Guaranteed pathways to top universities in New Zealand
The Auckland Foundation Year (AFY) is a university preparation programme of the University of Auckland, taught at Taylors College in Auckland. On the programme you will study academic subjects, gain study skills, improve your English language level and receive specialist career skills support.
Once you have successfully completed the programme, you are guaranteed entry to University of Auckland and our two other partner universities; AUT and Massey University. Your foundation qualification will also be recognised by all other New Zealand universities and Group of Eight universities in Australia. Students from Taylors College Auckland have also gone to study in Europe and The USA.
A choice of programmes
You can choose from two different programme lengths, based on your academic skills and English language level - standard and intensive. If you need additional support before joining the Auckland Foundation Year we offer a Pre-Foundation Programme to provide you with the essential knowledge needed on the course. You can also study our English Language Preparation Programme before your foundation year to improve your English.
