member.
BE(Hons) Part II All specialisations
54
UOA students:
All students who complete a minimum of 90 points in Part I (including ENGSCI 111) by the end of Summer
School 2023 will be offered a place in a Part II specialization up to the limits specified above. Where demand
exceeds the stated limits, candidates will be ranked according to GPA *. Students who do not gain a place in
their preferred specialization will be offered a place in another engineering specialization, ranked by GPA*,
providing they meet the subject requirements of the remaining places in specializations. Students not
completing all 120pts from Part I and not placed in a specialization will be required to complete the remaining
Part 1 points, before being allocated a Part II specialization the following year.
* Where an applicant’s transcript records an ungraded pass for a final result in the C- to C+ grade range
under the UoA COVID-19 Revised Assessment Approach to Facilitate Online Delivery policy, the GPA
calculation for the purpose of selection into a specialisation will use the C- to C+ grade achieved (including the
application of any aegrotat or compassionate consideration) for the course. (This is to avoid any unfair
advantage which may arise from removing ungraded courses from the selection base.)
Transferring students: Transferring students with a minimum GPA/GPE of 5.0 in study deemed equivalent to 90 points at Part I, may
be admitted to a Part II specialization up to the limits for each specialization listed above (subject to not
exceeding the overall limit for students entering the degree at Part II).
Applicants will be ranked on academic merit based on GPA.
MAPTES:
For those students in the Engineering MAPTES Programme, progressing from Part I to part II, an allowance of
0.5 GPA will be applied to selection for preferred Part II specializations. All students will still need to meet
requirements for entry into Part II as UoA students above.

and see Notes Part III below) and in their first year of transferred enrolment at the University of Auckland the
student must successful y complete with the same minimum grade requirements as required for entry to Part II
any outstanding Part I course/s as required of those students admitted from the University of Auckland.
Discretionary hardship^:
Academic merit ranked by Law GPA and appropriate evidence of exceptional unforeseen circumstances and
resulting hardship (see Notes Part III below).
Selection committee:
Deputy Dean, (or nominee) as Chair, Associate Dean (Academic) President of the New Zealand Law Society
(or nominee) Pro-Vice Chancellor Equity (or nominee), Tumuaki/Associate Dean (Maori) or kaiārahi,
Associate Dean (Pacific)
Notes Part I
Only students who gain B- or better in LAW 121G (or C+ in the case of UTAS
students) will be permitted to proceed to LAW 131 and LAW 141.
Notes Part II
The Law GPA for the purpose of admission into LLB Part II is to be based on the grades for LAW
121/121G Law and Society and LAW 131 Legal Method and LAW 141 Legal Foundations, together
with the grades in the best other courses (being degree courses of a university) taken in the most
recent year of study that constitute 75 points (or equivalent).
The grade for LAW 121/121G is to be single-weighted, but the grades for LAW 131 and LAW 141 are
to be double-weighted for the purpose of calculating the Law GPA; that is, each of LAW 131 and
LAW 141 is to be treated as if it were a 30-point course for Part II selection purposes.
Where a student has attempted LAW 121/121G, LAW 131 or LAW 141 multiple times, the highest
grade achieved in each course is to be used for the purpose of calculating the Law GPA.
In cases where the most recent year comprised courses (other than LAW 121/121G, LAW 131 and
LAW 141) totaling fewer than 75 points, the grades achieved in the most recent year are to be
supplemented by grades in courses from the most recent preceding year(s), to a total of 75 points
(or equivalent).
No applicant will be selected for General admission nor for Discretionary Hardship admission nor
under the Targeted Admission Schemes for Māori, Pacific, Students with Disabilities, Students
from Low Socioeconomic, or Refugee backgrounds unless he or she obtained (i) a Law GPA of at
least 3.000 (C+ average) and, (ii) a grade of at least C+ in LAW 121/121G Law & Society and in
LAW 131 Legal Method (or in LAW 101 the Legal System before 2006) and in LAW 141 Legal
Foundations, or equivalent standard of achievement in the LSAT or other measure of legal aptitude
(under LLB regulation 9). These are the minimum grade requirements.
Applicants with a Law GPA of 6.5 or higher will be guaranteed admission (under general
admission). Applicants with lower Law GPAs may be admitted in the various UTAS categories,
subject to meeting the minimum grade requirements specified above. In the event that not all
available places are thereby filled, the threshold for general admission may be set below GPA 6.5.
In the case of Transferring Part II law applicants (being students who have been admitted to
second-year law courses at another New Zealand law school but who have not yet satisfied all of
this University’s Part I and II requirements because of the different degree structures and who will
have non-law credit for at least 5 courses at 15 points each) the Law GPA is to include the grades
in any second-year law courses taken (up to 90 points). A Transferring Part II law applicant who
has not yet passed the equivalent of LAW 141 will be required to successfully complete LAW 141
in their first year of transferred enrolment alongside LAW 201-298 and their continuation on the
63
LLB programme will be conditional on successfully completing LAW141 with this University’s
minimum grade requirements. Students applying in this category may not be considered under
any other scheme except the Discretionary Hardship admission scheme for Part II.
In the case of students who have completed LLB Part I (but have not yet been admitted to LLB
Part II) at another NZ law school, with high grades that meet this University’s minimum Part I
grade requirements for our Part II admission standard, and who have passed the equivalent of
LAW 121 and 131 but (because of the different degree structures) not yet passed the equivalent
of LAW 141 nor 75 points in non-law courses, admission to LLB Part II may be approved under
general admission or discretionary hardship or any of the UTAS categories. Such students, if
selected for admission to LLB Part II, must successfully complete LAW 141 in their first year of
transferred enrolment, with this University’s minimum grade requirements for entry into Part II
and the outstanding non-law course/s alongside LAW 201-298 and their continuation on the LLB
programme will be conditional on their successful completion of these requirements. Applicants in
this category with a Law GPA of 6.5 or higher will be guaranteed admission.In the event that the
Law GPA required for general admission is lower than 6.5, that lower Law GPA will be applied to
transferring applicants.
Where an applicant makes a good case which is accepted by the Dean that the work done in the
most recent year or years was not representative of his or her ability because of significant
unforeseen circumstances beyond his or her control that have impacted on his or her grades, the
average may be computed from courses taken in an earlier year or years.
Where an applicant has passed LAW 101 The Legal System prior to 2006, the grade for LAW 101
is to be substituted for LAW 121/121G and LAW 131, and weighted as though 45 points.
Where, under LLB regulation 9, a graduate applicant is to be considered for Part II admission
without having taken LAW 101or LAW 121/121G, 131 and 141, the Law GPA for selection
purposes is to be computed on the basis of (i) the best courses (being degree courses of a
university) taken in the most recent year of full-time study (or most recent years, where the most
recent year was not full-time, or was limited full-time) which constitute a normal full- time
programme of 120 points (or equivalent) and (ii) the LSAT score or other measure of legal aptitude
approved by the Dean under regulation 9.
In respect of Maori+ UTAS admission to Part II, in the event that more than 32 applicants have
achieved the minimum standard (Law GPA of at least 3.0, with at least C+ grades in LAW 121G,
LAW 131 and LAW 141) and have satisfied the interviewing panel as to their eligibility to be
admitted under the scheme, additional places may be offered to enable more than 32 students to
be admitted.
Discretionary Hardship Part II* admission scheme:
Up to 3 places may be allocated to students whose Law GPA is below the standard required but
who are able to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Selection Committee: (i) that their failure to
meet that standard is attributable to exceptional, unforeseen circumstances beyond their control,
independently verified by appropriate evidence of medical, family or other; and (ii) that undue
hardship would result if they were not admitted to LLB Part II at the University of Auckland.
Notes Part III
Academic merit and legal aptitude, as shown by an applicant’s Law GPA calculated as follows:
Students from other New Zealand law schools may be considered for admission to LLB Part III,
provided they have passed at least 5 non-law courses totaling 75 points, and the equivalents of
64
LAW 121G, 131, at this University’s minimum standard, and the equivalents of any of LAW 201,
211, 231, and 241.
The Law GPA for the purpose of admission into LLB Part III for such transferring students is to be
based on the grades achieved in (i) LAW 121/121G and LAW131 (and LAW 141 if previously
completed), or their equivalent/s, with LAW 121 to be single-weighted and each of LAW 131 and
141 being weighted as 30 points; and (ii) in LAW 201, LAW 211, LAW 231 and LAW 241, or their
equivalents, together weighted as 120 points.
In each case, the equivalent Part II course(s) offered at another New Zealand law school shall be
substituted, and the grade weighted as though for the Auckland equivalent. Where a student has
attempted any of these courses multiple times, the highest grade achieved in each course is to be
used for the purpose of calculating the Law GPA.
Where an applicant makes a good case which is accepted by the Dean that the work done in the
most recent year or years was not representative of his or her ability because of significant
unforeseen circumstances beyond his or her control that have impacted on his or her grades, the
average may be computed from courses taken in an earlier year or years.
Transferring students admitted to Part III must in their first year of transferred enrolment at the
University of Auckland successfully complete LAW141 with this university’s minimum grade
requirements for entry into Part II if not already completed.
Discretionary Hardship Part III^ admission scheme:
Of the 10 places reserved for Transferring Part III Law, up to 5 places may be allocated to students
whose Law GPA is below the standard required for Part II entry but who are able to demonstrate
to the satisfaction of the Selection Committee: (i) that their failure to meet that standard is
attributable to exceptional, unforeseen circumstances beyond their control, independently verified
by appropriate evidence of medical, family or other; and (ii) that undue hardship would result if
they were not admitted to LLB Part III at the University of Auckland.

Section 2: Selection criteria
The following criteria are proposed to be used by the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences to select
students into limited entry programmes in 2023.
Note: Criteria highlighted in grey should not be changed for 2023 as it was set as part of the
Guaranteed Entry Scores exercise and has been published.
BHSc
School leavers:
Selection is based on a rank score calculated on the basis of grades achieved by an applicant in NCEA
Level 3, Cambridge International (A or AS levels) or IB. Year 12 results may also be used for the
purpose of early programme (fast track) offers for school leavers completing NCEA, Cambridge
International or IB in 2022.
Applicants will be offered a place if they meet the following requirements:
NCEA: rank score of 250 or better, including a minimum of 18 credits in one subject of Classical
Studies, English, Geography, History, History of Art, Social Studies or Te Reo Māori (or Te Reo
Rangatira) and a minimum of 18 credits in one subject of Biology, Chemistry or Physics.
Cambridge International: rank score of 300 or better, including one of Classical Studies, English,
Geography or History at A level and one of Biology, Chemistry or Physics at A level.
IB rank score of 33 or better.
If places remain available after selection on this basis the Faculty will consider applicants with an
NCEA rank score of ≥ 210, or a Cambridge International rank score of ≥230 ranked by academic merit
down to the rank score.
Other applicants:
Applicants, who in the previous academic year have successfully completed the CertHSc with a GPA of
≥4.5, will be offered a place on the programme.
Applicants, who in the previous academic year have successfully completed the TFC with a GPA of ≥
5.5 will be offered a place on the programme.
Other non-school-leaver applicants will be considered on the basis of previous tertiary study and
require a minimum of one semester (usually 6mths) of full-time study in an undergraduate degree
programme from a recognised university (or similar institution), with a minimum Grade Point Average
(GPA) of 5.0 or across the entire degree so far. A rank order of other non-school leaver applicants will
be established based on their academic performance (based on GPA). Places will be offered to the
highest ranking applicants until the limit is reached. The number of places available to other applicants
is dependent on the number of places filled by school leaver, CertHsc and TFC applicants who are
guaranteed a place.
