The PGCertIT is a Level 8, 60 credit programme which enables those who have completed a computing bachelor degree, or similar, to achieve a postgraduate level qualification in the information technology area.The programme can be completed in six months full-time or up to two years part-time, depending on your previous study and experience and specific course preferences. It can act as an entry point into the masters degree if you do not initially meet the entry requirement and need to demonstrate your ability to study at postgraduate level. It also provides an exit qualification if you have enrolled in the masters degree and, for some reason, are unable to complete the degree.
The academic entry requirement for the PGCertIT is one of the following:
A NZQF-listed undergraduate degree (or equivalent) in Information Technology, Computing or similar; or
An undergraduate degree in a related field with a minimum of the equivalent to a B average (as per the EIT  Te Pūkenga-specified 11-point achievement-based grading system), subject to assessment by the Programme Coordinator; or
At the discretion of EIT  Te Pūkenga, where an applicant’s situation is compelling but not covered by the requirements listed above.
