Domestic Graduate applicants must have completed a full-time degree/degrees from a New Zealand
university with a minimum of GPA 6.0 (B+ average) to be eligible for consideration for an MBChB admission
interview. The last year of full time study in a completed qualification must not have been more than 5
years prior to the year of application. If an applicant has completed more than 3 years full-time study
(including Honours, Postgraduate Diploma and Masters), the best 3 years will be considered in GPA
calculations.
Example GPA calculation for an applicant who have completed a standard full-time three year
undergraduate degree and a standard full-time one year postgraduate diploma from University of
Auckland (all courses worth 15 credits each)
