Additional Qualification Information

 

All tertiary education providers in New Zealand are required by the Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) to provide links to a set of additional information, related to their qualifications, that is available on a government website called Tahatū . However, the information NZGSE is required to link to is generic and not specifically related to our programmes. It is unlikely to be helpful to prospective applicants. We advise prospective applicants to read the Notes below.
