We have students studying, or who have completed, degrees at AUT and the University of Auckland. Unitec also offers a number of degrees. At AUT and Unitec students without University Entrance are often able to staircase into a degree by completing a Diploma first. The Diploma has the same content as the first year of a degree and students can advance from the Diploma to the second year of the degree. |

We have students who have progressed to the undergraduate Arts, Business, Health Sciences, and Law programmes at the University of Auckland.
The university has recently lowered the bar for entry to its B.Eng.(Hons) programme. The requirements are now
Students at Auckland Sports College who have studied NCEA Level 3 calculus with us are well prepared for the advancing first year mathematics papers 120 and 130 at the University of Auckland. There are three tiers of first year mathematics at the University of Auckland. The introductory paper, 102, is a refresher course with some new material. It is suitable for our students who did not sit Level 3 externals in differentiation or integration. The next tier, 108 is for students with 13 credits in Level 3 mathematics including the differentiation external. The advancing courses 120 (Algebra) and 130 (Calculus) are for students with at least 18 credits in Level 3 mathematics, including at least 9 credits at merit or excellence.
Students at Auckland Sports College who have studied NCEA Level 3 physics with us are prepared for the advancing courses 120 and 121. The recommended pre-requisites for these are 9 credits in Level 3 Physics (including the Mechanics external) and passes in the Level 3 differentiation and integration externals. It would be helpful to complete 102 at “summer start”.
