A supportive faculty and a vibrant student life.

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.

Fests, workshops, and cultural events happen often. I enjoy bonding with peers the most. There are clubs for tech, culture, sports and more. Overall, I'm fully satisfied with my course...

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 highes...

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. It's very easy for specific Masters students and Ph.D. students to settle in New Zealand b...

Supportive and career-oriented learning in a friendly environment.

Tips: Before joining, students should know that the system in New Zealand is very self-directed. Moving abroad, there will definitely be a cultural shift. You're expected to take initiative, manage time efficiently, and communicate openly with professors. The university provides good academics and opportunities to work on real-life projects. Take advantage of student communities and student bodies in case you're struggling with things. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my experiences.

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. Overall, everything is good, and I am quite satisfied with my experiences.
