When she didn’t get the points, she needed to enrol directly in an architecture degree from school. The staff at Unitec worked with Jessica to put together a study plan to help her achieve her dream of becoming an architect. 
“Their support is ultimately what made me want to continue studying there for my bachelor’s degree and my master’s degree,” she says.

What has been announced?

Minister for Vocational Education Hon. Penny Simmonds has announced MIT and Unitec will transition away from Te Pūkenga to become a single independent legal entity, as of January 1, 2026.  

What does that mean if I am currently studying with Unitec?

This will not impact your current programme of study with us. You will still be able to earn a qualification recognised both here and overseas.
 
You will continue learning the same programme you are enrolled with us to complete.
