Decide between a July 2027 and a February 2028 startYour own planDetails
Not published by anyone, and the decision the rest of this page depends on. A mid-year start means applying before you have any results at all; February 2028 means eight months between your last exam and your first lecture. Not every degree admits mid-year, and the professional ones generally do not.

8 June 2027
International applications close for a Semester Two 2027 (July start)Hard deadlineDetails
One university's date, and the clearest illustration of the problem. It is a month before the May-session IB results are published, so a mid-year start is applied for on predicted grades or not at all. Domestic applicants for the same intake have until 4 July - the international date is nearly a month earlier, and nothing on a programme page says so. Every other university sets its own; this is not a national deadline.

University of Auckland: Medicine, Optometry, Pharmacy and Medical Imaging close for February 2028Hard deadlineDetails
Five days before IB results are released, for an intake starting eight months later. If you are aiming at a competitive health programme in New Zealand, the application is written and submitted during your exam season. Otago runs its own Health Sciences First Year selection on a different basis again.

The full IB Diploma, English as Language A at Standard or Higher Level (or Language B at Higher Level, which Auckland accepts only at grade 5 or above), and any mathematics subject. This is a check on your subject choices, so it has to happen while they can still change - which is why it is dated here and not when you apply.
