Campus tours
Visiting the UC campus on Rā Tōmene | Open Day will provide the best opportunity to experience UC as so much is happening that day. (If you come for more than one day, this will also give you time to tour the city or spread your hall tours over to the day before or after.)
If you're unable to join us for Rā Tōmene | Open Day you can book in for a campus tour. If the scheduled campus tour dates don't suit, you can take a self-guided tour or virtual tour to explore our campus online instead.
