Study opportunities

Study Abroad is for students who want to study at UC for one or more semesters as part of their overseas degree. UC is an internationally recognised institution in Christchurch, the gateway to New Zealand's stunning South Island. Our lakes, mountains, and native forest provide a magical adventure playground. See what it's like to study with us.

UC's Language and Cultural Exchange (LACE) is a flexible, social programme for all UC students who want to engage in mutual language and cultural learning. It's a great way to develop global networks, practice a new language, or prepare for an overseas trip. Find out more and apply online!

With Tāroia | UC's Global Exchange Programme you can do one or two semesters of coursework study at a UC partner university overseas! This lets you immerse yourself in another culture, and get international experience before you graduate. Drop in for a weekly information seminar during Semester 2 (before 1 September) to learn more or apply online.

It's important to have insurance while you're at UC. Whether you're looking for vehicle or travel insurance, learn more about insurance for students.
