The Certificate of Proficiency provides students with the opportunity: To supplement their current knowledge before proceeding to advanced study. To undertake a small number of courses in specific areas of interest without enrolling in a formal qualification. It is also an option if you want to study just one or two courses. To undertake a limited number of University of Auckland courses while being enrolled at another tertiary institution. Note that transferring the credit back to your programme is subject to approval from your home institution. Please be aware that the Certificate of Proficiency is approved on a semester-by-semester basis and is not suitable if you are pursuing a long-term course of study, or seeking the equivalent of full-time study. Meet a major requirement or try a subject you’re interested in by taking one or two courses at the University of Auckland without committing to a full programme.
