International Pathways

UC has partnerships with a number of tertiary institutions around the world to provide pathways for students to study with us.

Start student life in your home country, or somewhere else, with one of our partner institutions, and transfer to UC to complete your internationally recognised degree. With an international pathway programme, you can earn credits towards or entry into UC programmes.

Foundation Pathway

Foundation pathways are designed specifically for international students in preparation for the academic demands and English skills required to progress to a New Zealand learning environment

International Articulation Pathway

UC has a number of pathways that allow students from international institutions and programmes to transfer to UC with advanced standing credits

Offshore Study Centre

Offshore Study Centres provide students with the option to study online classes delivered by UC’s world-leading academics and on-campus learning at one of our partner universities overseas

Everyone is super helpful and friendly at UC – there’s no need to be shy. Fitting in is not as hard as you think.
