In determining eligibility for entry, BTI uses a system of multiple entry requirement criteria, which include:
You can check the entry criteria for each programme below:
Applicants should have empathy with the Christian ethos of BTI, which aims to help students develop a Christian perspective on life and their field of work. Students should have qualities such as personal integrity, diligence and teachability, together with those outlined in the character references. Applicants will be required to grant permission to the Ministry of Justice to release any information concerning criminal convictions.
If you are planning on paying your tuition fees via Student Loan please make an application with Studylink as soon as possible. You can start an application with Studylink before completing your BTI application.
Your programme will have specific lists of required documentation. You will see what is required when you work through your online application.

You may bring certain experience and/or qualifications that might parallel parts of the programme in which you are enrolling. In these circumstances you can seek the credit towards (and thus exemption from) those aspects of the programme. This opportunity is in keeping with BTI’s Credit Recognition and Transfer Policy (CRT).
For more information including the requirements and process for CRT please contact the Applications Administrator applications@bti.ac.nz.
Academic staff will interview all applicants eligible for entry into a programme. Interviews can be carried out either by Zoom or onsite and are intended to supplement evidence of character, academic achievement and motivation. BTI may require an in person interview for some applicants irrespective of where they live. The outcome of the interview, including an offer of a studentship place if successful, will be advised as soon as possible after the interview.
