2020 was a year of extraordinary challenges for the University of Canterbury (UC), as it was for many, yet we found many new opportunities and fast-forwarded plans to provide a more accessible, flexible education for our students, while contributing innovative research to the fight against Covid-19.

The UC community showed commitment and innovation as we navigated the unpredictability of the year, all while affirming our commitment to high-quality learning, teaching and research.

Despite the impact of closed borders, leading to a fall in international enrolments, UC’s efforts across the board meant the University can report a deficit of just $575,000 for 2020.
