Life on campus From our biggest campus in Mt Albert to the Northern campus in Albany, Unitec’s three campuses are all quite different. The Mt Albert campus is green and spacious, with lots of carparking, sports facilities and cafes to catch up with friends. It’s just 10 minutes drive to the city, and a short walk to the nearest bus stop and train station. Out west, there’s Waitakere with its modern teaching facilities, right at the heart of Henderson. Our Northern campus in Albany is easy to reach from all parts of the North Shore and the northwest. All our campuses are 100% smokefree and they’re constantly buzzing with students of all ages, nationalities and backgrounds. There’s always something going on too – from social events on campus to action-packed trips out of Auckland with the Experience NZ programme.

The year starts with the biggest student orientation event in the country and finishes with the massive End of Year Party, with concerts, film nights, gaming events, sporting events, BBQs, parties, comedy nights and Kids’ Days Out in between. You can join one of the many clubs or societies at Unitec or even start your own one. And if you’re after some culture, there are regular plays and dance performances by performing arts students, as well as design and visual arts exhibitions at the Mt Albert campus galleries.

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.

KIWI SPEAK

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!

Some Auckland facts Auckland is New Zealand’s biggest city – around one third of the population lives here, about 1.4 million people. It’s also the largest Polynesian city in the world. According to Mercer Quality of Living survey, Auckland is currently ranked as the third best city to live in the world!

Colin Fatuimoana Langilangi Tonga Bachelor of Applied Technology (Marine)

It was very important to me to learn from people with differing opinions, from people who had travelled and were from different parts of the world and this is one of the many reasons I chose to study marine technology at Unitec. Since being at Unitec, I have become totally independent and love to socialise and meet new people every day on and off campus. So far this has been the best experience of my life.

Construction and Civil Engineering

In New Zealand and throughout the world, qualified construction managers and skilled technical engineers who can plan, cost, organise and manage construction and engineering contracts are in great demand. They also need to be able to work together on big projects like harbours, motorways, bridges, residential complexes, and public and commercial buildings. Our construction

and civil engineering programmes are designed to meet this demand, preparing our graduates for “big picture” roles with high levels of responsibility and equally high earning potential. When you graduate from Unitec, you will be well-equipped for such a role – a fact that is recognised throughout the industry.

Start with a programme that suits your qualifications and/or experience, then progress to a level that achieves your goals. Check the programme admission requirements for details. Graduate Diploma in Construction Projet management

When I arrived at Unitec, I didn’t have much time to feel lost. Everybody on campus from staff to students is very friendly and helpful. The first weeks of studying at Unitec offered many great events during the breaks or in the afternoons and evenings. I enjoy learning from so many different points of view. Talking to different students and tutors gives me new approaches that I had never thought about.

GRADUATE Ashley Grey Medical Radiation Technologist, Counties Manukau District Health Board, Radiology Department Bachelor of Health Science (Medical Imaging)

“I originally wanted to be a dancer, but injuries prevented this. The many x-rays, MRI scans, nuclear medicine scans and ultrasound scans I had along the way unlocked a new interest in radiology. The medical imaging programme at Unitec is a mixture of theory and practice. It’s hard work – you often spend your holidays in clinical placements - but the small classes allow you to build strong relationships with your classmates and tutors. A proud moment for me was receiving the Unitec Senior Scholar Award at graduation, which shows that hard work does pay off! My qualification is 100%

relevant to my job now. Having a clinical placement at Middlemore Hospital really helped me as I was exposed to working life as a radiographer from day one. I love that no day is ever the same. Radiation technologists work all over the hospital (general, emergency, superclinic, theatre, screening), and I really enjoy this fast-paced environment. I don’t know yet where my future will take me but there are so many opportunities with a medical imaging degree. I could do postgraduate study in mammography, ultrasound, MRI or nuclear medicine, or I could even travel abroad with my degree.”

Unitec is an institute which concentrates more on practical experience and this is one of the many reasons I chose to study here. The NZCEL course has helped me improve my academic English skills which will help me when I move into the Bachelor of Architecture (Landscape Design).

I chose Unitec because of the hands on nature of the programme. I felt I would get more out of my education through a practical approach combined with a theoretical one. I have learned so much more than I thought I would in my classes, real world skills and a solid base for any future workplace. I would recommend studying in a foreign country since you learn about a new place, new people, and most of all about yourself. It’s a worthwhile, once in a lifetime experience!

» 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:

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 http://www.unitec.ac.nz/future-students/enrolment/ admission-requirements/portfolios/portfolios_home.cfm

» 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 website for more details)

Statement of Purpose FAQs Who can write my SOP? 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 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.

Guidelines for Credit recognition/ Cross-credits As per the Unitec Academic Statute, “cross-credit” means the award of credit in recognition of successful equivalent study at the same or higher level, in the context of another programme and in accordance with the institution’s policy on credit recognition. Cross-credits awarded do not usually exceed 50% of the Unitec programme, and may be less. All cross-credits granted are provisional until approved by the Programme Committee. The student will be formally advised of the Programme Committee’s decision in writing. Cross-credits are only applicable to the programme for which they are approved; they cannot be reassigned to another programme. The information on this form and on any attachments will be covered by the NZ Privacy Act 1993 and by Unitec’s Privacy of Information policy. Go to www.unitec.ac.nz and search for Privacy Policy for further details. Unitec reserves the right to seek confirmation of the authenticity and accuracy of any documentation provided by other tertiary institutions or referees. Please apply at least two months before the semester begins; the assessment process may take longer than this in some cases. Credits approved more than two weeks after the semester begins will not affect your enrolment in that semester (ie you will not be able to withdraw from courses or apply for a refund based on credits approved).

To apply for cross-credits, please 1 Complete the Application for Credit Recognition / Cross-credits form (SAF005) in as much detail as possible 2 Obtain detailed course descriptions / course outlines / syllabus in English from the previous institution for each course you would like considered for cross-credits; ideally this will be in pdf format 3 If you have not already supplied notarised copies of the transcript and completion certificate, please attach these. › Note: “notarised” means you must provide a copy of each document certified by a Justice of the Peace, Solicitor or authorised Unitec agent with the following statement “I have sighted the original of this document and confirm that this is a true copy” › Alternatively you may provide the original documents in person to Unitec International for copying and verification on-site 4 Return all items to Unitec International at › Unitec International, Private Bag 92025, Victoria Street West, Auckland 1142, NZ › Unitec International, 139 Carrington Road, Mt Albert, Auckland 1025, NZ › international.applications@unitec.ac.nz There is no fee for cross-credit assessment.
