Choosing a university

Ko tēhea te whare wānanga mōu?

All eight New Zealand universities are ranked in the top 3% of universities in the world and offer quality tertiary education and student support - so they're all good options!

​

A university is a community, offering support services and facilities on campus to help you achieve at your best and keep you motivated while you're on your study journey. Even if you are considering studying by distance, you can still access a range of support services.
