• I (think I) have now made all the changes suggested by Fay and Linda on 22/1/16. 
• Added a duration/intensity (that really come in to its own for part-time only qualifications and PG (where there is a specified maximum duration as well as the standard full-time minimum)
• Revised the entry requirements.
• Fine-tuned the first degree requirement.

Duration/intensity

The BAS represents three years of full-time study and may also be studied part-time.

Entry Requirements

To be accepted into the BAS you need to:

• achieved University Entrance for at least one of the admission types; and
• achieved an NCEA Guaranteed Entry Score (GES) of 180 points. Further information on the GES is available in the Admissions section.

Supplementary information

SARC 122 may be replaced by an elective course by students who:

• Have at least 14 NCEA Level 3 credits in each of two of Calculus, Physics, and Statistics; or
• Plan to study Landscape Architecture or Architecture History and Theory. Students in this category are still recommended to complete SARC 122 to keep their second year options open.

SARC 111 and SARC 161 may be replaced by DSDN 101 and DSDN 111 by students who plan to study Interior Architecture.
