The college has New Zealand, China and Korea Committee which will make the decision if the applicant can be
issued the admission. If you would like to study in New Zealand Food Safety College and receive a diploma, you
have to meet basic entry requirements. The basic requirements may be met by completing a specified duration of
acceptable tertiary study from a recognized tertiary institution. If you have started or completed tertiary study
overseas you must have your overseas qualification. The qualification could be one year’s bachelor degree level
study at a recognized institution or university with good passing grades or completion of a two-year
diploma from a recognized institution or university with good passing grades. In addition, if English is not your first language,
you need to be required to meet the requirement of English language (IELTS with overall score of 6.0 and all
