2027 early-bird questions
When does the early-bird close?
Registrations received by 11:59pm AEDT on 31 December 2026 qualify for AMET’s early-bird benefits.
Does registering commit me to anything?
No. Registering secures your early-bird benefits and connects you with an AMET counsellor. You decide whether to apply.
What is a pathway program?
A pathway program prepares you academically and in English for a university degree. When you pass at the required level, you progress to your chosen degree.
Which 2027 intake should I choose?
Programs start several times a year. Register at least 3–4 months before your preferred start so there is time for your offer and student visa.
Can I work while I study?
Work rights depend on your course and visa. Many international students in eligible courses can work up to 25 hours a week during study and full-time in scheduled holidays.
Can I stay and work after graduating?
Graduates of a bachelor’s degree or higher can apply for a New Zealand Post Study Work Visa of up to three years, depending on the qualification and other conditions.
