University Entrance (UE) minimum requirements are:
Pass NCEA Level 3 = 60 credits at Level 3 and 20 credits at Level 2 = 80 credits
This is made up by:
14 credits in each of three subjects from the list of university-approved subjects (see below) = 42 credits
18 further credits from all subjects, these can be either achievement or unit standards.
UE Numeracy = 10 credits at Level 1 or higher from specified achievement standards or the 3 specific
numeracy unit standards
UE Literacy = 10 credits (5 in reading and 5 in writing) from specified achievement standards at Level 2
and higher; or specified Level 2 standards in Te Reo Māori
Most Universities ask for higher entry requirements than above, please see their websites or ask at the
Careers Centre.
University of Auckland Literacy Requirement: From 2016 the University of Auckland only will introduce a new
entrance requirement for domestic students. For those applying on the basis of NCEA results, the applicant

WHAT’S NEW
Vocational Pathways:
Vocational pathways is a tool that helps you to see how your strengths, interests and achievements relate to
future study options and job opportunities.
The pathways provide clear study options that are valued by employers and show you what employers expect to
see you achieve in your learning.
The pathways cover six broad industry sectors:
• Manufacturing and technology
• Construction and infrastructure
• Primary industries
• Social and community services
• Services industries
• Creative industries
Why have they been introduced?
Vocational pathways provide more options for students to complete NCEA Level 2. By having more choices,
ways and places to achieve NCEA Level 2 you will have more pathways into further learning and work.
When you complete a vocational pathway you will receive a Vocational Pathways Award on top of receiving
NCEA Level 2. This award is a way of showing employers that you have the knowledge and skills they are looking
for.
What happens if I’m interested in more than one pathway?
All of the pathways identify skills that are valued by employers across all sectors. Maths and English skills are
especially important across all pathways, so as long as you are achieving the required literacy and numeracy
credits you are still able to change direction in your learning.
What NCEA credits do I need to get to achieve a Vocational Pathway Award?
In order to earn a Vocational Pathway Award you need to have:
• NCEA Level 2, including meeting NCEA Level 1 literacy and numeracy requirements
• 60 recommended assessment standards (including 20 sector-related standards from the same sector
pathway).

• 14 credits or more at Merit or Excellence, where
• at least 3 of these credits are from externally assessed standards and 3 credits
from internally assessed standards.
Course Entry It is expected that all students select courses they are interested in and that they give
Requirements careful consideration to the subjects required for their future career pathways, as well
as being realistic about their chance of succeeding. Students who are unsure about
subject choices should visit the Career Centre to discuss the options available.
Credit Credits are awarded for each standard a student achieves - refer to page 6 regarding
the number of credits needed to pass NCEA Level 1, 2 and 3.
External assessment Assessment for externally assessed standards are set and marked by NZQA at the end
of the year.
Further tertiary study Any study undertaken beyond school at university, polytechnic or private training
provider.
Gateway A programme for Year 12 and 13 students wanting to investigate an industry or
workplace as well as gaining some credits. Work experience is also available to
students. Visit the Careers Centre to find out more.
Internal assessment Internally assessed standards are set and marked by teachers in schools or consented
providers throughout the year.
Literacy and Numeracy These are required to gain NCEA Level 1 and 2 and for university entrance (see page
Credits 6). They can be gained in subjects other than English and Mathematics.
NZQA The New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) is the definitive source for
accurate and current information on quality assured qualifications in New Zealand.
Standard Standards are the skills or knowledge students are expected to achieve or know in a

Achievement Standards assess performance against the NZ Curriculum. They can be

www.youthguarantee.net.nz. The profile builder part of the website allows students
to load the credits that they are doing and the website will show them the vocational
pathway that best suits them.9
