Dear S Liu 
 
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act, asking for: 
 
•  The number of applicants into AUT’s AK3485 – Master of Health Science (majoring in 
Counselling Psychology) for 2022. 
 
For Semester 1 2022, there were 114 applicants for AK3485 – Master of Health 
Science (majoring in Counselling Psychology), of which 77 were eligible to be 
considered for an offer of place.  
 
•  The number of successful applicants. 
 
Of those 77 eligible applicants, AUT made an offer of place to 10 applicants.  
 
•  The successful applicants' academic background (whether they studied at AUT or 
other universities). 
 
This has been withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the Official Information Act to 
protect the privacy of individuals. 
 
•  Their GPA. 
 
This has been withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the Official Information Act to 
protect the privacy of individuals. 
 
In considering the public interest in release, this does not outweigh the privacy interest in 
the information, and for that reason the information is withheld.  
 
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. 
Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz  
or freephone 0800 802 602.
