WELCOME TO UNITEC

Thinking about your future study plans is an exciting time, and there is a lot to consider.

You need to think about the career you want, whether it suits your skills and interests, and if job prospects are good in your chosen career path.

It’s also a big decision to study abroad, away from your loved ones in a different country.

Unitec offers some real points of difference that may make your decision a little bit easier.

Our International Office are a great team of people who will support you every step of the way.

They offer programme advice, visa and insurance support and more to ensure you settle into life at Unitec and to help make New Zealand and Auckland your new home away from home.

Unitec programmes also cover a wide range of subjects at all levels of study, to help you get a great job after you’ve completed your studies.

That’s why 90% of our programmes include practical work experience. You can be sure that the skills you learn are relevant, up-to-date and needed by employers in your chosen career.

And it can open the door to job opportunities before you even graduate. Just ask any one of the hundreds of students who already enjoy part-time jobs at the IBM and Concentrix Delivery Centres at our Mt Albert campus.

Many international students benefit from these opportunities too, with great pay, convenient work hours, and a set of valuable skills they can add to their CVs while working for globally-recognised companies.

Whatever you choose to do, we’re here to help you make the right decision, succeed in your studies, achieve your goals, and make the most of your experience in New Zealand.

Nau mai, haere mai! We welcome you to Unitec and to Auckland with open arms.

WELCOME TO NEW ZEALAND (AOTEAROA) A beautiful piece of paradise in the South Pacific, New Zealand is a country of contrasts. From tropical forests to white sand beaches and towering mountains to bubbling hot springs, the scenery is spectacular. Then there are New Zealand’s modern and vibrant cities bursting with world-class restaurants, galleries, theatres and museums. You can ski, sail, hike, sky dive and mountain bike your way around the country. Or simply enjoy the relaxed lifestyle and clean air that Kiwis take for granted.

New Zealand is repeatedly voted one of the world’s most peaceful countries according to the Global Peace Index. With a population of 4.5 million people, New Zealand is really diverse. The indigenous Māori people were the first inhabitants of Aotearoa and today New Zealanders come from all over the world, including the Pacific Islands, Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe. New Zealand welcomes everyone, practises all forms of religion, and enjoys political debate and freedom of speech. New Zealand was the first country in the world to give women the vote and we are proud to be nuclear free!

LIVING IN AUCKLAND (TAMAKI MAKAU RAU) The Māori name for Auckland is Tamaki Makau Rau, which means ‘city of many lovers’. And it’s true – we love Auckland and we’re sure you will too!

Black sand beaches along Auckland’s west coast

Some Auckland facts Auckland is New Zealand’s biggest city – around one third of the country’s population live here, about 1.4 million people. It’s also the largest Polynesian city in the world.

Auckland’s major businesses include

information and computer technology, biotechnology and the creative industries. Health, construction, viticulture and food manufacturing are also important industries.

Auckland is called the city of sails because the harbour is full of hundreds of yachts. In fact, there are more yachts per person than in any other city in the world. At 328 metres high,

Auckland’s iconic Sky Tower is the tallest building in New Zealand.

Events in Auckland There’s never a dull moment in Auckland, with events that range from wine and food to music and film, and of course international sports like rugby and cricket. For the full guide to what’s on, check out www.eventfinder.co.nz

YOUR ACCOMMODATION ON/OFF CAMPUS On campus

Finding your own accommodation

Unitec has contracted Campus Living Villages (CLV) to provide accommodation options for students. Some accommodation will be oncampus and some will be in nearby suburbs.

Please contact CLV directly on their email: unitec@clv.co.nz. For up to date information, please check our website www.unitec.ac.nz/ why-choose-unitec/accommodation.

If you are looking for your own accommodation, please make sure you arrive in Auckland at least two weeks before your semester starts. Some houses, flats or apartments will not be furnished so you may need to purchase household items when you first move in.

There is a huge variety of accommodation available. To secure this, you need to view the property and meet with the landlord to formally sign the tenancy agreement, so please do arrive in Auckland early! Tenancy and landlord details can be found on http://www.dbh.govt.nz/tenancy-agreement.

A useful website for finding accommodation is www.trademe.co.nz. When selecting suburbs that are close to the Mt Albert campus, you can search for Kingsland, Mt Roskill, Mt Albert, Sandringham, Avondale and New Lynn.

DOCUMENTS TO SUBMIT

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE FAQs

To assess all applications, we require these standard documents:

Who can write my SOP?

» A completed application form, signed by the applicant » Birth certificate OR passport ID page, showing name and date of birth » Secondary / high school transcripts » Tertiary / university / college transcripts (if relevant) » Graduation or completion certificates confirming the qualification has been completed For Graduate, Postgraduate, and Masters applications, we also require these documents: » Statement of purpose (SOP) giving your motivation for study, career goals etc (see below for more details) » Up-to-date CV showing your past study, work history (paid, part-time, voluntary etc), interests etc » References confirming your work experience, if available (some programmes require work experience and applications for these will not be assessed until the references are provided – please refer to the programme’s details in this prospectus or on Unitec’s website for more details) For Architecture and Design applications, we also require: » Portfolio showing a collection of your best recent work, presented as jpeg/ pdf files or a PowerPoint slideshow Applicants in NZ may be able to bring the portfolio to an interview if an interview is required but it is best to provide an electronic copy with the application for initial assessment.

For hints and tips about putting portfolios together, please see www.unitec.ac.nz/application-andfunding/admission-requirements/portfolios.

SOPs must be written by the student applying for the programme.

Can I copy the SOP or ask someone else to write it for me?

No – it is very important that you write your own statement.

Do not ask a friend, agent or family member to do it for you, and please do not copy paragraphs from Unitec’s or other websites. We want to know why you want to study with us, and only you can tell us this.

Why do I have to write an SOP? Mainly to help Unitec understand why you are applying for the programme you selected, and whether it is likely to meet your needs. The SOP does not affect whether you meet the general entry requirements.

What do I need to include in my SOP? » Your name (and your Unitec ID number if you have it) » The Unitec programme you want to study (we cannot proceed if your SOP is about another institution or a programme we do not offer) » Your motivation for applying – in other words: › what interests you about this programme or area of study? › what do you hope to get out of your study? » Some thoughts about your future plans – you could tell us about: › further study you might be planning to do after completing this programme › whether you want to work in NZ (or in another country) afterwards › what kind of work you think you might like to do

Is there anything I should NOT put in my SOP? Please do NOT include the following: » Paragraphs or lists of courses from Unitec’s website (or other websites promoting NZ) » Paragraphs copied from SOPs other students have written You can mention your work experience if relevant, but full details should go on your CV or resumé.

How long does my SOP need to be?

One page (about 3-4 paragraphs) is enough, if you give us the information we are asking for in these guidelines.
