Schools and Community Engagement

We liaise with secondary school students, parents, guardians, school careers advisers and the community.

We provide key information about University study options and entry requirements. We engage with the wider community both digitally and in person, with whanau information evenings throughout New Zealand and school careers events. We also offer on-campus or digital appointments for parents and students. These can include tours of the campus and halls of residence.

International students should contact the International Office for relevant information.
