International Masters Qualifying Programme
Pathway course: to a Master’s programme at Charles Darwin University
International students who have already completed three years of post-secondary study in their home country but find their English language level a barrier to postgraduate study in Australia can now smoothly transition into a highly regarded English-language masters programme in one or two semesters through a combination of discipline-specific subjects with English language support.
Students get a deep understanding of the demands of postgraduate study and learn the processes, expectations and methods for success before their masters programme begins.
The Masters Qualifying Programme prepares international students for postgraduate study in many CDU postgraduate programmes.

UP Education
A pathway to university and a strong future At UP Education we open the door to an English-language university education.
Our difference lies in the way we combine specialised university entrance programmes and English language courses with personalised care and support for students studying away from home and family.
Pathways to success
We help students find pathways to success by getting them into the right courses and institutes to achieve their goals.
Our New Zealand-based Foundation Studies programmes prepare students for degree-level study. We offer:
The University of Auckland Certificate in Foundation Studies
AUT University Certificate in Foundation Studies
Victoria University of Wellington Foundation Studies Programme
We now also offer bridging programmes in Australia through our partnership with the University of Tasmania.
So that our New Zealand students have the right level of English language proficiency to complete Foundation Studies, we offer English language tuition at our Auckland-based English School, and The Campbell Institute, based in Wellington and Auckland.
A student-focused approach
Our student-focused approach to education prepares learners for success at English-language university. Students are encouraged to take responsibility for their learning, and are provided with the latest mobile technology to help them navigate the digital world.
Teachers of the highest quality
Our caring, experienced teachers take part in ongoing professional development to stay up to date with the latest innovations in learning and technology. We also have an independent appraisal system for staff that keeps teachers at the top of their field, and ensures the best outcomes for our students.
Strict academic standards
We teach Foundation Studies programmes on behalf of our partner universities, so our courses are set at an approved standard so that students can be successful at university.
While our focus is on seeing our students continue on to our university partners in either New Zealand or Australia, our qualifications help students gain entry into tertiary institutions all over the world.
Well-rounded students
Students come to UP Education to be academically successful but they will also learn about other cultures, including the culture of New Zealand and Australia. Subjects like Geography, History and Culture and Society help students explore local culture beyond the classroom.
