Undergraduate Study The Bachelor’s degree is normally three years in duration and consists of a prescribed number of units, papers or courses. Typically, a Bachelor’s degree o!ers a great deal of flexibility, and the opportunity for students to choose a programme that is appropriate for them.

The Bachelor’s degree with Honours is a one-year programme of study following a Bachelor’s degree or an integrated four-year programme, requiring more specialised study in the chosen major subject and frequently involving some independent research or investigation.

In each undergraduate course a student is required to attend a number of lectures, tutorials and/or laboratory periods each week. In some courses, field trips provide opportunities for on-site study of the natural environment or social processes. Formal teaching contact is supplemented by personal reading and research. Students are expected to develop independent study skills with a minimum of professional supervision.

Many courses have a final written examination held either at mid-year (June) or the end of the academic year (October/November). Grades given in tests, assignments and practical work may also count towards the final grade for a course.

Postgraduate Study With a completed Bachelor’s degree, a graduate is able to progress to a range of postgraduate programmes:

Graduate Diploma: A one-year, full-time course of study for graduates. Prior learning or experience in the subject matter of the diploma is not always required, giving graduates an opportunity to add a qualification in a di!erent major subject to that of their first degree. A Graduate Diploma may also be used as a bridging qualification to specialist postgraduate study.

Postgraduate Diploma: A one-year full-time course of study that builds on the same subject matter in the academic field of a relevant Bachelor’s degree. In many universities the Postgraduate Diploma comprises the first year of a two-year Master’s degree.

Master’s Degree: The Master’s degree is open to those who have completed a Bachelor’s degree with good grades, and comprises 1$–$2 years of advanced study in the student’s major discipline. The successful student is expected to show, as the title implies, a real grasp of the subject, demonstrated by an understanding of the discipline, a capacity to reflect on it, and an ability to undertake research.

A Master’s degree normally includes both coursework and a significant research component. The more advanced level of teaching is reflected in the content of lectures; in the mode of teaching, which is likely to emphasise seminar presentation; and in the provision of research experience for the candidate. However, Masters’ degrees by coursework, plus a smaller research project, are increasingly available.

Doctorate: The main Doctorate is the PhD (Doctor of Philosophy). This degree can be taken in any one of the wide range of subjects o!ered by the New Zealand universities. A student is normally required to prepare under supervision a substantial thesis that represents original research into an approved topic. This research is normally carried out over 3$–$4 years of full-time study.

The PhD thesis is marked by a panel of external examiners. In most cases this is followed by an oral examination of the thesis and the candidate’s knowledge in the area before the degree is awarded.

PathwaysFoundation Studies: All universities o!er a Foundation programme for students who need further academic, English language and study skills preparation prior to undertaking undergraduate study. Foundation programmes generally o!er a choice of subject modules and run for up to one yearof full-time study.

English Language: All universities o!er intensive English language preparation for all levels of study. Specific academic English courses are o!ered as preparation for IELTS and TOEFL. Each university o!ers its own English language courses which can be used for admission instead of IELTS or TOEFL.
