What are the intake months for PG/PGD courses and bachelor degree courses for my son in New Zealand?
03 Aug 2026 · Answered by Saru Sharma · 1 min read
The main intake months for both bachelor's and postgraduate (PG/PGD) courses in New Zealand are:
- February Intake: The primary and largest intake, starting in late February or early March, with the widest range of programs and scholarships.
- July Intake: A mid-year option beginning in July or early August; fewer programs are available than in February, but options exist for both bachelor's and postgraduate courses.
- November Intake: Offered by some institutions, mainly for short-term or specific postgraduate diploma courses; less common for full bachelor's or master's degrees.
February intake is usually the best for the most choices and scholarships.
