Tēnā koe Taehun,
I refer to your information request 8 April 2024 made under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act). You have requested the following information:
1. The lowest successful HSFY average academic score of who entered MB ChB and BDS under
the international entry pathway from 2022 – 2024
2. The average successful academic score of students who entered MB ChB and BDS under the
international entry pathway from 2022 – 2024
3. The median academic score of students who entered MB ChB and BDS under international
entry pathway from 2022 – 2024
Subject to the following comments, please see below tables which show the minimum, average and
median average academic scores of students who entered (i.e. accepted offers to) the BDS and MB
ChB programmes via the HSFY category for international students from 2022-2024:
• the data is correct as at 7 May 2024.
• Please note that the data includes students who may have received a pre-conditional offer to
enter the MB ChB or BDS programmes via the HSFY category for international students.
• It is also important to note that an applicant’s average academic score is not the only factor in
determining whether an applicant is successful in receiving an offer to enter the MB ChB or
BDS programmes. Further information on the entry requirements for both programmes is
available on the University website:
