In te reo Māori, takatū means "to prepare" and that's exactly what this course does - prepare you for study at Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury.
Takatū is an online course for anyone new to UC or considering enroling.
You will be introduced to our processes, expectations, and support services that will help you get off to a great start before beginning study.
For those considering enroling, the Path to UC module is a great place to start!
What does it involve?
Takatū consists of five online modules shaped by student feedback, exploring their first-year experiences, the advice they wish they'd had, and what they believe new students need to know. The modules cover:
- The student journey leading up to the first semester at UC.
- UC systems, essential terminology, and academic expectations.
- Our student support services and resources.
- Tips for maintaining wellbeing, making connections, and managing your time at UC.
- UC's campus, community, and a bit of our history.
