Foundation or Pathway courses in New Zealand

Programmes to gain entry in your desired bachelor’s degree

To make it simpler for international students to enroll in a program of their choice, universities have created several foundation or route programs. These are for students who cannot fulfill certain entry requirements for a course, are unclear of which program to choose, or have a gap year in between their studies

Why opt for pathway programs in New Zealand

Universities in New Zealand provide route programs that are especially created for students to help them be ready for college while simultaneously enhancing their skills in:

• Critical and independent thinking

• Computer use and research

• Required subject knowledge includes expertise in chemistry, computer science, English, and a variety of other fields.

Eligibility criteria 

If a student satisfies the following requirements, these programs assist them in obtaining guaranteed admission to an institution’s undergraduate program:

• the minimal standard deviation necessary for your chosen foundation program

• The institution’s minimum IELTS score (which changes depending on the programme)

• Any additional criteria for admittance, such as portfolios, auditions, or interviews

Duration and intakes

Program offers speedy completion, 6-12 months structure, based on academic background, and flexible completion options. Our foreign education consultants are available to help you if you’re unsure which option is ideal for you.

There are four start dates each year for these foundational and gateway courses. The entrance period for the fast-track option begins in late April and early October, although the conventional dates and extended entries typically begin in late January and mid-July. Students who might benefit from an extra six months of study can enroll in post-foundation programs.
