Auckland Sport Colleges - University

We are aiming for 50% of our students in year 13 to be awarded UE, and half of these (25%) to proceed to university, perhaps after a gap year. Support into and through university study will not be the function of the Sports College but we expect to partner with BEWT to manage this transition. However, it will be our responsibility to ensure our students are prepared for university study.

Auckland University of Technology

We have, and have had, students progress to the Bachelor of Sport and Recreation programme at AUT. There is nothing new that Auckland Sports College needs to do to facilitate that transition. One of our original (2019) students who left school with NCEA Level Two completed his Bachelor of Sport and Recreation in 2023.

We have students who have progressed to the Bachelor of Business programme at AUT. There is nothing new that Auckland Sports College needs to do to facilitate that transition.

University of Auckland

We have students who have progressed to the undergraduate Arts, Business, and Law programmes at the University of Auckland. There is nothing new that Auckland Sports College needs to do to facilitate that transition.

Students at Auckland Sports College who have studied NCEA Level 3 statistics with us are prepared for the core Stage 1 Statistics papers, 101 and 125 (and also 150) at the University of Auckland.

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”.

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.

In 2025 we are aiming to have 1 or more students complete UE by mid year and enrol in maths 102 and physics 102 at the University of Auckland in Semester 2.
