The University of Waikato

The University of Waikato is a comprehensive university established in 1964 in New Zealand. From the beginning, it was envisaged that Māori studies should be a key feature of the new university, and the Centre for Māori Studies and Research was set up in its School of Social Sciences in 1972. With a diverse student population of students coming from more than 85 different countries, the University of Waikato offers a welcoming and vibrant garden campus environment where students are encouraged to study and play. Beyond academic life, the institution has an international student support team who is dedicated to help international students with life outside the classroom as well as organize social events to connect students and the wider community. The university is ranked 375^th in the QS World University Rankings.
