The New Zealand Qualifications Framework (NZQF) is divided into 10 levels, covers a range of qualifications, and is based on how complex the learning is.

When you study at tertiary level, you'll generally study towards a Level 4 of higher qualification. That's why, for most programmes, you need to have finished secondary school or have a specific level of NCEA. The NZQF indicates the level of knowledge and skills that you’ll gain when you graduate, as well as what further education and employment opportunities the qualification could lead to. We have over 100 programmes to choose from - start at the level that suits your experience and qualifications, and then pathway to higher level programmes.

POSTGRADUATE

Level 8–10

Doctorate, Master's, Postgraduate Diploma, Postgraduate Certificate, Bachelor's with Honours

Level 7

UNDERGRADUATE

Full-time duration: 1–3 years 60–360 credits

Full-time duration: 1–4 years 60–480 credits

Top tip: When you look at a programme of study in New Zealand, it should tell you which level on the NZQF you’d achieve when you graduate, as well as the type of qualification – such as a certificate, diploma or degree.

Studying is an investment in your future and one of the best ways to ensure you remain work-ready in today's ever-changing world.

If you're considering study at tertiary level, here are some of your options for funding your studies.

Fees-Free If this is your first time studying at Unitec, you might be eligible for fees-free study support.

Fees-free covers your tuition fees, compulsory course costs and compulsory student services fees. To receive fees-free support, you need to be eligible and enrolled in an eligible programme.

For up-to-date information on fees-free study, including eligibility criteria, visit feesfree.govt.nz

Student Loans and Allowances StudyLink is the best place to start when looking for help to pay for your study.

What you’re eligible to apply for depends on your age, income and course type.

StudyLink may be able to help with: • Compulsory tuition fees • Course-related costs • Other costs (e.g. disability or childcare)

Note: if you’re eligible for fees-free study, you might not need a loan for your tuition fees (but you might still need one for course-related and living costs).

Our Student Support Advisors can help you with any questions to do with funding your studies - even before you've started study!

Email studentsupport@ unitec.ac.nz, call 0800 10 95 10 or drop into Te Pae Kōrero (Student Central) on either campus.

14

If you're between the ages of 16 and 19, a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident, and enrolled in an eligible 6- or 12-month Level 3 programme, you might be able to apply for funding under the Youth Guarantee Scheme to cover your compulsory tuition fees.

For more information about eligibility criteria, visit tec.govt.nz

• Living costs

A Student Loan can help with paying for your tuition fees (compulsory fees charged by us), study materials (e.g. books, computer, travel) and living costs. Because this is a loan, you’ll have to pay it back once you start working.

Top tip:

Youth Guarantee Scheme

A Student Allowance is a weekly payment to help you with your living expenses while you’re studying.

If you’re eligible, you don’t have to pay this one back.

To find out if you’re eligible to apply for a Student Loan and/or Allowance, visit studylink.govt.nz.

The application process for a Student Loan and/or Allowance can be quite complicated if you’ve not experienced it before. So, we have drop-in sessions available at the beginning of each semester where our Student Support Advisors can help you with your application.

Help while you study While you're studying, sometimes unexpected and additional costs can pop up. If you find yourself struggling financially, Unitec has Study Grants up to $500 that domestic, full-time students can apply for, as well as an emergency hardship fund that can provide a small one-off payment to help you cover the cost of unforeseen circumstances. Our Student Support team can help put you in touch with other support services who can help to get you back on your feet.

Our website unitec.ac.nz has the most up-to-date fees information. It also has useful links to help you work out how to apply for a loan, and whether there are scholarships you should be applying for.

Applying for a scholarship or award is another great way to help pay for your studies.

We have a huge range available – there’s something for everyone – with scholarships and awards available for school leavers, Māori, and Pacific as well as gender-specific, tuition-fee, performance-based, and community scholarships and awards.

Our Campuses Waitākere Campus Our Waitākere campus sits right in the heart of Henderson and is where almost 3000 of our students call home.

It’s in the perfect location for our Nursing, Medical Imaging, Mental Health and Wellbeing, Free4U Computing, and Social Practice students because of its proximity to local health and community services that all play a huge part in their learning experience.

Nursing and Medical Imaging students spend time at the Waitākere Hospital Awhina Simulation Clinic, a sophisticated, high-tech clinical training facility. It provides key features of a fully-operating hospital environment for students to learn, practise and observe.

Social Practice students complete work placements with services like the Kakano Youth Arts Collective, a visual arts initiative for young artists based at Corban Estate Arts Centre just down the road from campus.

Shuttle Our Inter-Campus Need to get from one campus to the other? Make use of our inter-campus shuttle which departs regularly from both campuses – and it's free for all Unitec students.

Student Life and s e ic v r e S t r o p Sup a Me te

Te Koiora Tauir ki Ngā Rātonga Tauna Welcome to Unitec - as Director of Student Success, I'm privileged to work with an open and friendly team, all dedicated to supporting you have the best experience while you're studying.

Your success is our success!

Q and A with

Annette Pitovao

Director of Student Success, Poutama Angitū

How would your team describe you?

Firm but fair – I try my best to lead by example.

What are the three things you think about most in a day?

• What do I want to achieve today?

• How can I make a difference?

• What can I do differently to yesterday?

Favourite place on campus?

There’s an amazing view on Level 3 of Te Puna straight across the puna. In the early morning light, its tranquillity is beautiful.

Favourite eatery on campus?

There is always something going on and you’ll always be able to find someone to help you with anything from academic support and career development to health and wellbeing, connection with other students, financial support and spirituality.

Remember, you've paid for these services through your fees so take advantage as much as you can during your studies to ensure you succeed.

Any tips for students struggling to decide on what to study?

Have a plan - what does your dream job look like and what are the steps you need to take to get there? I’ve met so many young people unsure of what to study and having a plan is a great way to keep on track.

Piece of advice for new students?

It's important to make connections (whānaungatanga) and create a layer of support and trust with people you know you can lean on. Make lots of friends and build connections in the classroom so you have people you can discuss things with.

Advice you would give your 18-year-old self?

Relax woman! Upon reflection I was probably too structured.

I didn’t allow myself enough flex and others too much.

Long Black Café (Mt Albert).

Help on Campus Our Student Support Advisors can help answer any questions you may have, help you navigate your way around your studies, and ease you into student life on campus. Ask them about anything - from financial and budgeting support, scholarships, awards and grants, and mentoring opportunities. They work closely with all student support services across both campuses, and can refer you to or connect you with the right people and services.

18

Top tip: Have a chat to the team at the AskMe desk in Te Puna (Mt Albert) or the Hub (Waitākere) to speak with a Student Support Advisor.

Te Pae Kōrero (Student Central) is your first point of contact for all programme enquiries and enrolments.

Learning and Achievement

Our Academic Development Team provide free academic support and advice through workshops, one-to-one and group consultations covering a range of topics including academic reading and writing, referencing and time management.

Their services are available on both campuses – you can either book an appointment or drop-in during student drop-in hours.

Career Development

Our Career Development Team offer career advice and is free for all prospective and current Unitec students, as well as Alumni. The career consultants not only help with getting your CV ready but will also help maximise your employability. Come and talk to the team if you need a hand planning the next step in your studies or career.

Ally Network

We want our students to know they are respected and valued no matter their sexual orientation. The ALLY network is made up of gay, straight, cis and diverse gendered staff and students who work towards building an inclusive learning environment.

Disability Support Services

The Access4Success team works to support students across Unitec with long-term, short-term, and temporary impairments. If you have a physical, learning or sensory impairment, mental distress or temporary injury, Access4Success offers resources and support like note-taking, assist technology, alternative exam arrangements and temporary parking permits.

Health and Wellbeing

Te Puna Waiora is our fully-equipped medical centre for both our domestic and international students. We have everything needed to support both your physical and mental wellbeing with counselling services, free nurse visits and affordable doctor’s appointments.

Our Volunteer Chaplains (Multifaith Chaplaincy Service) are on-hand to support our staff and students of all faiths, including those of no particular faith, and provide an inclusive and holistic approach to spirituality.

And our Sports Centre (Mt Albert campus) hosts both a stadium and fully equipped gym open to the community. As a Unitec student, you can enjoy discounted rates to join.

19

International Success

My role is to ensure the wellbeing and inclusion of our international students as well as quality education and learning outcomes.

Q and A with

Tracy Chapman

I work alongside our international support teams to improve our services – it’s important we take care of our international students, that they’re well supported, welcomed and valued for their contribution to the communities they live and study in, and to New Zealand as a whole.

Director of International Success

Favourite part of your job?

Number one question asked by new students?

Meeting new students and connecting them with each other.

Usually something job-related. We find opportunities where we can for our international students to work on their interviewing and CV writing skills as well as networking and internship opportunities.

In your opinion, what makes Unitec the best place to work and study?

The people – all the staff are genuinely dedicated to their students.

Good life hack for study?

Get to know your lecturers – make sure they know who you are and make sure you get the most out of them.

20

Piece of advice for new students?

Go to everything you’re invited to, pay attention, always be on the look-out for opportunities, get connected, and don’t be afraid to ask questions (even if by email).

Fun fact, how many languages can you speak?

I can only speak English fluently but my te reo Māori and German is pretty good, I know some French and Italian, and I can understand some Arabic.

rt International Suppo The International Team is here for you when you need help or advice.

We start each semester with a special orientation event, and you can drop in with questions at any stage of your studies.

We help our International students with: • Student Visa and Insurance information • Academic programme advice, entry to admission requirements and study options • Tuition fees • Accommodation • Living in New Zealand • International support and information • Workshops and Focus Groups

e Ehara taku yself alone, but th m f o t a th t o n is My success

Q and A with iri Toni Rew

Director of Māori Success

What’s your role at Unitec?

I work with a fantastic group of our Māori staff to ensure our Māori students are academically and culturally successful

What are the three things you think about most in a day?

A tip for balancing study/work/life commitments?

Plan early. When you enrol, you’re given your schedule for the year. Buy a big calendar and put all the important dates on it – when assignments are due, when your exams are.

This way you can see the whole year in advance and get ahead by planning other commitments around your study.

• My whānau are always top of mind • Māori students and how we can better support them to succeed • How I can better support my Unitec whānau

Favourite place on campus?

Ngakau Mahaki (Unitec’s wharenui) because I feel culturally connected to it and I love that it’s a place for all of Unitec.

Second favourite is the marae’s kitchen for obvious reasons.

Recommendations for making the transition from school/work to study easier?

Whānau support is essential. If your whānau live locally, stay with them at home if you can to save money. If you’re from out-of-town, we can be your whānau away from home.

We won’t do your washing, but we can pretty much help with anything else.

Piece of advice for new students?

Make sure you choose the right programme for you!

Not because Nan said do this or because Uncle did that – you’ve got to study the programme that best suits your life journey.

22

a Te Noho Kotahitang Te Noho Kotahitanga, our partnership with Māori, is at the core of everything we do so it only makes sense our marae at our Mt Albert campus be named Te Noho Kotahitanga too.

Our marae is a living, breathing reflection of our commitment to the success of all students and is a place full of learning opportunities. It’s a place for students to connect with their place of learning, and for Māori students, a space to be their authentic selves – wherever they are on their cultural journey. It’s also where an awesome group of our Māori staff call home.

Marae Team It’s not often you won’t find one of our marae whānau working hard to take care of the marae and our students. They welcome all new students and staff to Unitec with a powhiri, and they're part of the celebrations when you graduate (particularly for our Māori graduation, Kahurangi).

They’re your whānau away from home and can help you find the right support for any academic, cultural or financial queries you might have. You’ll always be able to find a helping hand at the marae – drop in whenever you need too.

For more information visit: unitec.ac.nz/māori

Academic Development (Māori) Our Māori Academic Development team provide free academic support and advice through workshops, one-to-one and group consultations covering a range of topics including academic reading and writing, referencing and time management.

Their services are available on both campuses – you can either book an appointment or drop-in during student drop-in hours.

Whai Ake i te Ara Tika Whai Ake is a Māori mentoring programme that provides a strong support system for our new Māori students based on whānaungatanga (a connection to each other), manaakitanga (an environment of care) and whakapapa (family connections).

It’s an opportunity to connect and learn from other Māori students who have already completed their first year, while enjoying the benefits of academic, cultural and wellbeing support within a kaupapa Māori setting.

As a first year student enrolled in a full-time, full-year programme, you may be eligible for a Whai Ake mentee scholarship which will take $2000 off your tuition fees.

Q and A witho Tominiko Falanik

Director of Pacific Success, Pacific Centre for Learning, Teaching and Research

What’s your role at Unitec?

My role is to oversee our commitment to Pacific success.

My team and I at the Pacific Centre work to ensure our Pacific students have what they need to achieve both academically and culturally.

Study what you're passionate about, not what other people want you to study.

Favourite place on campus?

Recommendations for making the transition from school/work to study easier?

Te Puna (Mt Albert campus) – partly because it’s where the Pacific Centre is located, but also because it’s always a welcoming, alive and bright space.

The journey is always easier when you have support, whether that be from family and friends or from us – but support is always available when you ask.

Top three reasons a student would visit the Pacific Centre?

Number one question asked by new students?

• Academic support

Where can I get financial help or are there any scholarships? (see Funding your studies on pg. 14 and 15).

• To hang out and be a student in a space dedicated to their culture • To get lunch (luckily, we always have plenty of food)

Favourite part of the job?

Meeting and hanging out with students.

24

Any tips for students struggling to decide on what to study?

Best piece of advice you’ve ever received?

I had a teacher who never gave me advice, but he believed in me and went out of his way to make sure I knew it. But I’ve got one phrase that has stuck with me for years: conceive, believe and achieve. What your mind conceives, and your heart believes, you can achieve.

The Pacific Centre It's important our Pacific students not only have an awesome learning experience but have the space to learn and grow as Pacific people.

The Pacific Centre is your first port of call – it’s a place for our Pacific students to come and be advised on where best to seek academic, cultural and wellbeing support, so you can achieve to the best of your abilities. The support network reaches wide and far across both campuses. You’ll never not be able to find someone willing to help you out.

uage 2018 Samoan Lang n Event tio ra leb Ce

The Pacific Centre team also run Pacific events throughout the year to make sure you remain culturally connected while studying. These include orientation activities and fanau evenings, Pacific language week celebrations, assignment retreats and our Pacific Graduation Dinner.

Academic Development (Pacific) Our Pacific Academic Development team provide free academic support and advice through workshops, one-to-one and group consultations covering a range of topics including academic reading and writing, referencing and time management.

Their services are available on both campuses – you can either book an appointment or drop-in and see them at the Pacific Centre during student drop-in hours.

The Bee Business - Literally...

Business students majoring in marketing were recently given an insider’s guide to the lives of bees on site at Unitec’s apiary, but what exactly do the lives of bees have to do with marketing?

Students teamed up with BuzzTech, a NZ company helping beekeepers go digital, to develop a marketing strategy for a new App the company is launching called ApiBuzz. It allows beekeepers to keep digital tabs on their bees, taking the manual paperwork out of beekeeping and automating the process along the way.

Nafisa Kapadia

ement) Bachelor of Business (Manag

Nafisa Kapadia, 20, an international student from Mumbai, India, recently completed her third-year Applied Operations project in collaboration with Foodstuffs. The project involved reviewing the implementation of a new automated and centralised operations system.

As part of the Bachelor of Business (Management), students are asked to put theory into practice, working on real business projects with New Zealand companies as part of one of the programme’s final-year papers.

In collaboration with Foodstuffs, one of New Zealand’s largest grocery organisations, Nafisa worked with a team to come up with potential improvements to Foodstuffs’ operations system, designed to help improve the way the company’s smaller stores manage things like inventory.

“We kind of forgot this was an assignment - it felt more like it was our job and we were all held accountable for the work that we did.

The balance of thinking and doing has been good. We’ve learned about all the different areas that make up a company, as well as how to deal with regulations, health and safety, and other areas relating to business – from professional practice to project management and law. This degree really teaches you all aspects of the business world.”

Business intelligence combines business, databases, data warehousing, data mining and software development to find ways for organisations to use thei data for future planning. Business intelligence is pivotal in helping organisations understand their business, compete effectively and excel in their field. You’ll learn how to create and manage data warehouse solutions that fit into the strategies of complex enterprises in the ever-changing market, and how to develop effective data models and reports to help business decision-making.

"

It was perfect timing getting put forward for an internship at IBM by my head of department after he saw one of my game designs. My degree was opening me up to the whole big world of IT and I wanted to be part of it! That's what makes Unitec so different - it's about gaining skills in real life situations, and working hard for opportunities.

Construction Management

Bevan Van Wyk

struction New Zealand Diploma in Con

Stepping up in Construction Management For most of his adult life Bevan Van Wyk worked as a boilermaker - a trained craftsman producing steel fabrications - until, aged 40, he decided to move into the ever-growing and financially promising world of Construction Management.

He’s now in his second year of the New Zealand Diploma in Construction, which he studies part-time, and works as a junior site manager at Aspec Construction.

“Construction has always been a passion of mine,” he says. “It’s just a pity it took me 20 years to do what I wanted to do. I guess I put family first, but then I thought, ‘No, it’s my turn now’.”

Bevan got the job with Aspec Construction after meeting a representative of the company at a Unitec recruitment evening in August 2018. The recruitment evening encouraged Bevan to put himself out there, network, and meet with companies seeking to recruit employees just like him.

“He [the Aspec Construction representative] said, ‘Send us your CV’. And four days later, I got the job.”

He’s fast learning how construction projects begin (the signing of contracts), and end (passing over of keys), and how much is involved in-between. “I’d not comprehended the amount of work that goes into every detail. It’s phenomenal!”

Asked why he chose to study at Unitec, his answer is simple – “I asked around, and everyone recommended Unitec.” Bevan says because the tutors are still working as “tradies” they’re up-to-date, and have current links, with the construction industry.

He also appreciates the fact he’s been able to study part-time so he can work and continue to support his family.

Bevan had begun to tire of the sometimes-repetitive nature of his previous work.

“I was feeling a bit stagnant. With construction, there’s always another level to move to — from junior site manager to site manager, from site manager to project manager, from project manager to, hopefully, contracts manager.”

So what does he plan to do when he finishes his diploma? He’s considering progressing into the Bachelor of Construction (Construction Management). “But the idea is to stay with Aspec and grow old with them. I’ve got 25 years of my working life yet, maybe more, and it’s where I want to stay.” Although, he expects he won’t be short of job offers should he ever want another change. “After I’ve finished the diploma, I can work anywhere in the world.”

Ngapuhi descendants, sibling duo Greg and Imogen Van Kan (32 and 19 respectively), teaching tamariki (children) is in their blood.

With several family members already working in early childhood education, it’s no surprise the pair have ended up studying to become qualified teachers – albeit at different times and for different reasons.

Greg says he’s had at least 20 different jobs in his life – “I’ve done pretty much every trade, worked at every fast food restaurant, worked in hotels, bars, even printing” – and hasn’t liked any of them.

When his partner challenged him to think about what he’d really like to do, he thought why not get paid to “hang out” with the people he enjoys most. And, coincidentally, his sister had just started studying the same thing.

Imogen has finished her first year, and Greg his first semester. When they decided to pursue a career in early childhood education, it was important to them they found somewhere to study with the level of work experience they were after.

“I don’t think I could get through this course without having the two days a week in a centre,” says Imogen. “There’s so much more that goes into the development of children than I ever expected. Being a visual person, it’s so much easier for me to learn something in class and then see it while working.”

Animal Health and Welfare

ore Dog training programme m than a walk in the park Curiosity got the better of Devonport-local Augusta Grayson, 37, when, while working from home, she noticed how many dogs in her neighbourhood would whine and bark all day long.

That curiosity is what drove her back to study, and as a result, has pointed her career in a whole new direction.

“Dogs shouldn’t be getting upset and anxious at home, but it happens a lot, particularly in the metro areas because of restrictions in place. A lot of people have working dogs (dogs that are more commonly trained to do different types of work) which are highly-driven and have a mental enrichment requirement that’s quite significant.

“Taking them out for walks is fine, but it’s amazing how more one-on-one time with your dog – mentally satiating them with things like sniffing games – can help work towards resolving many anxiety and reactive issues.”

Conservation and Biodiversity Management

Phoebe Andrews

Bachelor of Applied Science

Student bitten by conservation bug In their last year of study, Bachelor of Applied Science students undertake a research project, an unusual opportunity in New Zealand for undergraduate science students.

Phoebe’s project looked at biosecurity awareness of travellers heading to the various Hauraki Gulf Islands. She surveyed approximately 400 people as they were boarding their ferry – a project which was funded by the Auckland Council through a studentship.

“My job now is to write a report that I’ll not only submit for my final assignment, but it’ll also go to the Auckland Council and they’ll use the research to improve their Treasure Islands campaign.

“It’s so cool to know my work will be used for a real-world situation and make a difference."

The research project allowed Phoebe to travel to Nelson for the annual New Zealand Biosecurity Institute (NZBI) seminar, NETS, which was a great networking opportunity.

Andrew Arona

Bachelor of Nursing

Andrew Arona moved to Aotearoa from Samoa with his fanau in 2009, and has recently graduated from Unitec with a Bachelor of Nursing.

Andrew attributes his passion for nursing to his Christian values; he and other members of his church regularly donate food to the homeless, and this work got him thinking about how else he could serve his community.

Andrew initially studied Unitec’s Certificate in University Preparation before moving into the degree programme on a scholarship. “It was awesome that Unitec has services like Te Puna Ako and the Pacific Centre, which are dedicated to supporting Māori and Pacific students”.

For Andrew, one of the highlights of the programme was the interactions with his lecturers – “they were so approachable!”

He also found that cultural awareness was a massive part of the programme, and is instrumental in helping students understand different cultural needs and values.

Andrew and his cousin Taulaga (who also lectures at Unitec) run presentations at their local church on healthcare issues that are most relevant to the congregation: diabetes, gout, and strokes. They also measure blood pressure, glucose (sugar) levels, weight, and check for other medical conditions.

“Respect is a massive part of Samoan culture, so it was hard, going in as someone young, to tell these elders what to do”.

However, Andrew has found that having Unitec’s degree has made a big difference in his interactions, and is committed to growing preventative healthcare in his community.

Sport, Exercise and Recreation

Sharing her passion for the game Ketaki (Kay) Khare’s passion for rugby is clear. And now she’s able to share it with others as she works to develop and build women’s rugby here in Aotearoa.

Originally from the town of Pune in India, Kay was a sporty child who grew up playing football, hockey and judo. In fact, it was her judo experience that first saw her get into rugby.

“I’d gone to Khares Football and Rugby Academy to play football, and it was there I was exposed to the game of rugby. As soon as I tried it I knew it was for me. I loved the physicality – it was so like judo. The tackling, the try scoring… it became a passion and I haven’t looked back.”

Women's rugby in India was started by Surhud and Swapneel Khare, who immigrated from South Africa. While it wasn’t big, Kay became one of the pioneers of the game in the country and set her sights on national representation. So, when the first ever National Indian Women’s Rugby team was formed, she jumped at the chance to become part of the starting line-up.

“I played for the National Indian Women’s team for five years and it was incredible.

We played against teams from across Asia, places like Kazakhstan, Japan and China, and came so far in terms of our skills, teamwork and confidence.”

In 2012, Kay’s rugby career saw her offered a one-year role in Sri Lanka, running the National Women’s Rugby Development program. Kay thrived in the role but knew she still wanted the chance to continue playing herself, so kept an eye out for other opportunities internationally. Eventually she secured a development scholarship to play in New Zealand’s Bay of Plenty. It was during her move there that she discovered Unitec.

“I’d already decided I wanted to study sports coaching in New Zealand one day if I could.

As I was making my way to the Bay of Plenty for my scholarship role, I had to travel through Auckland, so I decided to go and visit Unitec. It didn’t hurt that the Blues used to train at Unitec back then – I had an added incentive to check it out!”

Kay loved what Unitec had to offer, but it was the people she met who really made an Impact.

“I spoke to Unitec’s International Office and they couldn’t have been more helpful.

They were supportive and really listened and cared about who I was as a person.

They weren’t just ticking boxes. I also met the sports department’s Head of Coaching, who was amazing at showing me the ropes.”

Kay completed her six month stint in the Bay of Plenty and went back to India, but studying at Unitec was firmly in her sights. She was then lucky enough to be offered a one-off New Zealand India Sports Scholarship – one of only ten awarded across the whole of India. This enabled her to come back to New Zealand to study sports coaching at Unitec at the beginning of February 2015.

Danielle Anderson

New Zealand Cer tificate in vel 3) Automotive Engineering (Le

For the love of cars Combining work with study is “killing two birds with one stone” says Danielle Anderson, who is studying part-time for her Certificate in Automotive Engineering while doing an apprenticeship with John Andrew Ford.

Thanks to a childhood surrounded by cars, Danielle Anderson knows her way around a motor like the back of her hand. From helping her father work on his cars to an apprenticeship at John Andrew Ford, she’s now turning her fascination with cars into a career she loves.

While working full-time at John Andrew Ford, Danielle is a part-time student at Unitec, studying a Certificate in Automotive Engineering (Level 3). Combining work with study not only “kills two birds with one stone”, it keeps her motivated and means she can earn a living while studying.

“I didn’t like school at all – it was too much of stuff I didn’t want to learn. But doing the two classes a week has been great, and by the time I finish my programme, and get qualified, I’ll be out of my apprenticeship.”

“I can ask a question in person and get to the root of [the problem]. If I was doing this at home or online, I’d open my book and think ‘I don’t know what I’m supposed to be taking in!’. I’m not a strong reader so being able to talk through something, and be shown how it works, I get the gist of it pretty well,” she says.

While aspiring mechanics could learn on the job, Danielle believes employers are increasingly looking for qualifications to back-up experience. “Some of my classmates are in their 30s and have been [working as mechanics] for a few years, but now want to get the paperwork to move forward in their careers and get that pay rise.”

Danielle says having a programme and apprenticeship that complement each other allows her to apply her learnings both inside and outside the classroom. Much of the practical side of her coursework can be done while she’s at work and signed off by her supervisors. “And the theory I learn at Unitec I can put into practice. It’s nice when you learn something, and then get asked about it at work, to know the answer.

And vice versa!"

International Baccalaureate If you’ve studied the International Baccalaureate at secondary school, find out what NCEA credits are equivalent to your results.

Please note that the information below is subject to change. Find the most up-to-date IB requirements at www.ibo.org

Because the International Baccalaureate is a two-year diploma that secondary school students usually do in Years 12 and 13, the equivalence is only to NCEA Level 3.

Admission requirements for Unitec programmes are stated on the programmes pages. The International Baccalaureate admission criteria will not be explicitly stated for each programme. You may gain admission into Unitec programmes with a combination of grades from different qualifications.

International Baccalaureate equivalence to NCEA Level 3 If you've completed the International Baccalaureate, you'll meet the general admission requirements for an undergraduate degree if you: • Have a minimum total of 24 points in the International Baccalaureate Diploma (IBDP); and • Meet the literacy requirements by having at least four points in an English-rich subject in the IBDP; and • Meet the numeracy requirements by having at least four points in mathmatics in the IBDP or by meeting the necessary numeracy requirements by some other means.

Please be aware that some Unitec programmes have further programme-specific admission requirements.

For more information about this, please refer to the admission requirements for the programme you’re interested in.
