Diversity of thinking, enterprise and quality of life are highly valued in New Zealand and these values underpin the experience of living here.

Our unique Geography

New Zealand’s landscape contains an unrivalled variety of landforms. In a single day’s drive it is possible to see mountain ranges, isolated beaches, native forest, glacial lakes, fiords and volcanoes.

A strong tourism industry makes travelling simple. The country has a broad community of conservationists and New Zealanders are respectful toward natural environments.

Around one-third of the total land area is protected conservation land, including 13 national parks, three maritime parks, two world heritage areas, hundreds of nature reserves and ecological areas and a network of marine reserves and wetlands. New Zealand is relatively free of pollution, unlike many developed Western countries and it is nuclear-free.

Our ever-changing environment

Compared to continental climates, New Zealand’s temperature range is without extremes of hot and cold. Weather can change unexpectedly however, adding to the dynamics of each season. New Zealand’s high rainfall is evenly spaced throughout the year, producing vibrant areas of farmland and forest. Levels of humidity are very low and there are many hours of sunshine.

Our People

With a population of just four million, compared to some 128 million in Japan and 60 million in the UK, both roughly the same landmass, New Zealand provides plenty of room to breathe. It is one of the world’s safest places in which to live. Its society is based on a commitment to freedom of speech and human rights. Students who come to New Zealand feel a strong sense of freedom – to speak, travel, study and interact.

Our Lifestyle

The cost of living in New Zealand is lower than in many European and American cities. A welldeveloped economy provides the advantage of competitive costs for accommodation, transport, food and entertainment.

Our Heritage

New Zealand is a member of the British Commonwealth, yet is home to many different cultures. It has long been a sovereign nation in its own right. Its education system is modelled on the highly successful British framework and adapted to a unique approach toward learning –one which emphasises creative thought and heightened world knowledge.

The political and cultural heartbeat of New Zealand

International students are warmly welcomed to New Zealand’s capital city: multi-cultural and well connected, full of bright, open-minded people. It is ideal for students who may have limited English skills and who wish to practise in a supportive environment.

Cultural diversity: Wellington’s cultural diversity is a celebration point and festivals are hosted all year round – with spectacular performances, parades, delicious food and street stalls.

The city’s creative community is especially dynamic, enjoying festivals for food, art,
literature and theatre. Wellington’s strong interest in film also draws one of the biggest annual film festivals in the world. Wellington’s unique scenery continues to attract filmmakers from around the globe.

Recreational opportunities: Your options for recreation and sport are enhanced by the city’s location. Close to sea, hills and forest, it offers plenty of ways to get active. Victoria University Students’ Association organises many clubs which are free, or reasonably priced, to join. Popular choices include kayaking, hiking and mountain biking.

Some clubs arrange trips to other regions of New Zealand, such as the hiking tracks of Mt Tongariro or the ski fields of Mt Ruapehu. Victoria’s Recreation Centre organises plenty of popular team sports, including soccer, basketball and rugby. You can play to win, or just have fun. Either way, you will meet friends and enrich your experience at Victoria.

A beautiful city: Wellington is one of the most beautiful cities in New Zealand. The inner city, central suburbs and harbour are encircled by the Town Belt, a 4,250-hectare natural reserve on the first line of hills, incorporating many parks and walkways.

This dark-green sweep is a vital part of Wellington’s identity. Wellington’s distinctive architecture creates a feeling of accommodation and sanctuary. A small number of factories also means that Wellington is environmentally friendly. Wellington’s air is pure and its water is clean.

Excellent public transport: Wellington’s hilly geography focuses its main amenities and activities on its compact city centre. This means that most international students living in University accommodation or close to campus simply walk to any where they need to be.

Wellington also enjoys excellent public transport. Victoria’s campuses are connected by a very dependable bus service; a large network of buses enables you to travel around the city and to wider suburbs; and taxi services run at all hours.

Kelburn Campus is linked to Lambton Quay – the business and shopping centre of Wellington – by an historic cable car that runs every ten minutes. The cable car is a charming, reliable way to arrive at lectures on time from the city.

A safe place to live: Wellington is one of the safest cities in the world to live. Its urban design favours people and community over cars and traffic. Civic Square, Cuba Street Mall and Queen’s Wharf are popular centres, where people can walk, rest or gather for events in a traffic-free, colourful space. Services are in place to help people get around as safely as possible, such as Walkwise or City Information, who can help if you need directions.

The capital: At the centre of government, Wellington has a network of important national institutions, including ministries, courts, libraries, archives and the Te Papa museum. Its business and governmental district sets Wellington at the heart of national and international affairs. As the nation’s capital, it is the chosen venue for many international conferences, sporting events and concerts.

Wellington is also the centre of prestigious performers: the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra and the Royal New Zealand Ballet both call Wellington home. Numerous art galleries exhibit contemporary international and New Zealand works and the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, New Zealand’s bold and innovative national museum, curates the nation’s extensive historic national art collection.

For study, research and life experience, the city is a live wire of information, with a strong awareness of its history and a keen dialogue with current events. Over 55% of Wellington’s working population has a tertiary qualification – the city is motivated and energised by the intelligent vision of its people.

As New Zealand’s vibrant capital city, Wellington is alive with culture. From an exciting range of annual festivals and events to a lively night life, Wellington is a great place to study – and play!

New Zealand is a peaceful country with a high-level educational standard and
lovely, friendly people.

I came to Victoria for two main reasons, firstly, because New Zealand – as a leader in the treatment of indigenous issues – has deeply developed the study of the Treaty of Waitangi.

I lived in Rapa Nui for seven years and my interest as a lawyer is to study the analogous Chilean case, the Act of Annexation of 1888.

Secondly, because I have always wanted to live in an English-speaking country. New Zealand gathered all these features!

Victoria is simply perfect. It has everything available for you, computers, facilities, people always striving to make you feel comfortable.

New Zealand is a peaceful country with a high level educational standard and lovely, friendly people. I highly recommend those with families to study at Victoria University.

With the arts and culture, Wellington is a fun place to live. There’s always something interesting happening.

I wanted to get out and see a different country but I didn’t want to take a gap year and risk never going back to school, so I decided to look at universities overseas. I chose Victoria for its good mix of classes. I was able to major in both Linguistics and Psychology and study Japanese.

The student body is large and diverse so there’s something for everyone. It’s easy to meet people from different countries, people who have traveled and worked in many different places and are interested in all kind of things. You can learn a lot from the people you meet.

The combination of the student and greater-Wellington communities adds to the vibrancy of the city. With the arts and culture, Wellington is a fun place to live. There’s always something interesting happening.

Studying: PhD in Human Resource Management

Victoria University has never failed my expectations, my time here has been
enjoyable and valuable.

When I decided to study overseas, New Zealand and Victoria University were the first on my list. New Zealand is renowned for being a beautiful country with friendly people, and Victoria is internationally recognised as a tertiary institution focused on academic excellence.

I have completed a BCA, the Honours programme and have started a PhD in Human Resource Management. I expect my degrees from Victoria, an institution with a world-class research record, will open up new international career opportunities for me.

My time here has been very enjoyable and valuable. I have received a quality education, achieved academic successes, been employed as a tutor and made great friends. Wellington has a lively, cheerful vibe, you can’t beat this wonderful city on a sunny day – it is paradise.

I really like the mix of cultures. I’ve met people from all corners of the world.

New Zealand’s got everything really: breathtaking scenery, vibrant cities, good security, friendly people, and the cost of living is lower compared to other countries like England or Australia. It’s hard to find a better combination of factors conducive for studying.

I really like the mix of cultures. I’ve met people from all corners of the world. There’s just the right balance of internationals and locals, so you don’t feel totally lost in an unfamiliar place. At the same time, you get to experience a whole new lifestyle and way of thinking.

I would probably stay and work here for a year or two. Beyond that, who knows? The world’s my oyster, and I’ve got a well-recognised degree as a passport.

Victoria University of Wellington-Where exceptional scholarship and original thought connect.

Victoria is known for its internationally significant research. The University is New Zealand’s leading research and development centre in many key international growth areas including bioscience, Earth processes, materials science, built environments, business, law, creative research, and policy, governance and society.

There are over 40 research institutes and centres at Victoria, each undertaking challenges of international and national concern. Victoria hosts a government-funded Centre of Research Excellence and is partner to three others.

This research plays a vital role in the teaching programmes at Victoria, where students learn from the knowledge and experience of highly motivated scholars and are invited to share in a tradition of discovery and excellence.

In 1899, Victoria University was pioneered by four professors, led by the popular scholar Richard Maclaurin. Following study at Cambridge University, Maclaurin made major contributions to science while studying for his PhD at Wurzburg, Germany, working alongside the brilliant scientist Emil Fischer. Maclaurin’s passion for research, his commitment to university development and his academic expertise are defining features of Victoria today.

A degree from Victoria University emphasises that scholarship continues well beyond university. Students acquire skills that give them the confidence to turn their scholarship into a career.

Victoria graduates consistently enjoy one of the highest employment rates of graduates from any New Zealand university and are employed by many prestigious companies and businesses nationally and abroad. Victoria graduates possess qualities that are highly desirable.

They are focused, resourceful and forward thinking. Their ideas solve problems and propel industries. A degree from Victoria is the foundation of a career.

Victoria PhD Scholarship: These scholarships have an annual stipend for living costs of NZ$21,000 plus tuition fees for up to three years. Approximately 75 full scholarships are available each year over three rounds.

Closing dates for PhD funding are 1 March, 1 July and 1 November. From 2010 there will be a single application form for applying for PhD admission and funding. It is essential to check for any changes to the application process on the website before you submit your application.

Applicants for a Victoria PhD Scholarship may be offered alternative funding in the form of a Victoria Doctoral Assistantship which has an annual stipend of NZ$15,000 plus tuition fees for up to three years and includes an offer of employment as a Research Assistant or Tutor up to the value of $5,000 per annum.

Up to 30 are available each year. Applicants for Victoria PhD Scholarships are considered for both awards.

Scholarships: These targeted PhD scholarships are offered in areas of research that are of strategic importance to the University. There is only one round and topics are available from 1 March each year.

The scholarships have an annual stipend for living costs of NZ$21,000 plus tuition fees for up to three years.

Approximately 10 scholarships are awarded each year in advertised topics only. Applicants must clearly state which of the topics they wish
to apply for.

The PhD thesis is a major piece of original research. It demonstrates the candidate’s ability to carry out independent research and is a significant contribution to the knowledge of a field of study. It requires considerable dedication and tenacity.

Supervision for PhD research is offered in most subject areas taught at Victoria. After a minimum of two years supervised research, the PhD is earned by thesis. PhD theses normally require at least three years for full completion.

Victoria is one of New Zealand’s most significant research institutions, spending a substantial proportion of its total budget on research. Our researchers have won major grants in a highly competitive environment and publish in leading international journals and with the top academic publishers.

International PhD students pay domestic tuition fees when they are supervised by leading researchers at a New Zealand university.

Government policy allows children of a PhD student to attend school without paying international student fees. The spouse/partner of the PhD student will also automatically be granted a work permit for the period in which the PhD student is studying in New Zealand.

Victoria Doctoral Completion Awar ds: PhD candidates at Victoria University are eligible for additional funding up to NZ$6,000 in the period immediately following submission of their thesis for examination providing the PhD thesis is submitted within 42 months of first registration.

This support is to enable candidates to attend an oral examination if required and to prepare their research for eventual publication. The funding is available only if the candidate remains in New Zealand during the examination period.

Victoria Master’s (by thesis) Scholarships: These scholarships currently have a stipend for living costs of NZ$15,000 plus domestic tuition fees for one year. Please note: Master’s (by thesis) fees are charged at international fee levels, so students must pay the difference between domestic and international tuition fees.

Approximately 34 scholarships are offered each year.
The closing date is 1 November.

Victoria Graduate Awards: These awards are available to Honours students and students working on their Master’s by coursework. This award pays the equivalent of domestic tuition fees, up to $5,000, and is available for one year.

International students must pay the difference between domestic and international tuition fees. Approximately 100 awards are available annually.

Many international students choose to study for a term shorter than a full degree programme, as part of a study abroad or exchange programme.

STUDY ABROAD: Study Abroad students study at Victoria University for one or two trimesters and can have their study credited back to their home degree. Students can select courses from across Victoria’s seven Faculties.

This provides a perfect opportunity to learn about New Zealand culture and society through subject areas such as New Zealand History or Māori Studies, or to complement a home degree with subjects upon which New Zealand offers a unique perspective, such as Political Science or Earth Science.

Study Abroad students are encouraged to see and do as much as possible during their stay in New Zealand. Travelling through the North and South Islands is easy from Wellington’s central location and the fabulous scenery, marine reserves and national parks are accessible on both islands.

EXCHANGE: Victoria University has student exchange agreements with prestigious universities all over the world, including those in Asia, Europe and North and South America.

Each year Victoria welcomes a number of students from its partner institutions. Exchange students pay tuition at the home institution and have fees waived at the host institution and are able to select courses from all Faculties.

For a complete list of Victoria’s partner institutions, see page 47. If your university is listed, contact your home International Office to find out more information.

Preparation for Study

FOUNDATION STUDIES: Victoria University’s Certificate in Foundation Studies is an eightmonth programme. It is designed to teach English language proficiency and academic skills that are required for students to gain entry to university and to succeed in degree study.

The Foundation Studies programme provides an intensive learning environment, where well-qualified and experienced teachers ensure that all students receive high levels of support and tuition. The classes foster independent learning and group communication skills.

Programmes begin three times a year in February, June and October. The programme comprises six courses spread over two trimesters. Every week there are 24 hours of class time, and students are encouraged to spend 20 hours per week in unsupervised study.

Successful completion of the Certificate in Foundation Studies will guarantee admission to the first year of any degree programme at Victoria University. The Certificate is also recognised as an entrance qualification by all New Zealand universities.

The English Language Institute offers 12-week, full-time English Proficiency courses to help students develop their English language skills and language learning strategies.

The Institute’s highly qualified staff have had professional experience in many parts of the world, including the Pacific, Asia, Africa, Europe and North America – and have taught students from over 90 countries.

Students take English Proficiency courses for a range of reasons. Most aim to prepare for tertiary study; all aim to be challenged in the use of English; and a few aim to improve their employment prospects.

The courses are for students at an intermediate level (minimum IELTS 4.0) or above. To better prepare for university study, some students may need to combine two or three courses into a 24- or 36-week programme of intensive English.

English Language Institute proficiency ratings are accepted as an alternative to IELTS or TOEFL by Victoria and other universities for admission to Foundation Studies, undergraduate and postgraduate programmes.

The Victoria International Leadership Programme (VILP) is an extra-curricular opportunity for students to enhance their global competency, intercultural awareness and leadership potential while studying for a degree at Victoria.

The first of its kind in New Zealand, the programme requires participants to attend seminars, speaker events and experiential activities that run over the length of a degree programme. These follow the themes of global leadership, interconnectedness, sustainability and cross-cultural communication.

The Programme enables students to better understand pressing global issues and develop valuable skills of interest to employers around the world. VILP is open to all students free of charge and, upon successful completion, is acknowledged on their academic record.

FIRST DEGREES: First degrees are also called undergraduate degrees, or Bachelor degrees. The degree is awarded when a certain programme of university study is complete.

Most first degrees take three years to complete and require at least one subject major. A high quality first degree is essential if postgraduate study is to be considered.

POINTS: Degrees at Victoria work on a points system. To complete a degree, a certain number of points must be gained. Points are gained when a course is sucessfully completed.

The total needed for a typical three-year degree is 360. When 360 points are reached, with sufficient points at each level, the degree is complete.

MAJORS: A major is the specialty subject of a degree. For example, a Bachelor of Arts degree can have a major in History and a Bachelor of Science degree can have a major in Physics.

DOUBLE AND CONJOINT DEGREES: Students can study for two degrees at the same time and many choose to take a double degree. For example, a Bachelor of Laws can be complemented with a Bachelor of Arts. A number of courses count towards both degrees and this is called crosscrediting.

A double degree normally takes five years to complete.

A conjoint degree is a specialised, accelerated double degree that can be considered by more able students. Victoria offers conjoint degrees in Teacher Education and a conjoint Bachelor of Commerce and Administration with a Bachelor of Science.

POSTGRADUATE DEGREES: To do postgraduate study at Victoria normally requires a high quality first degree, with a major in the same area of study as the postgraduate degree. However, all applications are considered.

A Bachelor with Honours degree is two trimesters of full-time study. This can be followed by a Master’s degree, which usually takes one year of research. Victoria graduates also have the opportunity of increased involvement in their chosen field through a variety of Diploma and Master’s programmes.

In addition, Victoria offers PhD programmes for doctoral study in almost all disciplines.

TEACHING AND ASSESSMENT: First-year courses usually have three 50-minute lectures per week.

There is also one tutorial or laboratory/ studio session per week. In tutorials, smaller groups of students meet with a tutor to discuss work covered in lectures. A laboratory or studio is a longer, hands-on class, where students may work more actively together.

For most courses, work is assessed by a combination of essays, in-class tests and exams.

THE ACADEMIC YEAR: The academic year begins in February. Most students begin studying in February and study for two trimesters each year – from February to November.

You may, however, choose to study over the summer trimester (November to February). Some courses, particularly at postgraduate level, are not offered over the summer trimester.

Trimester 1: February – June
Trimester 2: July – November
Trimester 3: November – February (summer trimester).

Students who already have a tertiary-level qualification or even part of one may be eligible for academic credit transfer and/or exemptions from required courses at Victoria.

Academic credit transfer recognises previous study at another recognised institution and adds university points (credit) to a degree at Victoria University.

Credit transfer can make a difference to the number of courses required to complete a degree. In some cases, it may be possible to complete a degree in two years, instead of three.

Any student who has more than the minimum entrance requirements for an undergraduate degree can apply for credit transfer.

When completing the Application for

Admission, you must mark on the form that you want to be considered for credit transfer. Full official documentation from previous studies must be provided. This includes an original academic transcript, signed and dated by the issuing institution, or a certified copy of the original. Detailed course descriptions of previous study are also required.

All documentation must be sent to Victoria International.

EXEMPTION: An exemption is offered to students who have completed a course that is equivalent to one offered at Victoria University. An exemption from a specific course means that the course does not need to be taken to meet prerequisite, major or degree requirements.

Instead, it can be substituted for another course. An exemption does not necessarily carry credit or points.

To apply for an exemption, you need to send detailed course descriptions of previous study along with your Application for Admission to Victoria International.
Applications for credit transfer and exemptions must be made at least six weeks before the enrolment date.

This will enable a full assessment to be made, and allow you plenty of time to plan an appropriate programme of study. The credit assessment process usually takes between 3-6 weeks.

School of Engineering and Computer Science

The new School of Engineering and Computer Science teaches the four specialisations of the Bachelor of Engineering (BE) and the Computer Science major for the BSc, a range of Master’s programmes and supervision for PhD research in all areas of its teaching.

The focus of the School is the rapid innovation made possible by the accelerating capability of technologies such as electronics, optics, magnetics, software tools, and networks.

The School’s programmes are designed so its graduates emerge as skilled professionals, both scientists and engineers, who are technically innovative, skilled problem-solvers, good communicators and able to take a leading role in future developments in their fields.

The Bachelor of Engineering

Victoria’s BE is a four year professional degree focused on the design and implementation of real world systems, and including an essential grounding in management skills, and offered in the four specialisations outlined below.

A work placement in a relevant industry is part of the degree, typically taken in the summers following the second and third years of study. Part of this placement can be taken outside of New Zealand with approval. This along with a group project in the third year and a research or industry driven project in the fourth gives experience with the practical aspects of engineering design and development.

Computer System Engineering

the combination of hardware and software techniques to develop innovative solutions to engineering problems. It will be enhanced by drawing on techniques from digital electronics, embedded controllers, software development, industrial design and artificial intelligence.

These techniques will be extended to develop solutions in both mechatronics and robotics. Electronic Engineering – the development of effective solutions to engineering problems using electronics, including both digital and analogue electronics, power electronics, communication electronics and devices.

Graduates will have the opportunity to work at the cutting edge of the design and development of electronic engineering.

Network Engineering – the design of distributed and networked solutions, including the full range of modern communication technologies, network protocols, middleware and software development. Graduates will be able to design, build and configure modern networks and networked applications. The programme is unique in New Zealand and emphasises the interaction between networks, networked applications and their environment.

Software Engineering – the design, implementation and maintenance of software systems that behave reliably and efficiently and are affordable to develop and maintain. The programme emphasises rigorous software development for both small and large scale systems and presents flexible and agile developments, including a range of methods and tools. There is an added emphasis on human factors in design.

BSc in Computer Science

The BSc in Computer Science shares much of the design and implementation focus of the BE. However, it is a much more flexible degree with fewer specific requirements in its three years. The Computer Science major is easily combined with a second major from any other first degree. The Computer Science major consists of a collection of courses that generally gives a broader appreciation of the possibilities of computer science.

Victoria is home to one of New Zealand’s oldest and most respected Law Schools, a stimulating centre for study that draws particular focus from its proximity to government and the courts. Housed in the historic Government Buildings of inner-city Wellington, adjacent to Parliament, the courts and the Central Business District, the Victoria Law School is a unique centre for students, researchers, policy-makers and practitioners.

At the undergraduate level, Victoria’s distinctive curriculum teaches students how to think legally, using the many facets of the law to equip them with portable skills of reasoning and analysis. Victoria Law graduates apply these skills in careers in law, politics, business and government.

The postgraduate programme is under constant development in response to changes in the law, the demands of students and the School’s own research. International, public and commercial law are offered each year, along with courses in other topics such as cyber law, environmental law and legal history. Faculty, international visitors and practising lawyers contribute to a wide programme of lectures and conferences.

Student-led seminars provide a forum for analysis of current legal issues and result in a substantial body of research – some of which is published in the VUW Law Review and other academic journals.

All students are also welcome to attend the lectures held by the Faculty’s two research centres: New Zealand Centre for Public Law and the New Zealand Centre of International Economic Law.

The unknown is infinite. Victoria’s Faculty of Science is fuelled by a spirit of exploration, guided by the known.

Located within the Faculty are the MacDiarmid Institute for Nanotechnology and Advanced Materials, New Zealand’s top research institute in Material Science, and the Malaghan Institute for Medical Research, New Zealand’s largest private medical research institute – to name but two of Victoria’s significant research centres.

These, together with a location in the city with New Zealand’s largest concentration of scientists, recognises the Faculty of Science as a leader in the international science community.

The Faculty is led by staff who have a reputation for standing at the cutting edge of discovery: among its alumni is distinguished graduate the late Professor Alan MacDiarmid, 2000 Nobel Laureate in Chemistry. Exceptional laboratory facilities that extend to geological and biological field stations, a new Coastal Ecology Laboratory on Wellington’s south coast and a research marine vessel, combined with excellent student support and work opportunities, enable Victoria’s Science graduates to achieve well beyond their own expectations.

The newly revised BSc enables students to take a second major from outside science and still complete the degree in three years.
