UniPrep is AUT's free university preparation programme offered over the summer break. When is UniPrep? Who is UniPrep for? What should I expect from UniPrep?
To take part, you'll need to be available in January and February. If you're currently in Year 13 and unsure about what university might be like or you would like a head start with your studies, then UniPrep is for you. You should expect to have fun! (And learn all about university life while doing it.) Over a number of weeks, you'll take papers, learn study skills, be immersed in team activities
