Additional Application Information
Submit the Frontiers Abroad Application by October 15. Application forms (PDF) can be downloaded by following the Apply Now link.

1. Note, we suggest submitting your application as soon as possible. If accepted, this will allow you more time to organize your visa and travel arrangements, and campus housing in New Zealand. Housing in Auckland is on a first come first serve basis - and good student housing goes fast!

2. You will be notified by early November (or sooner, depending on when you submit your application) with the result of your application. If accepted, you will receive an information packet including an official Offer of Place from the University of Auckland or University of Canterbury and a Course Selection Form to complete and return to Frontiers Abroad, a safety and security plan to sign and return to Frontiers Abroad, and more information on campus living, the immigration process, and programme payment options.

Note, your Course Selection Form is only the beginning of the enrolment process. Final enrolment will take place when you arrive in New Zealand and at that time you may change the courses you selected originally, provided you have approval from your home university.

3. Tuition: Your Tuition of $15,600 is due by December 1st. Upon acceptance you will receive instructions on payment options.

4. With your Offer of Place you may submit your student visa application to New Zealand Immigration (see Programme Information page for visa application form and more information).
