University matching

Choosing a university isn't just about rankings. We look at your academic record, budget, intended career, and personal preferences, then match you against New Zealand's 8 public universities and accredited PTEs to build a shortlist that's actually realistic for you, not just aspirational.

What's included

  • A one-on-one assessment of your academic transcripts and English test scores
  • A shortlist of 3–5 universities and programmes matched to your goals and budget
  • A side-by-side comparison of tuition, living costs, and course structure
  • Entry requirement checks against each university's latest admissions criteria
  • Guidance on which programmes carry the best post-study work rights for your field

How it works

1

Tell us your goals

We start with a free consultation covering your academic background, budget, and what you want out of your career after graduating.

2

We build your shortlist

Within 3–5 business days, we return a shortlist of matched programmes with a written comparison of costs, entry requirements, and outcomes.

3

You choose, we apply

Once you've picked a programme, we move straight into the application and offer stage, so there's no gap between matching and applying.

Common questions

How many universities can I apply to at once?

+

There's no fixed limit, but we usually recommend applying to 2–3 universities in parallel to keep your options open without spreading your application documents too thin.

What if I don't meet the entry requirements for my first choice?

+

We check your eligibility against each university's published requirements before you apply, and where you're close but not quite there, we can point you toward a foundation or pathway programme that leads into the same degree.
