• Find out about fees for postgraduate study at UC.
• There are a number of scholarships for engineering students. See the College of Engineering webpages for more details.
• Explore the scholarships database for all funding opportunities.

The Mechanical Engineering department has limited places available for visiting research assistants. Placements are routinely for six months and students do not need to be enrolled at the University.

How do I get started?

Explore our individual research interests and existing research groups, and contact research leaders. It is best to contact individual staff members directly to discuss project opportunities. If the supervisor agrees to supervise your research you will receive a formal letter of invitation.

For other administrative inquiries contact mechanicalengineering@canterbury.ac.nz.

Which visa do I apply for and how?

You need to apply for a student and trainee work visa, as you will not be formally enrolled at UC. For further information go to the Immigration New Zealand webpage.

How do I organise accommodation?

You can arrange accommodation on campus or in the Christchurch area. Please contact the Accommodation Manager before your arrival to check availability.

What do I need to pay for during my study at Canterbury?

You will need to pay for your living expenses in New Zealand (accommodation, food, travel expenses).
