UC International College (UCIC)

UC International College (UCIC) offers international students a supportive and culturally diverse environment where they can pursue their academic goals while building lasting friendships and preparing for successful careers. Located in New Zealand, UCIC provides students with an enriching experience shaped by the country’s welcoming communities, relaxed lifestyle, stunning natural landscapes, and vibrant cultural environment. The college offers a dedicated pathway to undergraduate study at the University of Canterbury. Its distinctive Diploma in University Studies (DipUS) is designed to align with the first-year curriculum of a University of Canterbury bachelor’s degree. Students who successfully complete the diploma can progress directly into the second year of their chosen degree programme. In addition to the DipUS, UCIC offers a Certificate in Foundation Studies for students preparing for university, two Pre-Master’s programmes, and Study Abroad opportunities. Each programme is delivered in a caring and supportive setting designed to encourage academic achievement, personal development, and a smooth transition to university study.
