English Language Entry Requirements

If English is not your first language you are required to have attained an acceptable level of English language fluency. This may be demonstrated in a variety of ways, including successful study in English, approved scores on TOEFL or IELTS (6.0 Academic) tests, completion of accepted international equivalents, or completion of an EIT Hawke’s Bay language assessment. In addition, students are required to show evidence of good school records.

You may already have knowledge or skills that can be recognised as part of your intended study. This may take a number of different forms including study at a private training establishment, workplace training, other tertiary study, or life experiences. If you think you may qualify, you may want to apply for Cross Credit (CC) or Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL).

●  CC is based on the equivalency of courses or qualifications. You would apply for CC if you have passed a very similar course at the same level.
●  RPL is based on the assessment of your current knowledge and skills. You would apply for RPL if you had gained the relevant knowledge and skills through life experiences and informal learning situations.
●  CC and RPL can only be awarded for Level 8 study, not Level 9.

You will be asked to provide details of anything that you would like considered as credit toward your intended programme of study, as part of your application.

You must apply prior to enrolment in the course. CC and RPL cannot be awarded for a course if you are enrolled in that course.

CC may be granted from other degree programmes, providing they are not part of the entry qualification.

For further information and enquiries about CC and RPL please contact Jane Hay, the School of Computing Postgraduate Programmes Secretary, on 09 979 9418 or email jehay@eit.ac.nz.
