how about a levels? is it just as accepted as SAM?

SAM is a good choice as NZ and Aussie does accept each others qualifications so SAM is mostly accepted in NZ.A-Levels is also a very good choice.Depending on what your planning to study A-Levels may be the better choice to gain admission =)

you will be accepted for any course as long as you meet the required marks respectively, regardless of Alevels or SAM

SAM would be cheaper and faster to complete.

Regardless which qualification you took as long as you meet the entry requirements set by the university then it's ok.Most if not all NZ unis accept A-Levels and Australian year 12 programs like SAM,Ausmat etc.
SAM has a better timing than A-Levels to apply for February intake though.Are you a 2009 spm leaver?If so I think you just missed the intake dates of SAM as most last intake for Australian Year 12 has started though they might accept you if you register immediately ^^"
Or you can wait for A-Levels June intake where you can finish by the end of next year and can make it for Uni in the first semester 2012 ^^"

Only if you meet their prerequisite for bachelor of science. So try email them about it and explain your situation

hello, is anyone doing masters of psychology in Otago?

i just wanna know approximately how much is the living expenses per year excluding the tuition/course fees ..

is hall of residence provided in this uni and would it be charged?

and are the students allowed to work (part time) ?

thanks

Of course halls of residence are charged for. Nothing is free in this world.

Living expenses - budget around 12k per year. Halls of residence (called colleges in Otago) are generally more expensive than renting your own flat. All colleges except one (Toroa) are fully catered.

20 hours work a week on a student visa.

I think you can have a look at this link for living expenses

Hey,anyone doing pharmacy course in university of otago?

Imagine the 7.1 magnitude hitting during rush hour, when most people are on the roads moving from one place to another. Or at the peak of the work day, where electricity loads and gas usage are that their peak. The vast majority of people were all in bed, and thus most of the building collapses in the CBD where the buildings are really old didn't affect much. Imagine if it was working hours.

It is a testimony to the building standards and enforcement of building codes in New Zealand that there was not a death from the earthquake. Port-au-prince was hit with a smaller earthquake and you can see the misery and damage it has caused.

For a country not used to earthquakes, their preparedness is almost as good as Japan, where earthquakes are part of life.

And that is what separates the developed world from the developing.
