New Zealand – Postgraduate studies at the University of Auckland

due to an agreement between germany and newzealand german students who are coming as study abroad student for one semester can study for local fees ( ca. 2400NZ$), BUT ONLY if they are enrolled as fulltime student into a postgraduate programme. (postgraduate means that you have already studied at least 6 semesters and therefore got your degree.)we have initially been offered to study as fulltime student on undergraduate level.(undergraduate means that you are in your first three years of studies..)an undergraduate progrqamme costs much more (about 8500NZ$), because they charge international fees..to be enrolled as postgraduate students we therefore ran round the university faculties and finally found three professors that allowed us to participate in their postgraduate lectures. for sure we had to provide the required prerequisites – and so we got signed for postgraduate studies!
