School of Teacher Education

ECE teachers inspire imaginations, while guiding, playing and laughing with kids in a job in which no two days ever the same.

Primary teachers introduce children to learning - a rewarding and satisfying career in which you can make a real difference.

Secondary teachers specialise in subjects they are passionate about, and inspire their students to make a positive difference.

Our courses are ideal for teachers who want to upgrade their qualifications. They are offered on campus or by distance study.

UC offers a pathway for graduates of Sport Coaching and Health Sciences qualifications to become secondary school PE teachers.

This suite of courses will develop Māori language, pedagogy and cultural knowledge.

TeachNZ Scholarships cover the cost of your course fees and pay you an allowance.
