Frequently Asked Questions

• What are the entry requirements?: To be admitted to the Certificate of Proficiency, students must meet the requirements to study at a New Zealand University (e.g., through University Entrance or an alternative entrance pathway). This option is only available to NZ citizens and permanent residents over 20 years old.
• What is a Certificate of Proficiency (CoP)?: A Certificate of Proficiency is a course-only study option that allows students to take a course at the University of Auckland without studying a full programme. It is a good option for those who want to study short-term or to test whether a subject is something they wish to pursue more of in the future.
• Does the course enable me to take further study at the University?: If students decide to progress their studies further towards a full qualification, they can apply to reassign the points from their CoP to the Master of Engineering Management, Master of Engineering Project Management, Master of Civil Engineering, or other relevant degrees (entry criteria and time limits apply).
• Do I get a certificate at the end?: As a Certificate of Proficiency is not a formal qualification, students will not be able to graduate with it or receive a graduation certificate. Their results will be recorded on their official academic transcript, providing evidence of their study.
