Offered in partnership between WITT and Massey University, the Certificate of University Preparation is a qualification that prepares and qualifies students for undergraduate study at University or other tertiary providers. Successful completion of the Certificate will provide an entry level qualification and you will be able to enrol in a degree qualification in the next available semester.
To complete the certificate, students must pass a minimum of four papers. There are two compulsory papers: Communication Skills and Study Skills. Students can then choose two elective papers from Mathematics, Science, Maori Culture, Management, Economics, Humanities and Social Sciences.
