Summer School
The University offers a wide selection of undergraduate, postgraduate and preparatory courses in a range of subjects over summer (November-February). If you’re looking at a new career direction, Summer School at UC is a great way to fast track you study. It’s also a fantastic opportunity to shorten the duration of your degree, spread your workload or improve your academic skills. Talk to us today.

UC is providing study grants of up to $7,500 per person to subsidise tuition fees for those who have been impacted by COVID-19. Applicants must have been in continuing employment and their employment has been terminated, suspended or their hours have been severely reduced (40% or more) due to COVID-19. Applicants must be nominated by their employer (self–employed are entitled too) and be eligible to enter a qualification of the University of Canterbury. See entry criteria and study options.
