Support our research

UC's research is guided by three Research Commitments that reflect our identity, our responsibilities, and the impact we seek to deliver for Aotearoa and the world. Together, they focus our work on flourishing communities, resilient environments, and equitable futures.

Some of the most important learning and research happens far beyond a laboratory or lecture theatre.

Your support can help ensure UC's field stations continue to provide exceptional opportunities for students and researchers for generations to come.

Donate to provide researchers with the resources they need to make innovative discoveries that address the issues we face in the world today and in the future. 

Donate to empower veterans to create new knowledge that supports other veterans, as well as providing opportunities for veterans to participate and advance in the workforce. 

UC’s research centres and institutes bring together researchers, students, specialist facilities and collaborators to tackle complex questions and create knowledge that can make a difference in Aotearoa New Zealand and around the world.

Your support can help researchers pursue new ideas, equip students to become the next generation of research leaders and accelerate discoveries with the potential to improve lives and shape our future.

Some opportunities at the University of Canterbury sit outside our traditional faculties, research centres and field stations.

These specialist areas bring together unique facilities, programmes, collections and initiatives that enrich teaching, research, student experience and our connection with the wider community.
