Yes, you can apply for a Master's in IT or Cyber Security in New Zealand.

Your bachelor's in Information Technology (GPA 7.98) and PTE score of 64 may meet the general academic requirements for many universities. Most programs require:
- Relevant bachelor's degree (with good grades)
- English proficiency: typically IELTS 6.5 overall (no band below 6.0), or equivalent PTE/TOEFL scores

Your PTE score of 64 is close, but some universities may require a slightly higher score. Work experience can strengthen your application, but more experience may be beneficial.

Entry requirements and accepted test scores are subject to change. If you need help determining your eligibility for specific universities, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
