    Default Can i claim points for 2 education qualifications?

    Dear all,

    I'm Bryan from Malaysia and i'm in the midst of filling up my EOI.
    I have a Bachelor's Degree and a Diploma.
    I was wondering if i could claim points for both or i can only claim points for the one with the highest points,
    which is my Bachelor's Degree?

    I will also be able to claim additional 20 points for my partner's Bachelor's Degree correct?

    Thank you =)

    For yourself, you can only claim for the highest level qualification.

    For your partner, you can claim the points, as long as the degree is on the exempt list, or you get it assessed, and as long as your partner can show proof of knowledge of English (IELTS at an average of 6.5, or evidence to show the qualification was taught entirely in English, and/or that work is/has been in an English-speaking environment).

    Hi JandM,

    Thank you so much for clarifying the matter to me.
    I shall proceed to claim points for my partner's Bachelor's degree as well.

    Thanks again =)

    You can claim only 1 eduction level for yourself and 1 for your spouse.


    Note: Points for recognised qualifications are not cumulative. A principal applicant may qualify for only 40, 50, or 60 points. For example, if an applicant has two level nine qualifications on the NZQF they may still only qualify for 60 points.
