What foundation qualifications lead to

If you pass your foundation qualification, you:

• get a foundation certificate
• have met admission to study an undergraduate degree, certificate or diploma at Massey.

Some degrees have a selected entry process that you need to go through when you apply. Passing a foundation qualification does not guarantee that you will be able to study those degrees.
