Summary

EPPS is suitable if you have met the academic requirements for postgraduate study at the University of Auckland, but have narrowly missed the English language requirements. This programme ensures you gain the English proficiency and academic literacy needed for postgraduate and doctoral courses. Successfully completing the EPPS programme with the required grade for your academic study programme will meet the English language requirements for entry to the University of Auckland. To be eligible for EPPS, students must: hold a conditional offer of place from the University of Auckland; meet the following EPPS English language entry requirements: IELTS: an academic IELTS test result that is 0.5 away from the IELTS band score required for entry to the University of Auckland. A postgraduate course requiring 6.5 would need no less than 6.0 overall, 6.0 in the Writing band, and no less than 5.5 in the other bands (unless stated otherwise by the University).
