UP Education has ten private colleges across Australasia, and is New Zealand’s largest independent tertiary education group.
Our portfolio of uniquely tailored learning environments provides much more than an educational foundation – we instil lifelong dynamic skills in our students, preparing them to take on everything their future holds. Through our vocational and higher learning our students are work-ready and world-ready.
Delivering Bachelor Degrees, Diplomas and Certificates, our offering spans creative industries, information technology, tourism, hospitality, management, trades and services, health, beauty and early childhood education.
Many of our vocational training students are second-chance learners, and we are recognised by government regulators for the exceptional learning and employment outcomes our vocational campuses achieve.
