I heard they do not give direct admission to master programme in New Zealand, is that true?

BiggyB242:


Please is possible to get a direct admission into a master program in Engineering without going through their diploma program in NZ

PNZD:
To the best of my Knowledge, this is not true.
They do give direct admission to international students. Although you have to be eligible to gain such. Their masters program is in two parts: taught and research. You can choose if you want to study for 1-yr, 18-months or 2years but I'm not sure this option covers all their Masters programmes.

Taught masters is made up of taught courses and may include a research project. You must have completed an undergraduate program from any recognized university with good grades. I read that some may require work experience so check the postgraduate site properly.

For a research masters, you must have completed a postgraduate diploma from the university or a postgraduate taught qualification from any recognized university and you will need a supervisor. I guess this is the origin of your question.

Please note that not all masters programme have these options.

My advice, go through the POSTGRADUATE website properly, both general and the departmental of your institution of interest. Also check the FAQs page of the proposed institution. If you still are not satisfied with the information, DO NOT HESITATE to contact the graduate studies secretary and postgraduate students information desk or however they call them. You can also ask them for information on supervisors. Best of luck

I'm applying for this NZDScholarship for Africans, getting an admission isn't a criterion, but be sure you will be accepted into the school after getting the scholarship was the condition given and I find it difficult to pick my courses their system is confusing. From my email conversation with one of the school, he was like I should get an admission first and I know that will take some time. Please give me some direction.

WhyNa:
Pls answer the question above

Sholy29ice:


YES and No..... No in the sense that it depends on the course you studied. If you studied business admin, you could still take a masters in agribusiness which stills fall under agric development.

WhyNa:


Please correct me if I'm wrong, the only courses available for Africans are in the areas of Agricultural development and Renewable Energy right?

Hello guys

Pls what are the documents I need to apply for NZ visa

Makpenen:
Good morning house
I just received my offer of admission for Master in applied finance and economics from University of Canterbury, Christ church.
I am having financial issues. I applied for NZ scholarship and waiting for their response.
Pls will it be proper to accept the offer before the selection for scholarship is over? And should I inform the scholarship board of the offer? I will like to connect with those who applied for the scholarship.Thanks.

PNZD:
hi Makpenen,

offers of admission have validity period. If you will get a response from NZ scholarship before that validity period expires, then you can wait. But if you won't, then it will be wise to accept the offer.

I equally applied for NZ scholarship. Mine is the NZDS. Is yours the same?

Hembelembe:

You can differ the admission till first semester 2018 in order to meet up with NZDS or try other available scholarship at University of Canterbury.

@ donkafor, what was the reason given for the cancellation of your application? Secondly, did you choose University of Auckland for NZDS? If yes, it definitely means that even if u where able to get the NZDS, University of Auckland might say u don't meet up with their required standard for admission. I applied to Massey University indicating that my means of sponsorship is NZDS. My application was neither rejected nor canceled. Though getting an offer is not a criteria for NZDS. However, I was given an offer of a place pending till NZDS will release the names of qualified scholars. Well, I'm also looking for a way of sourcing for other form of funding at Massey.
