Tertiary Jargon This jargon is commonly used across the tertiary sector; it’ll help you understand some of the most common terms used throughout this programme guide. Bridging/foundation programme

Flexi-learn

Bridging or foundation programmes are specifically designed to prepare you for higher level, full-time programmes of study. They can help you gain the necessary academic skills and strategies to succeed in your tertiary studies.

Flexi-learn is a delivery option for people already working in industry/business who bring current knowledge to the teaching/learning situation. Class time is streamlined to fit with work and students can use their workplace experience and examples to complete learning and assessment.

Certificate

Certificates are qualifications at Levels 1 to 4, with at least 40 credits. They can be between 12 weeks to a full year in length and can pathway into diploma programmes. Most trades and service jobs require certificates at Levels 3 or 4.

Graduate certificate

Credits

Graduate diplomas are qualifications at Level 7 open to students who already hold a recognised degree. They are usually one year long.

Graduate certificates are qualifications at Level 7 open to students who already hold a recognised degree. They are usually 60 credits in length.

Graduate diploma

Credits show the ‘value’ of a programme and denote the length of time required to successfully complete it. One credit is approximately ten hours of study. A one-year, full-time programme of study is made up of a minimum of 120 credits. All unit standard credits are recorded with NZQA and count towards a particular qualification. ‘Bachelor’ degrees are qualifications at Level 7. They usually take three to four years full-time study to complete and can lead to further study at Masters or Doctorate levels. Diplomas are qualifications at Levels 5 and 6, requiring at least 120 credits. They are between one and two years in length and may pathway into degree programmes.

Major

You’ve got a range of qualifications to choose from at the Polytechnic, from certificates, diplomas to degrees and graduate certificates and diplomas.

National Certificate in Educational Achievement (NCEA)

Entry requirements

Each programme has entry criteria you must meet. These may be academic requirements or work experience. Please note this programme guide does not list the complete entry requirements, it only shows a summary.

NCEA is New Zealand’s main secondary school qualification. NCEA can be gained at Level 1 (usually in Year 11), Level 2 (usually Year 12) and Level 3 (usually Year 13). Different programmes at Bay of Plenty Polytechnic may require you to have a minimum number of NCEA credits at specified levels to be able to enter.

Students are more likely to succeed if they have life and/or work experience that is relevant to the programme and are able to demonstrate that they have the ability, interest and motivation, as well as the literacy and numeracy level to succeed in the programme.

New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA)

The New Zealand Qualifications Authority assures the quality of national qualifications in New Zealand.

Applicants with life skills and/or work experience who do not meet the stated entry requirements, but can demonstrate the equivalent ability and experience are encouraged to apply.

Programmes

Level

Certain diplomas or degrees allow you to select a major subject to study. For example, the Diploma in Tourism offers majors in international flight attending, travel management and event management. Since you’ll be studying this subject a while and changing majors is not easy, make sure to choose one you enjoy, are good at and possibly want to pursue for a career.

Diploma

At Bay of Plenty Polytechnic you can enter a programme of study at a level that suits your previous work skills and life experience or qualifications. You may have the necessary knowledge and skills to be able to enter directly into a programme, or you may need to start at a lower level with fewer entry requirements or complete a bridging programme. Many of our programmes directly lead into, or pathway into, further study options either at Bay of Plenty Polytechnic or at other leading national or international tertiary education providers. A programme is made up of courses, papers or units of study that lead to a qualification. Some programmes require successful completion of compulsory subjects while others offer elective subjects.

Each programme is classified by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) at a Level from 1 to 10. The higher the Level, the more complex and demanding the programme will be.

Degree

Pathway

Papers

Some diplomas and degrees are made up of a specific number of papers, all of which you’ll need to pass. Sometimes you can choose papers from a list of English language requirements (unless stated otherwise) options, just make sure to check the diploma/degree and pathway IELTS TOEFL TOEFL iBT requirements closely. paper-based Level 1-4 programmes

In and Around Tauranga It's not called the Bay of Plenty for nothing!

Surrounded by glorious coastline, pumping surf beaches and lush farmland, Tauranga boasts a laidback café lifestyle and offers plenty of excitement as one of the fastest growing cities in New Zealand. If you’re already living in the Bay it makes financial, educational and lifestyle sense to stay right where you are. You can study towards an internationally recognised qualification with the largest tertiary provider in the Western Bay – and all this in the lifestyle capital of New Zealand, Tauranga!

If you’re new to the Bay, here’s a quick overview… Tauranga is one of New Zealand’s most popular tourist destinations with a warm sub-tropical climate right in the heart of the Bay of Plenty. It’s home to New Zealand’s largest export port and boasts spectacular beaches, forests, wineries, boutique shopping and a plethora of sporting and recreational opportunities. Whether you make a run up the 'Mount' (Mauao) your daily activity, hit the all-terrain adventure parks or just want to relax at one of the many beaches or cafés, you’ll truly be spoilt for choice when you study and live in Tauranga.

Our Campuses Bay of Plenty Polytechnic has two campuses in Tauranga, a road transport training centre and a small regional facility in Edgecumbe. Our friendly campuses feature excellent facilities giving you everything you need to get a full educational experience.

Road Transport, Warehousing & Logistics Training Centre The brand new Road Transport, Warehousing & Logistics Training Centre at Maleme Street is a fully functioning 3,000m2 road transport and distribution warehouse in the middle of the distribution sector in Tauranga. The warehouse provides a hands-on and real learning environment. The facility has been established with full support by Tranzqual and Retail Industry Training Organisations and is the only training facility of its kind in the country.
