Master of Business and Management - Batch of 2025

Offered by University of Waikato

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 and good scholarship opportunities. 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.

Bachelor of Science in Mathematics - Batch of 2027

Offered by University of Waikato

First-year student and an inclusive experience at Waikato University

Tips: I have become more disciplined, independent, and open to everyone. I have changed the way I think as well, since there are many races here, and I have to carefully choose the right words to respect them, which is good because it allows me to make friends all over the globe, try the signature food and so on. There aren’t many scholarships here for international students, but there are some. Most students have to compete with local students or the entire class for the scholarship to get the highest marks, which is difficult. I got a $2500 scholarship for not failing any classes during my foundation program, which was an achievement for me. However, I haven’t checked what kind of scholarships are available for a bachelor’s degree, and there don’t seem to be any for science majors.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): Since few people are living here, a huge chance to occupy their remaining space. Close to nature and lots of beautiful scenery to go hiking or bla, ideal town for nature people. However, everything is just quite boring, and quite spare and still underdeveloped compared to Australia and Singapore.

Dislikes (Part time work): There are a few available volunteer and paid jobs within the school campus, but jobs are rare outside. I listened to all the struggle of my friends who went through tons of interviews and CV review seminars just to get a single position at a KFC or McDonald’s. That's just how hard things are in this sparsely populated town, with few residents and even fewer jobs.

Master of Business and Management - Batch of 2025

Offered by University of Waikato

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.
