Entry requirements

Find out more about entry requirements to study a PhD at The University of Auckland.

Acceptance into a PhD is based on academic merit, but you must also demonstrate a proven ability to carry out research independently and possess a high level of critical research skill and theoretical understanding.

In general, acceptance is based on a relevant bachelors degree with first class or second class (division 1) honours, or a masters degree with first class or second class (division 1) honours, or its equivalent at a recognised institution. Acceptance is also subject to the availability of staff for supervision and appropriate facilities.

If English is not your first language, you will need to supply evidence of your English language proficiency. Some faculties and departments require higher level of English language proficiency.
