 Dear requester,

 

I refer to your request of 5 March 2026. The University's response
follows:

 

"Please provide the follow information for entry to the Masters in
Nutrition and Dietetics (MND) for the years 2024, 2025, 2026."

 

"1. Minimum number of seats available"

There is no minimum number of seats/places set for the Masters in
Nutrition and Dietetics or any other limited entry programme. Limited
entry programmes are those programmes where Council sets a maximum number
of students who may be enrolled in a particular year because of an
insufficiency of specialist accommodation and/or staff to provide adequate
teaching to all students expected to seek a place.

 

Programme limitations for programmes commencing in 2025 and 2026 are as
published on the University's website at
[1]https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en/about-us/a....
28 domestic and 2 international places were available for the Masters in
Nutrition and Dietetics commencing in 2024.

 

"2. Number of applicants"

2024 - 93 (66 domestic, 27 international)

2025 - 116 (74 domestic, 42 international)

2026 - 102 (75 domestic, 27 international)

 

"3. Number of applicants offered an interview"

Numbers for MMI (multiple mini interview) offers to domestic applicants
are provided below (note international students are not given an MMI).

2024 - 48

2025 - 53

2026 - 60

 

"4. Number of seats filled"

Total (domestic and international)

2024 - 32

2025 - 32

2026 - 36

 

The statistics requested in parts 5-9 of your request are only available
for domestic applicants:

2026 - 5.12

 

"6. [Median] GPA for successful applications"

2024 - 6.905

2025 - 7.05

2026 - 6.88

 

"7. Highest GPA for successful applications"

2024 - 8.84

2025 - 8.91

2026 - 8.81

 

"8. Interview GPA cut-off"

"9. Lowest MMI score for successful applicants"

2024 - 111

2025 - 113.82

2026 - 95.34

 

"10. Highest MMI score for unsuccessful applicants"

The information requested for 2024 and 2025 relates to a small number of
applicants and is withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the OIA to protect
their privacy. There were no unsuccessful eligible interviewed applicants
for this programme commencing in 2026 ("unsuccessful" here means an
eligible interviewed applicant who did not receive an offer of place).

 

"11. How many points of the degree are used to calculate GPA for
application."

Up to 240 points

 

You have the right to make a complaint to an Ombudsman if you are
dissatisfied with the University's response.
