Preparation and foundation programmes

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. 
  • New Start 
    Part-time university preparation courses.
  • Tertiary Foundation Certificate (TFC) 
    This full-time, one-year programme covers subjects from Arts, Science, Creative Arts and Industries, and Business and prepares students for University study. It is primarily targeted at those that have not met the entry requirements for University Entrance or subject requirements.
