Future pathways/Career options
Future pathways/Career options
English continues to be an essential component of most study and career options. It is essential for gaining University Entrance Literacy. Details of UE requirements can be found at www.nzqa.govt.nz
The Year 13 course is recommended for those intending university study, especially in the humanities, but increasingly several other courses such as health sciences are demanding a high level of English achievement as a prerequisite. The course is a specialised one and leads on to university courses in language, literature, film studies and journalism. It is a valuable stepping stone to any profession that requires sophisticated communication skills.
