Applying to study at UCOL is where your new journey starts. It takes approximately 20 minutes for an online application using a computer or slightly longer if you prefer using a printed copy of the enrolment form. We’ll support you along the way.
Explore our programmes of study, and choose the one that's right for you. Once you decide on the programme you want to enrol in, select the ‘apply now' on the programme web page, or select
"need some advice" if you need help with your application.
The "Apply now" button on the programme web page will lead you here. Select from the options below, or see the enrolment application process to learn more.
Once you've applied, make sure you are ready to pay your fees before the first day that teaching starts.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The Government has announced that Te Pūkenga will be disestablished and a number of regional polytechnics will be re-established. As a consequence of the reform, a polytechnic representing UCOL will be established on 1 January 2026, and will assume all business operations of the UCOL business division of Te Pūkenga. All existing programmes and micro-credentials currently provided by UCOL will transfer to the new polytechnic. All enrolments in those programmes and micro-credentials (whether current, former or pending) will automatically transfer to the new polytechnic. If you wish to enrol with UCOL for 2026, please continue to apply using the buttons above, and your application/enrolment will be automatically transferred to the new polytechnic in 2026. If you have any questions about the upcoming changes and how this might affect your study,
please get in touch with us.
