Foundation Studies
Foundation programmes are ideal for people who don’t meet the entry requirements for a specific course they want to study, are unsure of what programme to study, or have been out of study for a long time. Students will graduate ready to jump straight into their next course, or with the confidence to use the skills they already have.
Pathway options
We have a variety of pathway options, from general academic study skills to specific industry options to elevate your learning and opportunities. Focused pathways include areas such as:
- Media arts
- Health and wellbeing
- Business administration
- Computing and information technology
- Police, armed forces, and community services
"I always loved the idea of being a midwife but never thought it was achievable because I didn’t like school and left when I was 15. I didn’t have my NCEA Level 2 to get in, so I completed the Te Ara Pūtake course. I did this over the summer and then went straight into the Bachelor of Midwifery degree."
