The Next Step to Your Future at UC

Tena koutou katoa. Nau mai, tauti mai, welcome to Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | the University of Canterbury.

Congratulations on making it to the start of Semester One!

The next three or four, or more, years here at UC will be life changing for you, and we hope you have a wonderful time.

While lectures, assignments and studying are all really important, you should also make time to get involved in the student clubs, the campus life, and other events and activities.

There are heaps of people in the diverse UC whānau who can tautoko | support you throughout your studies, so if there is anything you aren’t sure about or you have any questions – please ask for help!

Watch the video above to learn more about all the tautoko | support services available to help you succeed.

It’s great to have you here with us – good luck and have a brilliant year (and don't stress out if something doesn't go to plan!)
