About Lincoln University
Lincoln University is a Public university in New Zealand, ranked #419 in the QS World University Rankings 2027. We confirm the exact fees, intakes and entry requirements for your profile — free.
Indicative tuition: NZD35,000–NZD42,000 / year · Scholarships can reduce this — we confirm what you qualify for, free.
Entry requirements
Typically for New Zealand universities in this band, a recognised bachelor's degree in a related subject with a sound average — usually a B average, roughly 55-60% upwards in Indian marks, and higher for competitive fields — plus IELTS 6.5 overall with no band below 6.0, which is the standard postgraduate floor right across the country; entry norms differ little between bands here. A three-year Indian bachelor's is often accepted, but many master's programmes expect a four-year degree or an honours year, and a three-year graduate is commonly routed through a graduate or postgraduate diploma first. General guidance for the destination rather than this university's own published rule — your Vibedu counsellor confirms the exact requirement for your programme, free.
Indicative for international postgraduate applicants — your counsellor confirms the exact cut-offs and English scores for your chosen programme, free.

Indicative estimate (annual tuition + living, NZ$). Your counsellor confirms exact fees, living costs and the scholarships that reduce this — free. Living costs are an indicative national range in NZ$, not this university's own figure. Tuition varies by course here, so we'd rather confirm your exact fee than print an average — ask us and it's free.
Exchange rates as of 18 Aug 2026 (32 days ago) — European Central Bank reference rates (AED via open.er-api.com), mid-market. The INR figure is converted from NZ$ at that rate. Your bank's remittance rate will be worse than mid-market, and currencies move a percent or two a month, so use these for planning rather than as the amount you will actually pay.
