About Program

Welcome to the University of Waikato!
Our campuses are located in the cities of Hamilton and Tauranga, both in the heart of the North Island, making it a great hub to explore some of the best surfing, hiking, adventure spot and Māori culture in our stunning country.

The Study + Intern programme offers the opportunity to work part time with a local and New Zealand based organisation on a project aligned with your field of study. You'll gain 180 hours of hands-on, real world experience, boosting your employability both in New Zealand and globally. Want to earn credit for your internship? You can! Choose to complete a subject-specific internship paper for 15 Waikato points, officially recorded on your Waikato transcript. You will be enrolled in your academic courses alongside your internship, resulting in a higher workload overall.

Diversity & Inclusion 💙

The Rainbow Staff/Student Alliance is a group for staff and students and provides a forum for networking, discussion and progression of takatāpui and LGBTIQ+ issues.
Neurodivergent support is housed in our wider Accessibility support at the University of Waikato. They are a small dedicated team, with a strong focus on providing a quality robust service that works for the students who engage with us. Our aim is to provide all students at the University of Waikato chances to succeed academically regardless of whatever impairments they may be experiencing and to have the opportunity to have a positive and engaging student experience.
The University of Waikato is committed to providing equity in education and works to ensure that students with impairments have access to all areas of campus life and the student experience. Our Accessibility Service strives to make our University more inclusive and accessible as well as having equity of opportunity for success.

Although registration is welcome at any time, all students with impairments or support needs are encouraged to register with Accessibility Services before coming to University or very early in their studies.
