3. Get prepared

Prepare the documents you will need to upload as part of your application:

GPA Report

If you have completed study outside New Zealand, you will need to order a Premium GPA Report from Scholaro to calculate the GPA of the final two years of your highest completed overseas qualification. If your Master's was one year of study, calculate the final year of your Bachelor's study on a separate report.

This is not required for qualifications obtained in New Zealand.

Curriculum Vitae

Prepare a detailed Curriculum Vitae that includes details of your relevant academic history, work history and any relevant research experience. 

Academic documents

Collate and scan all relevant academic documents as evidence of your academic history (as detailed in your Curriculum Vitae).  This includes degree certificates, graduation certificates, and transcripts (with a grading scale) and translations (if required). 

If your tertiary education was completed in a European country, you must also supply a European Diploma Supplement.

Identity documents

Prepare a scan of the biographical page of your passport or birth certificate. 

Prior theses

You will need to provide an electronic copy of any theses you have already completed. If the thesis was submitted in a language other than English, only the thesis abstract is required. 

If you have not completed a thesis, supply evidence of relevant research publications instead.

English language proficiency

If you are an international student and have not completed a qualification in New Zealand, you will need to provide evidence of your English Language proficiency. 

Evidence of supervision

You will need to include written evidence that your supervisor is willing and able to supervise your research.
