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.

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.

What it is
Five years in total on the Manawatu campus. A six-month open-entry pre-selection semester from February decides, with selection assessments, who enters the 4.5-year professional phase that starts in July.
What you need
- IB biology, chemistry, physics and maths are the recommended background; selection also needs a 5.0 (B) average and the STAT, Casper and MMI tests.
Requirements in full
Every IB applicant at Massey
A complete IB Diploma of 24 points is the entry requirement. If places are limited, your IB total is your rank score and the preferential entry score for most undergraduate degrees is 26.
How places are decided
- About two international applicants compete for each professional-phase place; selection uses pre-selection grades plus STAT, Casper and a multiple mini-interview.
