Introduce School
The MUC course is operated by Kaplan. Founded in 1982, Kaplan is a world-class educational foundation that has been providing a wide range of English courses for students and professionals, and operates dozens of English schools in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and other countries.
Founded in New Zealand in 1984, the Auckland campus is located near Domain Park, where the Auckland Museum is located. Surrounded by shops, bars and cafes, and close to Newmarket, the best shopping area about 10 minutes from downtown Auckland, you can enjoy New Zealand’s nature and cultural life at the same time (*Newmarket Campus is currently closed due to Corona). It is by far one of the largest academies in Auckland in terms of the courses offered, the facilities on campus, and the quality of the teachers’ classes. It also offers attentive student services and a variety of after-school activities to match its size.
School Features
Kaplan has a systematic education system that is recognized worldwide, so if you study English at Kaplan and reach a certain level, there is an English Pathway course that will allow you to enter university directly without an IELTS score. Successful completion of Kaplan’s English Pathway course through a partnership with the university will grant you direct admission to 8 universities in New Zealand without IELTS.
