STAR at UC
Extension and transition programme for secondary school students
The University of Canterbury is pleased to be offering a comprehensive programme of courses for secondary school students in 2012. These courses are designed to provide a challenging and stimulating opportunity for secondary school students primarily in Years 12 and 13.
While it is expected that most students will be funded through Ministry of Education STAR funding, these courses are open to all secondary students, including those at independent schools and international students, provided schools meet the course costs through other means.
Students put forward by their school may normally enrol in a maximum of 30 points in any one year. With the exception of language courses, STAR enrolment is limited to 100-level courses.
If a student wishes to enrol in more than 30 points in any one year or they wish to enrol in a 200-level or 300-level non-language course they may do so by applying for Special Admission. Such applications will require the support of the student’s school.
Cost
Refer to the brochure for costs (these differ from the fees paid by university students).
