Your Country - New Zealand
Entry Requirements
The University of Bradford is pleased to welcome applications from New Zealand. When you apply, we will consider your educational qualifications, your English Language level and, in some cases, your relevant work experience. Entry requirements will vary according to the course you are applying for, but we hope that the following information will be useful as a guide to our entry requirements.
Bachelor's/Undergraduate Study
Bradford considers applications from students who have obtained any of the following qualifications:
- University Junior Scholarship / Entrance Scholarship Examination
- University Entrance Certificate with New Zealand Bursaries Certificate
- New Zealand Technicians Certificate
- National Certificate / Diploma (level 4)
- Free Kindergarten Union Diploma
Additionally, Bradford welcomes A Level and IB students from International Schools.
Foundation Year Programmes
Bradford provides a wide variety of course specific and English language Foundation Year Programmes, to enable you to enter an undergraduate degree of your choice. These programmes may be suitable for students who do not have the necessary academic or English qualifications or who have been out of education for a while.
Master's/Postgraduate Study
Bradford considers students who have completed an undergraduate degree from a recognised university in New Zealand and meet the criteria for the appropriate course.
MBA
Candidates for Bradford's renowned MBA course will need to demonstrate that they have had significant managerial experience. Our regulations specify a minimum of three years of post graduation work experience. However, the mere fact that you have worked for three years since your graduation does not necessarily mean you have the level of managerial experience we require. The average length of work experience successful applicants have is between five and six years. MBA applicants will also be required to take an on-line Bradford Admissions Test.
Research
Students with more advanced qualifications and a well-thought out research proposal can be considered for MPhil / PhD level study.
English Language
English Language Requirements
If your first language is not English, you will need to provide proof of your English proficiency before you can be admitted onto any of our undergraduate or postgraduate courses.

English Language Support
If you need help with your English or want to build your confidence before starting your main degree programme, you can study at Bradford in the summer for 6 or 10 weeks or even attend a full IELTS preparation programme.
Additionally, Bradford offers free English classes for all overseas students throughout each year of study. You can take an assessment on arrival at the university which places you in a suitable class level. There are academic support classes as well as English classes available.
