Abdul Waheed

Dear All,

I am currently working as an IT professional in UK. I am on a UK work permit. I am planning to immigrate to New Zealand . But I am slightly worried about the points I will achieve for my qualification. Below are the qualification details.

2 years Bachelors degree from Pakistan.
2 years Masters degree from Pakistan.
MSc degree from University of Manchester, UK

Now my degree my Manchester Uni is present on the list of recognized qualifications. But my previous degrees are from Pakistan.so I dont know how much points i will achieve 50 or 55. also is it mandatory that I should get my qualifications assessed from NZQA.As I have a degree from Manchester Uni do I have to get assessment from NZQA .

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,

Abdul Waheed

Have you had a look at the list of recognised qualifications Abdul? This is the link to the page on the NZIS website

If your qualifications are listed then they won't need to be assessed by NZQA unless otherwise specified.

Hope that helps...

If in doubt, best get them assessed anyway, (IMHO). Yes it will cost but at least then it removes the doubts you have. Mine were from the Open University and even though it was on the list, the actual course was not.

You will definitely have to have your Pak quals assessed so you might as well bundle everything in together in the app - same fee. We found that supplying loads of supporting info really helps.
