Bachelor of Computing Systems

The Bachelor of Computing Systems is a Level 7, 360-credit (3.0 EFTS) degree taken over three years full-time at Unitec's Mt Albert campus in Auckland, with part-time options available. It covers data communications, networking, web and software development, business intelligence, systems analysis and cybersecurity, taught in a modern, well-resourced computing facility. Four specialisation pathways are offered: computer networks and cloud computing, software development, business intelligence, and cybersecurity. The degree culminates in an industry-based capstone project. What the fee covers: the international student rate — approximate fees for 120 credits, which is one full-time year — including GST. Fee year: 2026. English requirement as published: IELTS Academic 6.0 with no band below 5.5, or equivalent. Before you budget: the page's International students block states '$26,415 (NZD) (approximate fees for 120 credits)'. The separate domestic figure on the same page is $7,600, so check you are reading the international line — $26,415 is the number that applies to you. On the year: the page attaches no academic year to the fee. It is recorded as 2026 because the same page shows 2026 semester dates (23 February to 28 June and 20 July to 22 November 2026) and a 2026 study grant, but Unitec has not labelled it, so confirm with the institution before you commit. At roughly NZ$26,415 a year this is the cheapest degree listed here — about NZ$79,000 in tuition over three years — but that is still well beyond a INR 25 lakh total budget once living costs are added. The figure includes GST but excludes the Compulsory Student Services Fee levy, which is charged separately. Unitec advertises an International Study Grant 2026 worth up to NZ$2,000 subject to terms, and the fee shown is before any grant. The entry requirements printed on the page are the domestic NCEA ones, so confirm international equivalencies with Unitec.
