Welcome to the University of Canterbury
I am delighted that you are exploring what the University of Canterbury has to offer international students. I believe that as a study destination our combination of world-recognised academic programmes, wonderful natural environment, and safe, friendly community has few equals anywhere in the world.
The overwhelmingly warm response we get from past international graduates, many of them now leaders in business and in the community in their home countries, is ample testimony to the quality of our teaching and the value of our first degree programmes.
The calibre of our research, especially at postgraduate level, is another factor that brings many international students to Canterbury.
Whether you are an undergraduate seeking an initial qualification to equip you for the future, or a postgraduate wanting to push the boundaries of knowledge in your discipline, I am sure you will find what you need among our programmes.
