The College may be satisfied that an applicant meets English language standards with the following:
- If English is the applicant’s first language, or;
- If the applicant has a New Zealand university entrance qualification, or;
- If the applicant has an overseas university entrance qualification from a country where the main language is English and the main language of instruction and assessment for the qualification is English, or;
- If the applicant is 20 years or older, and is a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident;
- The applicant provides a valid IELTS certificate.
The standard of English Language competence that the College requires is, or is equivalent to, an academic IELTS overall score of 7.0, with no individual language skill under 6.5.
An IELTS certificate is normally valid for two years.
In the case of a first time student, if in the opinion of the Admissions Committee an applicant requires an IELTS to be considered for enrolment, the applicant must provide a valid IELTS certificate irrespective of whether they meet any of the above standards.
If, in the opinion of the Academic Board, a student fails courses due to their English language skills, the Dean of Chiropractic reserves the right to request the student (both domestic and international) to enrol in an IELTS course and attain a current and valid IELTS certificate. This applies even if a student has previously submitted an IELTS certificate.
The New Zealand Chiropractic Board requires registered chiropractors to have an IELTS overall score of 7.5, with no individual score under 7.0. It is expected that students would increase their English language skills through the programme to be able to meet the registration requirements. For more information contact the Registrar at the New Zealand Chiropractic Board.
What are the entry requirements?
You do not need an undergraduate degree to study with us, but you do need to complete specific prerequisite courses. These include five basic health science courses at an undergraduate level and three elective courses.
If you have not completed university level study in basic sciences, it is important you first apply to the College for guidance and approval of your prerequisite courses.
If you have completed tertiary study in the science field, we will assess whether you have completed the prerequisite study for entry to the College and help you find appropriate courses if you need further study.
More information about prerequisite requirements, including courses, can be found in the entry requirements section.
How do I apply?
We have one intake per year in late January. Applications are accepted throughout the year and places are limited so we recommend applying early.
Applicants must submit a completed Application Form. As part of the application process, applicants are required to write an essay, be available for an interview and complete a critical thinking assessment.
More information about the application process, including application requirements and current tuition fees, can be found in the apply section. For any questions, please contact our Admissions Team.
How and where can I register as a chiropractor?
Our College graduates are in high demand and can be found practicing in many countries around the world.
Upon graduation you will be licensed to practice in New Zealand and Australia and you are eligible to take board exams to become registered in Canada, the UK and many states in the U.S. Some Scandinavian and European countries may require you to work with a principal chiropractor for the first year.
Graduates are advised to research the requirements necessary to apply for registration with Chiropractic Registration Boards in the countries and states they consider other than New Zealand. In some cases additional courses or modules might be required for registration, and graduates will have to source and plan how to acquire those additional credits needed.
