Do my marks and IELTS score meet the entry requirements for a BSc nursing degree in New Zealand?

Where should I begin if I want to study in New Zealand, and what steps will I follow?
→To study in New Zealand, you choose your course, plan your budget, apply to an institution, apply for a student visa through Immigration New Zealand and then prepare to travel. Each step has its own documents, so check official pages for requirements.
Where can I check the status of my New Zealand scholarship application?
→To check your New Zealand scholarship status, sign in to the official scholarship or university portal with your registered email ID, open your application dashboard, and check your registered email for updates. The process depends on the provider, so follow their instructions.
Is it possible for me to study more than one course in New Zealand on a single student visa?
→Yes, New Zealand allows more than one course on a single student visa. A single visa can typically cover up to three back-to-back courses, as long as all study together stays within five years. Check official immigration rules for your case.
Can I reapply right away after my New Zealand student visa was rejected, and which steps should I follow?

Which New Zealand universities can I apply to for the MBChB, the MBBS equivalent?
→Only the University of Auckland and the University of Otago offer the MBChB, the MBBS equivalent, in New Zealand. Other universities contribute through health sciences and allied medical fields rather than the medical degree itself, so check each official admissions page.
Which country will cost me more as a student in 2026, New Zealand or Ireland?
