NZIBO registration now open!

Registration for the 2025/2026 NZIBO programme is now open at https://nzibo.org/registration/

All students in NZ secondary schools can register for the entrance exam and if selected, take part in the NZIBO tutorial programme which will support their NCEA learning and love of Biology. Only NZ citizens and permanent resident visa holders may be considered for selection for the NZIBO training and selection camp and the team.

Registration closes on August 6th and NO LATE registrations can be accepted. The two hour multi-choice online exam is to be sat at the student's school under exam conditions on Wednesday 13th of August. The exam is designed to test students thinking while also allowing them to learn about Biology.

Tauira who have previously been in the NZIBO tutorial programme have auto-entry but must re-register by the 6th of August.

Registration is FREE for students from schools that have not previously participated in NZIBO and for Māori and Pasifika tauira in certain programmes - see registration form.

If you have any questions please get in touch. We are here to help.

Ngā mihi nui for all the support from the Biology teaching community for NZIBO.

P.S. The 2025 NZIBO team is currently in the Phillipines for the International Biology Olympiad competition which runs from 20th - 27th of July.
