Through our own research, as well as our collaborations with world leading research institutes such as Plant & Food Research and AgResearch, we have more academics producing world-class research than any other New Zealand university relative to size.

We have lots of special support for international students on campus, such as the International Office, which supports students with programme and course advice and helps them through the University’s applications and enrolment processes, and International Student Advisors who can help with any issue or concern, whether it’s personal, legal, social, cultural, or financial.

Our English for Academic Purpose (EAP) course also gives you the language and skills necessary for university study at undergraduate or postgraduate level.
