Does my current academic status, with my bachelor's degree completing in October, affect my eligibility for admission in New Zealand?

It depends. Completing your bachelor's degree in October can affect your eligibility for New Zealand master's programs, depending on your target intake and each university's application deadlines.

- February intake: Most master's programs start in February. If you can provide your final transcripts or proof of completion before this intake, you are typically eligible.
- July intake: Some universities have a July intake, but deadlines usually fall in April or May. Since your degree completes in October, you may not meet the deadline for the next July intake.

Eligibility can vary by university and program.
