when is the mmi typically taken in nz

In New Zealand, the MMI for medical entry is typically held around September for the University of Auckland, with official dates sometimes landing in early September for the next admissions cycle.

What that means

  • The University of Auckland’s 2027-entry MMI date is listed as 8 September 2026.
  • A medical admissions guide also says Auckland interviews typically happen in early-mid September.
  • If you’re asking more generally, the MMI season in NZ is usually late winter to early spring , not mid-year.

Practical takeaway

If you’re preparing for a New Zealand med application, it’s smart to be interview-ready by August , since the MMI can come up quickly once shortlist results are out.
