Hi Jodie,

Well it really depends on which of the statements on the List of Recognised Qualifications you fall into:-

[quote:d88498b2bf]
Bachelors degrees requiring 3 or more years of full time study from the following institutions are assessed as occupying Level 7 of the Register and will therefore qualify for 50 points.

Masters degrees (except Honorary degrees from the University of Cambridge, the University of Oxford and Masters degrees which are a first degree from Scottish institutions) and PhDs from the following institutions are assessed as occupying Level 9 or 10 of the Register and will therefore qualify for 55 points, provided the holder of the qualification also obtained their undergraduate (Bachelors) degree from an institution included on the List of Recognised Qualifications.

If the Masters degree is not preceded by an undergraduate degree from an institution included on the List of Recognised Qualifications, it is assessed as occupying Level 7 of the Register and will therefore qualify for 50 points.

Honours degrees from the following institutions are assessed as occupying Level 7 of the Register and will therefore qualify for 50 points.

Graduate and post-graduate diplomas require a NZQA assessment for points allocation.

If you are covered by the [b:d88498b2bf]?Graduate and post-graduate diplomas require a NZQA assessment for points allocation.?[/b:d88498b2bf] Statement then a full NZQA assessment will be required for submitting you actually application for Permanent Residence to the NZIS. :icon_sad:
