Join us online for all things applications!

As Term 3 gets underway students will be thinking about their study options for next year and starting applications for their preferred courses.

We encourage any rangatahi interested in Ara to join us online at one of our Application Evenings. These evenings will cover:

• The Ara application process
• Fees-free funding, scholarships
• Verifying ID documents
• Information about entry criteria (academic and additional requirements)
• Course closing dates and availability

There will also be the chance to chat about any questions you might have with an Engagement team member. We have a few upcoming dates, so make sure to attend one prior to when applications close for your preferred programme! These sessions are available either in person at our Madras Street campus, or online via Zoom. Register via the links below:
