To enrol at a New Zealand university a student needs to fulfil one of the following modes of entrance:
- The common entrance standard
- Special admission
- Discretionary entrance
- Admission ad eundem statum at entrance level
There are small numbers of programmes which can be taken without one of the above. These are generally programmes that prepare students for university-level study or impart basic workforce skills. Further information is available from each university.
