Master of Business and Management - Batch of 2025
4.2
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.

A supportive and enriching learning environment at Waikato.
Tips: Waikato is a diverse and supportive environment that provides a smooth cultural transition, good scholarship opportunities, and an overall highly satisfying academic experience. The university itself is full of diverse and interesting people. One can meet people from all over the world, and the campus truly provides a great space to interact with others. The supportive environment offered by the university and the students is what really stands out, and one can really find friends for life there. The university provides a multitude of resources for students, including a counselling and support service, the Learning Development Centre, and the Waikato library. These, among other things, are what make this a great university. This has been a life-changing journey that has grown both professionally and personally. There are a few available volunteer and paid jobs within the school campus, but jobs are rare outside.

A supportive faculty and a vibrant student life.
Tips: They must know about the courses they are studying and will be taking, about the papers they are going to take. The ranking of the college, the number of programs being offered, and how long the college has existed. About the quality of teaching and the faculty and about the fee structure.

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.

4.4
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.

The availability and connectivity for part-time jobs are unsatisfactory.
Tips: I had lots of cultural shocks, mostly all good. I received a scholarship of 7500 NZD, which was through my agent. I would suggest thoroughly researching immigration, especially when applying with an agent. I would also suggest paying the full course fee and getting all living expenses transferred for the entire duration. Overall, I am very satisfied with my decision.
Likes (Indian Food): So, I'm not a big fan of Indian food. There are many restaurants offering it, but the taste is quite different, often sweeter. However, the food can be customised. The pricing is high, so I prefer cooking for myself. But fast food joints like McDonald's and Domino's are cheaper.
Dislikes (Part time work): The availability and connectivity for part-time jobs are unsatisfactory. While some courses include internships, mine does not. Consequently, job searching is difficult, as the market is saturated. The university offers many volunteer opportunities, but I received little to no support in securing a part-time position, although they do assist with CVs and interview preparation.
