What will I learn?

The Diploma in Advancing University Studies (DipAdvUniStud) offers a pre-master’s pathway into UC’s master’s degree programmes. You can complete advanced courses in a wide range of subjects in Arts, Business, Engineering, Health, Education, and Science, and obtain the necessary skills to go onto postgraduate studies at UC. This programme is offered to domestic students (New Zealand or Australian citizens) wanting to transition to higher-level study that do not meet current entry requirements. See the Pre-Master’s One Semester programme for more details about the international student pathway.
