Admission planning

A little clarity.
A better next step.

Admission planning

Academic eligibility

  • A relevant bachelor's degree, normally with a B- average across Level 7 courses, or a professional qualification recognised as equivalent.
  • International qualifications are assessed for equivalence; meeting a minimum does not guarantee admission.

Admission planning

Language requirements

  • IELTS Academic 6.5 overall with no component below 6.0, or an accepted alternative meeting the applicable NZQA requirements.

Admission planning

Study intakes

  • February and July are listed for 2027 international entry.
  • The master's combines advanced computing study with research or applied project work; confirm the selected intake and project pathway when applying.

Admission planning

Application deadlines

  • The inspected programme and international application guidance did not publish a separate final admission closing date.
  • For the 2027 Early Bird Study Grant, apply and meet entry requirements by 18 November 2026 for Semester 1 or 26 April 2027 for Semester 2.
  • These grant dates do not guarantee later admission or visa-processing time.

Admission planning

International tuition

  • The 2027 international table lists NZ$31,327.20 per 120 credits, including GST and the Student Services Fee.
  • The qualification is 180 credits, so this is not the entire master's price.
  • Insurance and other applicable levies are excluded; obtain the full offer-specific fee schedule, including any later-year changes.

Admission planning

Scholarships & funding

  • The 2027 Early Bird Study Grant lists NZ$3,000 for this master's, applied to the first 120 credits of eligible full-time study.
  • Programme applications meeting the grant conditions are assessed without a separate grant form.
  • Other concessions, reduced-credit study or deferral can affect eligibility; an offer must confirm the credit.
