Here's all the information you need to get started

HOW TO APPLY

Congratulations on taking the next step towards further study! Applications to enrol into our Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Studies are now closed. If you're interested in studying later in 2025 or 2026, please sign up for enrolment updates.

When you apply to enrol into a programme with Tuihono UC | UC Online you're applying to Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury. This means you'll be part of the University of Canterbury student body, and are eligible for a wide range of support and digital services.

 

Submit your StudyLink application ASAP

If you’re planning on using a StudyLink student loan to finance your study, we recommend applying as soon as possible. StudyLink can take up to a month to process your application, so submitting early gives you the best chance of having everything ready for the start of your learning.

 

Get your documentation ready

Before you start your application to enrol in the Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Studies, you'll need to prepare these documents:

  • Verified evidence of your identity, such as a certified copy of your birth certificate, or a certified copy of the photo page in your passport. There are additional requirements depending on your visa status, or if you have legally changed your name - for more information view full verification requirements.
