this specified rank score will be guaranteed a place in the programme. BCIS: NCEA rank score 150 BE(Hons): NCEA rank score 250 with 18 level 3 credits from Calculus and Physics LLB: NCEA rank score 180 The Communication Studies has a preferred rank score, for when applicants exceed places available in the programme. As this does happen most years, it is advisable for your students to aim for this rank score. BCS: NCEA 180 rank score and CIE 150 rank score The popular health science degrees give preference to the highest level of academic achievement (highest performing students). However, there is no set rank score that guarantees entry to these degrees. How we calculate the rank score NCEA 80 best level 3 NCEA credits in University Entrance approved subjects are weighted by level of achievement No more than 24 credits per subject will be counted If a student achieves fewer than 80 credits at level 3 or higher, the score will be calculated on achieved credits Excellence: 4 points Merit: 3 points Achieved: 2 points Note: Excellence and merit credits are counted first, followed by the required number of Achieved, up to the maximum total of 80 credits. Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) Based on the student s UCAS Tariff score No more than six subject units over the last two years of study will be counted in subjects at AS, A2 or A level from subjects that match the NCEA University Entrance approved subjects The rank score may differ from the UCAS Tariff used for University Entrance because only subjects equivalent to NCEA approved ones will be used for calculating An A level counts as two subject units and an AS level counts as one subject unit. Students who have studied more than six subject units can count only the six best scores International Baccalaureate (IB) The student must have achieved the IB Diploma (24 points) We will evaluate you on the number of points achieved above 24 53
