Tertiary Education Course Planning for Year 13 The following universities will be coming to school during lunchtime in Term 1 to introduce their university. See the key dates for when this will be. The major universities you show interest in come again in Term 3 to help those in Year 13 who are planning their first year university course. The Term 1 visits are designed to showcase the degrees and facilities they offer and the Term 3 visits are to answer your questions about how to choose courses for your first year at university, as well as answering any queries about admission and accommodation. Sessions will be held in MH6 at lunchtime.

Students can also ask questions or arrange an online meeting with the liaison officers from other universities by email.

Many universities have career sheets relating to their degrees. We have hard copies in folders in the careers room for Canterbury, Otago and Victoria universities but these are also available online. Some universities do not have these sheets (not bolded below) so I have just added a link to their subject options.
