University of Auckland Foundation Year
The previously issued Pathway Student Visa mentions the Foundation course, because of the different academic systems, domestic high school graduates are usually not able to directly enter New Zealand universities unless they have a satisfactory college entrance examination score and language score. Most students will need to pass a pre-university course in New Zealand to meet the requirements for undergraduate study.
Today, we would like to introduce you to the University of Auckland International College (UP Education Group), a preparatory school in New Zealand, to offer the University of Austria Foundation Program.
If you are studying high school in China and plan to come to New Zealand to study at university, you can apply directly for the Foundation + University course without completing the entire domestic high school study.
