如果您对科学和/或工程专业感兴趣，那么此计划是一个完美的起点。您将学习一个必修模块“应用科学专业技能1”，然后您便可以从两种上下文（应用科学或工程）中选择一种上下文和模块。完成该课程后，毕业生可以继续学习应用科学4，或者从工程领域毕业的学生将可以继续进行工程学进一步的学习。
This programme is a starting point for those interested in a career in science and/or engineering. This programme provides a pathway for entry into higher-level science programmes, or to the New Zealand Diploma in Engineering, for those students who dont already meet the academic entry requirements. Students will study one compulsory module, Professional Skills in Applied Science 1, then choose a context and modules from one of two contexts Applied Science or Engineering. Upon completing this programme, graduates can progress on to further study in Applied Science 5, or graduates from the engineering context will be able to further study in engineering.
