Foundation courses are often the optimal pathway to realizing your dream of undergraduate studies in New Zealand. Interlink Immigration Solutions Ltd outlines three main pathways for oversea students:
High School Route: This pathway involves three years of study in a New Zealand high school (Year 11 to 13). Alternatively, students can start their education journey at the primary or intermediate school level in New Zealand.
Foundation Course Route: This route is applicable to students who’ve completed at least the first year of high school in other countries. These students can then enroll in a New Zealand university foundation course, the length of which is tailored to the student’s previous academic record.
Direct University Entry Route: This approach requires students to complete the first year of an undergraduate degree in other countries before applying for a program in New Zealand.
From Interlink’s professional perspective, we highly recommend the Foundation Course Route (the second option) for students currently in high school in other countries. This path is the most time-efficient and predictable, bypassing the long-term commitment of the High School Route and the uncertainties of the Direct University Entry Route. Furthermore, if circumstances permit, we strongly advocate for students to experience outstanding foreign education as early as possible, establishing a strong foundation for their future development.
