Leaving school and enrolling at a tertiary institution is a big step in one’s life and making the right choices early on is definitely a major stress reliever. In New Zealand there are a number of different types of institutions that you could attend. The first two, which probably come to mind, are universities and polytechnics. It is quite probable that you may be having some difficulty deciding whether you should go to tech or varsity. Some of the differences between the two institution types include the minimum requirements, type of courses or work covered and most importantly the qualification at the end of the road.

Most universities offer the PPE: (Politics, Philosophy and Economics) degree or variations of it. We here at uniFriend believe
it is an extremely valuable option to consider for those who do not have a
specific idea of what to study or for learners who have a passion for current
affairs and politics. If you choose to study this degree, we believe it can offer
people a variety of job opportunities.

What is a qualification?
A qualification is the formal recognition and certification awarded by an accredited institution. The volume of learning required for a qualification can be specified in terms of the total minimum number of credits required for a specific qualification. Credits are calculated according to the number of notional study hours required for achieving the learning outcomes specified for the qualification. One credit is equal to ten notional study hours in this calculation.
