Master of Business and Management - Batch of 2025

The university is diverse and has a lot of events on-campus for students.

Tips: The school has a very supportive environment. The faculty is good and very helpful. I was also lucky to get an excellence scholarship of $10,000 to help me pay my tuition and other expenses. The best part about the University of Waikato and New Zealand, in general, is that it is easy to make friends. Everyone is so welcoming and ready to help. Go for it, you won't regret it. I can highly recommend the Master of Business and Management at the University of Waikato.

Master of Business and Management - Batch of 2025

A perfect blend of academics, events and culture.

Tips: Students should be ready for a diverse, rigorous, and rewarding experience. The cultural shift was smooth with supportive peers. I received a merit-based scholarship through academic performance. Student life is vibrant, with a perfect mix of academics and fun. My day includes classes, club meetings, and hangouts. Fests, workshops, and cultural events happen often. I enjoy bonding with peers the most. There are clubs for tech, culture sports and more.

Dislikes (Safety): The faculty is highly knowledgeable, approachable, and supportive. They're always open to questions, even outside class. Their use of case studies, real-world examples, and interactive sessions makes learning engaging. Most faculty are Indian, with a few international.

Think beyond the classroom.

Tips: Students should research well before choosing a course and campus. Coming here was a big change and it made me more financially independent. There were cultural differences but not cultural socks. I did not receive any scholarships.

Good quality of education and management.

Tips: If you are an international student who wants to study in New Zealand and you have enough points in your English test, I recommend that you attend a university that offers affordable tuition. Waikato is an excellent option, but it's very expensive compared to other schools. but it provides excellent and high-quality education and support resources, which is very helpful to students from out of the country.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): It's very easy for specific Masters students and Ph.D. students to settle in New Zealand because immigration law is more liberal there than in other countries, which is an advantage for international students who want to settle in New Zealand and secure permanent residence or citizenship.

Dislikes (Student Life): They are giving us just basic guidance for internships, nothing more. They created a job portal for every student, but it’s completely useless and doesn’t help at all. And if you are trying to find jobs directly in the market, then it’s a very big task. You need a very good reference to get a good job.

Highly qualified faculty and education.

Tips: It’s a good university and excellent value for money, especially for business and research courses. The living cost is fine, and the area is quiet, but part-time jobs are hard to come by right now. This university has everything people could expect in a university. Make sure to fully utilise the resources provided by the university. We have many on-campus events. I take part in them to actively build connections.
