Amended BE(Hons) Admission Requirements
To recognise the significant disruption caused by Covid-19 on New Zealand secondary school students, the Faculty of Engineering will adjust admission requirements for 2023 entrance. While the advised rank score and subject requirements still guarantee entry in the Bachelor of Engineering (Honours), some further adjustment to the requirements will be considered, subject to places being available.
All school leaver applicants who have completed all subject requirements, but did not achieve the rank score required will be considered. The higher the rank score the more likely admission is granted.
