Next steps as a Young Scholar

To get started, you can follow our easy step-by-step guide at How to enrol in a course.

We recommend that you try to enrol as soon as possible after receiving your full offer to avoid disappointment - popular classes can fill up quickly! 

Note that some courses may require approval before you can enrol, this is called an enrolment concession. For more information on this, please see Enrolment concessions.  

Please note that the enrolment system will show an automatic alert asking you to complete a Diagnostic English Language Needs Assessment (DELNA).

DELNA is not applicable to you if you are part of the Young Scholars Programme, you can ignore this message. Having the alert shown in the system will not prevent you from enrolling.  

If you need help with your enrolment, please email your Faculty Academic Coordinator. 

Studying at the University of Auckland means that you will need to organise payment for the courses you enrol in.  

These are called tuition fees. They are made up of your: 

• Course fees
• Student Servces fees

For more information, please see Tuition fees.

Note: If your course is being paid for by your school or STAR funding - select 'Send invoice to Sponsor' and enter a contact email address. 

Scholarships

George Turner Wilson Music Trust Scholarship - Junior Award 

An award to assist Year 13 students enrolled in the School of Music with expenses associated with their enrolment. 

Read more at the George Turner Wilson Music Trust Scholarship - Junior Award page. 

Courses start at the beginning of March and wrap up by the end of June (with final exams being held toward the end of June). There are no classes held during the school holidays. 

While we aim to schedule some classes outside of normal school hours for participants in the Young Scholars Programme, we cannot guarantee that your preferred course has this option. You may need to take time off from school which should be discussed with your Year 13 Dean or Principal prior to applying.. The format of a typical session will be a lecture followed by a tutorial. More information on lectures and tutorials can be found on our FAQs page.  

On top of attending class, we recommend budgeting additional study time for your course(s) every week. The recommended time investment will vary depending on the course you choose. Study time will typically be spent viewing extra recordings, completing course readings, completing assignments, and preparing for tests and final exams. 

Apply for our Kōkiri Raumati | Summer programmes

Make the transition to university with confidence. Beginning in January every year, these programmes are a great way to prepare for your first semester at university.  

Apply for an undergraduate degree

After completing your course via the Young Scholars Programme, you will be able to apply for an undergraduate degree. The process to apply is similar to what you did for YSP. For more information, please see How to apply. 

Please note that when applying for an undergraduate degree programme, your highest qualification is still your secondary education, even though you completed a university subject.  

It is important that you choose 'secondary' during the application process, so that our system can pick you up as a school leaver and you can be considered for a Fast Track offer. 

Advanced programmes you may wish to join during your undergraduate studies
