From our state-of-the-art IT facilities to our robust Campus Security, we ensure that every student's journey here is safe, secure, and technologically sound. But we're not just about books and lectures. We pride ourselves on our diverse range of field stations, one of which is located in the historic mining town of Westport. These field stations offer hands-on learning opportunities, allowing students to delve deep into their areas of interest, whether it's geology, ecology, or engineering. We understand that university life isn't just about academics; it's about personal growth and community. That's why we place a strong emphasis on student support services. From counseling and career guidance to financial aid and housing assistance, we're here to ensure that every student feels supported and empowered during their time with us. So, whether you're embarking on your academic journey or continuing to explore new horizons, the University of Canterbury welcomes you with open arms.
