The University and its vision
The University of Waikato holds a special place in the New Zealand
university system. Since its inception in 1964, when it was created
by the demands of the local community, this University has shown
a commitment to innovation and to serving the needs of its
community.
It has a proud Māori heritage with the highest proportion of Māori
students of any university in New Zealand and stands as a fine
example to New Zealand and the world of cultural partnerships in
tertiary education.
The University offers a broad range of qualifications and flexibility
in the composition of its degrees. Students are encouraged to
complete work placements or practicums during their study so they
graduate as competent all-rounders ready for careers in the global
market place.
Coupled with this is the University’s outstanding record in applied
research, successfully generating commercial and industry-linked
contestable research funding. This has been achieved through a high
level of engagement with the application of academic knowledge to
the solution of practical, real-world problems.
Our strategy is to provide a future-focussed curriculum and offer
a world-class student experience that is excellent and distinctive,
enhanced by ongoing investment in technology and campus
development.
The Hamilton campus is impressive, located on 65 hectares of parklike grounds, and work has begun on a new campus in Tauranga
where the University works with other tertiary providers in the Bay
of Plenty to deliver an ever-increasing range of qualifications.
