From Creative Practice to Computing, Animal Care to Engineering, our range of programmes is bound to have something that’s right for you.Think study is too expensive?

From the new Fees-Free Tertiary Study Policy, to loans and allowances, and scholarships and grants; there’s never been a better time to start your study journey.

Wanting to head back to study after some time off, but feeling scared and unsure of where to start? Not to worry, we’ve got your back! We can help you return to study by offering a selection of Bridging Education courses that are specially tailored to help you progress to the next level.Want to fast-track your study?
If you’re already working in your chosen industry, have the skills and knowledge you need for that industry, or have previously studied in a similar field, then you may qualify to get credits towards a programme you’d like to study at Unitec. You’ll need to apply for an Assessment of Prior Learning (APL) to determine your eligibility for credit recognition (cross-credits), which means you could reduce the time it takes to complete your programme of study.
