University of Auckland changes to Entrance Requirements
The University of Auckland has recently announced several key changes to programme entry requirements for school leavers wanting to start university in 2021. The changes are:
- The Table A and Table B entrance requirements were removed for entrance to university for 2021 due to Covid 19. This requirement has now been removed permanently.
- Bachelor of Engineering (Honours): There are changes to the Calculus and Physics external requirements. The new requirement is 11 external credits from Level Three Calculus and 10 external credits from Level Three Physics.
- Bachelor of Urban Planning: The guaranteed entry score has been reduced from 230 points to 180 points.
- If students have received a Fast Track offer, the advice is to accept this offer. It does not commit students to study in 2021. If a Fast Track offer is accepted, then the student needs to meet the requirements for University Entrance and any subject specific requirements and the offer will stand.
You can read about the changes here: www.auckland.ac.nz/en/study/applications-and-admissions/entry-requirements/undergraduate-entry-requirements/2021-university-entrance-for-school-leavers.html
If you are unsure about any of the information above, please make an appointment to talk to one of our Careers Advisers next term.
