Entry requirements

Note: The EdD is currently not open to new enrolments.

Every student, before enrolling for the degree, must be approved by the Amo Rangahau | Dean of Postgraduate Research (or delegate) as having adequate qualifications, experience, and ability to pursue the proposed course.

You must have either:

• an ΢��ҕ�l New Zealand bachelor’s degree with First or Second Class Honours; or
• a master’s degree with Distinction or Merit; or
• an approved qualification of equivalent standing.

You will normally need to have a minimum of five years’ experience in a relevant professional role. Most students usually continue to work in a relevant professional role while completing Part I of the degree.

In special circumstances, the Amo Rangahau | Dean of Postgraduate Research may approve the enrolment of a graduate who does not hold one of the qualifications above, but who has produced satisfactory evidence of adequate research experience, training, and ability to pursue the degree.
