Comparing school and uni
University can be quite different from high school, and it comes with its own set of challenges and opportunities. Understanding these differences will help you settle into uni life and make the most of this new chapter.
What you need to get in
We can help you figure it out! You’ll likely need University Entrance (UE) to start your studies, but there are options if you don’t have that. For some degrees you also need specific school subjects or interviews.
Still in school? Look out for visits from our team!
Our student recruitment team visits schools around the country – keep an eye out for them and come over to ask any questions you have about AUT or uni life.
