Starting your study journey

Choose from arts, business and economics, creative arts and industries, education and social work, engineering, law, medical and health sciences, and science with more than 30 undergraduate programmes 

We are committed to helping you gain a university education. There are different ways you can gain admission, including what we call targeted admission schemes. Our goal is to support you and provide the right environment so you can succeed in your studies.

Check out our step-by-step guide to:

• Application and admissions 
• Enrolment  

We also have specific options for Pacific students including:

• The Undergraduate Targeted Admission Scheme (UTAS). 
• For medical and health sciences students, we have the Māori and Pacific Admission Scheme (MAPAS). 
• For medical and health sciences students - Hikitia te ora - Certificate in Health Sciences (CertHSc)
  The CertHSc prepares people of Māori and Pacific whakapapa/ancestry for tertiary study in the health professions and is designed to bridge the gap between secondary school studies and university.
  
• For engineering students, we have the Māori and Pasifika Targeted Entry Scheme (MAPTES). 

If you aren't offered a place at the University, you can still study towards your desired programme.

• UniBound 
  This is a free Academic Enrichment Programme aimed to help school leavers transition into University of Auckland programmes. UniBound is split into two parts, UniBound Summer and UniBound Support for TFC.

• Tertiary Foundation Certificate (TFC)
