Kia ora — Welcome to New Zealand

‘Study Abroad is definitely one of the most memorable experiences of my life. I enjoyed travelling in New Zealand, especially the South Island. Crystal clear lakes, pure white snowy mountains and broad braided rivers. I never got bored of those.’Gloria LeungHong Kong

UC is ranked in the top

1%of universities worldwide.

Temperate climateWith lots of sunshine, and the full range of spectacular seasons, New Zealand is an ideal study abroad option.

Average temperatures in Summer (December–February) are 20–30 C° (68–86F), Winter (June–August) are 10–15 C° (50–59 F).

Famous ‘Kiwi’ ingenuityWe are known for being an innovative place. From our international sporting achievements, the invention of the bungy jump, and the filming of the award-winning Lord of the Rings trilogy, our diverse country continues to make an impact on the world stage.

Bicultural heritage in a multicultural society Discover the rich culture of the Māori (our indigenous people) and enjoy a variety of cultural experiences.

Feedback from previous Study Abroad students‘The MAOR 165 Māori course was the most interesting class because it gave me the opportunity to learn about New Zealand’s history and culture. For me, this was one of the reasons of going abroad: learning about another culture. I recognised a lot of what I had learned on my travels throughout the country, and appreciated that.’ Christina Gallinat, Germany

‘New Zealanders truly have a strong passion for the sustainability of the Earth. I have done four Great Walks, ice-climbed Fox Glacier, and mountain-biked around the South Island, plus I’ve done my share of kayaking, surfing and white water rafting. I have bungy jumped the Auckland Bridge and the Ledge in Queenstown. I skydived over Wanaka, and shark cage dove in Stewart Island.’ Richard Podpirka, USA

‘Living in Ilam Apartments at UC has been fun because it’s an eclectic mix of Kiwi and international students who are keen to have a good time. I also love being close to Christchurch’s beautiful Hagley Park and the weekend farmers’ markets.’ Mimi Millard, USA

‘There’s nowhere better than the University of Canterbury for bringing together the best professors and professionals in the field. The University has a wide range of research in construction and I decided to be part of this group of researchers.’ Gabriel Coelho, Brazil

‘Through being involved with a lot of different activities and meeting people with different opinions and backgrounds, I’ve discovered how diverse UC is. I am in class with people from all over the world every day, and it makes for interesting discussions and really broadens your horizons and gets you thinking about ideas.’ Laura Schnelle, Germany

‘The mid-semester field trip for my Ecology class was an experience I would not have been able to have at my home university. Doing field work in Arthur’s Pass was a great experience that gave me a taste of what it’s really like to do research in a natural environment.’ Hayley Rylander, USA

Destination South Island

‘Here in New Zealand, there are pretty epic mountains, rivers, and beaches right on our doorstep, and UC for me had the benefit of its central location to most things in the South Island.’

Ellorine CarleUSA

From mountains to the sea, the dramatic terrain of the South Island offers a range of memorable leisure experiences.

Ōtautahi Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island and on the doorstep of a huge outdoor ‘playground’ — with nine ski fields within a two-hour drive, and beautiful beaches close by, you can surf and ski in the same day.

Christchurch’s central location on the South Island’s east coast makes it a major gateway, and the ideal base from which to explore the following areas.

Marlborough Sounds/NelsonAt the top of the South Island, the waterways of the Marlborough Sounds are made up of the Queen Charlotte, Kenepuru, Pelorus, and Mahau Sounds, and are a popular place for fishing, diving, boating, and dolphin watching.

Nelson is the oldest city in the South Island.

Situated at the top of the island, it is well known for its local arts and crafts.

You can explore golden beaches and the lush coastal Abel Tasman National Park; or get out on the water into the tranquil Marlborough Sounds.

Home to Aotearoa New Zealand’s most breathtaking landscapes, Te Waipounamu the South Island is world renowned for its natural beauty and recreational opportunities.

75experts from around the world come to teach at UC each year through the

Erskine Fellowship programme.

The Franz Josef Glacier is a remnant of a 7,000 year old larger glacier that originally swept right to the sea. Today, it is 12 kilometres long, from the high snowfields of the Southern Alps.

The world-famous Fox Glacier is one of the longest of the West Coast glaciers — you can take a breathtaking guided walk right onto the glacier.

QueenstownThis buzzing town has much to offer those seeking an adrenaline fix. It is famous for its white water rafting, skiing, jet boating, and bungy jumping, and is home to the beautiful and tranquil Lake Wakatipu, New Zealand’s third largest lake.

The nightlife, cafés, and bars also make this a favourite South Island destination.

WanakaJust 50 minutes’ drive from Queenstown over the magnificent Crown Range, Lake Wanaka is a beautiful year-round destination, set against the alpine backdrop of Mount Aspiring National Park. In winter, Wanaka is a snow-lover’s paradise, and in summer, it is home to campers and those that enjoy being on the water.

Fiordland/Te AnauTe Anau is the ‘Gateway to Fiordland’ and the closest town to Milford Sound, a scenic two-hour drive away.

Fiordland occupies the southwest corner of the South Island and consists of fourteen fiords.

It has achieved World Heritage Status for its natural beauty.

Milford SoundMilford Sound is a fiord situated in the southwest of the South Island and is admired for its staggering Mitre Peak, and its rainforests and waterfalls.

‘Back at my home university, the domestic and international students keep to themselves and don’t tend to interact much. Here at UC, I have found the exact opposite. You are part of the UC family, no matter where you are from.’Zachary LogounovUSA

With a population of around 480,000, greater Christchurch is the largest city and economic centre of the South Island.

A few spots to explore in the Canterbury region:

AkaroaAkaroa is a town on the Banks Peninsula, southeast of Christchurch. Akaroa Beach is on the eastern shore of Akaroa Harbour, where rare Hector’s dolphins swim. Some boat cruises even have on-board dolphin-spotting dogs who can hear underwater sonar activity.

Aoraki Mount Cook National ParkHome to New Zealand’s majestic Mount Cook, 40% of the national park is covered by glaciers, and there are over 19,000 peaks higher than 3,000 ft.

At 29 kilometres long, and up to 3 kilometres wide, the Tasman glacier is one of the longest glaciers in the world outside the polar region.

The area offers hiking, climbing, snowsports, and kayaking with breathtaking views of the Southern Alps, and the foothills of Mount Cook are just a 90-minute drive from Christchurch.

KaikōuraA seaside town with sweeping mountain and ocean views, this is a place where visitors can commune with nature’s wonders and spot whales, dolphins, seals, and sea birds.

Lake TekapoLake Tekapo’s magnificent unpolluted night skies attract visitors and star-gazers from all over the world.

The astronomical observatory on top of Mt John, near Lake Tekapo, provides outstanding conditions for observations and discoveries of the southern sky.

UC’s School of Physical and Chemical Sciences runs the observatory and students and staff are able to use the facilities.

Mount Hutt The mountain is home to a commercial alpine ski area, and prides itself on historically being the first ski-field in the Southern Hemisphere to open at the beginning of each ski season.

SemestersAt UC, most courses are taught in Semester 1 (February–June) or Semester 2 (July–November). A few courses are taught through February–November.

Some courses are offered more than once in the same year. It is not possible for you to take just half of a whole year course if you are only attending UC for one semester.

When planning your courses, check that they are available in the semester you plan to study at UC.

www.canterbury.ac.nz/courses

Courses and prerequisites Arts, Commerce, and Science degrees at UC are three-year programmes, therefore 300-level courses are the most advanced undergraduate courses offered. The 400-level courses in these subjects are postgraduate courses, only open to graduate-level students.

Professional degrees such as Engineering, Forestry, and Social Work are four-year programmes and 400-level courses in these subjects may be available to Study Abroad students with sufficient previous study.

As long as you meet prerequisite requirements, you can normally take most undergraduate courses offered at UC. A few areas have courses which have limited entry. www.canterbury.ac.nz/enrol/special

The UC Study Abroad Coordinator can seek course pre-approval on your behalf if requested. You are welcome to submit a list of courses with your application for admission, so that you will know before arriving that you can take the courses you need.

Under the terms of your New Zealand student visa, you must be enrolled as a full-time student. At UC, this means you must enrol in at least 45 points per semester. A standard workload is 60 points per semester. The maximum workload for a semester is 75 points.

For questions about how your UC course points will transfer to your home university degree, please consult with the Study Abroad office at your home university.

TeachingMost courses include two to four hours of lectures per week. You will also be expected to participate in tutorials, which are small discussion groups led by a teaching assistant. Some Science courses will have mandatory laboratory classes, and may include field trips.

Postgraduate studyUC welcomes applications to postgraduate courses from graduate students who have completed a bachelor’s degree overseas. Postgraduate applicants should provide a list of intended UC courses with their application for admission. For information on postgraduate courses, prerequisites, and tuition fees, go to www.canterbury.ac.nz/courses

Plan your study

‘UC’s courses are much more hands-on. In the States, we focus on theory, models, and concepts. UC places the emphasis on quickly learning the basics, and applying that knowledge to real-world scenarios.’

Greg DieterUSA

Engineering Core on UC Campus.


Internships at UCApply your analytical skills to a real-world internship course, PACE 295.*

Internship students work with a local organisation or business on a special project, under the supervision of a specialist lecturer.

Work can be completed throughout the semester and each project has measurable milestones.

Past interns have worked in areas as diverse as food sustainability, GIS mapping, film-making, social entrepreneurship, media and communications, and much more.

Enterprise in Practice BSNS 290* is a for-credit course that allows students to complete a project for a start-up venture, local business, social enterprise, or a student club. This project will enable you to apply your academic skills and knowledge to a practical project.

The course is taught from and supported by the staff at the Centre for Entrepreneurship (UCE), which also offers mentoring, seminars, and development bootcamps to students, to encourage entrepreneurial discovery and experimentation.

* See www.canterbury.ac.nz/courses for details of individual courses.

Keen to go beyond the classroom as part of your Study Abroad semester? As a UC Student, you’ll have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain community service or work experience, and engage in hands-on field study.

Learning through experience

‘Returning to Christchurch to speak at the Community Engagement Summit really made my semester at UC come full circle. From taking CHCH 101, to starting my own volunteer e�orts, to then sharing my experience so others could be inspired, was incredibly rewarding.’Jessica Weston USA

Service learning and Community EngagementCHCH 101: Strengthening Communities through Social Innovation* is a for-credit course, incorporating service learning.

Building on the community spirit of the famous Student Volunteer Army (UC SVA), you’ll complete up to 20 hours of community service related to social innovation and volunteerism in the Christchurch community.

As well as providing you with a course experience not available anywhere else in the world, CHCH 101 is a great opportunity to get to know New Zealand students and community members.

Get hands-on with applied learningUC’s connections with local businesses means that many of our semester courses offer exciting off-campus experiences and applied learning.

AT A GLANCE

1st New Zealand university to receive the prestigious QS 5 Star rating for internationally renowned research and training

35% of UC courses get students out into the workplace or the community

100+ di�erent subjects are o�ered from science to the arts

Field studyUC operates a extensive network of field stations around the South Island, offering unparalleled access to New Zealand’s flora and fauna, geology, and marine life.

The diversity of geography contained in a relatively small area acts as a natural laboratory for off-campus study, and makes UC an ideal option for students wishing to undertake Science field study.

Mountains, rivers, ocean, glaciers, indigenous and exotic forests are all readily accessible for hands-on learning.

Field trips are also a key component of courses as diverse as Māori and Indigenous Studies, Political Science and International Relations, and Sport Coaching.

Code of PracticeThe University of Canterbury has agreed to observe and be bound by the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students. www.canterbury.ac.nz/support/code

‘Life as an international student is in many ways indescribable because you are not only educated in the classroom, you are educated from your first steps out of the airport until the last goodbye.’

Maria AhrensbergDenmark


Living expensesLiving expenses will vary depending upon your accommodation and lifestyle choices. We recommend that you budget for at least NZ$7,500 for a semester (from NZ$15,000 per year), excluding airfares and tuition.

A lot depends on how long you choose to stay. The teaching semester is about four months; your student visa is for six months. Some students choose to go straight home after finishing their studies in order to start their next semester back home; others use the time to explore New Zealand. We strongly recommend the latter — but you will need to budget for transport, activities, and more expensive accommodation.

Free airport pickup If you are arriving in New Zealand for the first time, and will be studying for at least one semester, Accommodation Services can arrange transport from Christchurch International Airport to your accommodation.

This service is free, but five days notice is required. www.canterbury.ac.nz/international /before-you-arrive-in-new-zealand /accommodation-for-international-students /airportpickup

So, if you intend to enrol at UC, you do not need to purchase your own insurance before you leave home.

The cost of this insurance will be added to your enrolment fees. The policy covers transit stopovers, but does not cover stopovers regarded as holidays. www.canterbury.ac.nz/international /before-you-arrive-in-new-zealand /insurance/studentsafe

Pre-existing medical conditionsPre-existing medical conditions are not automatically covered by Studentsafe-University Insurance. These are medical or physical conditions that you have before you enrol in the plan, and can extend to conditions you were aware of, but did not seek treatment for.

If you require additional cover for a pre-existing medical condition with Studentsafe-University, you need to apply for cover by completing a medical risk assessment form online.

If you have a pre-existing medical condition and you intend to purchase another University-approved policy, you need to check whether your pre-existing condition will be covered.

We recommend that you have your teeth checked before you leave home. Dental treatment in New Zealand is expensive, and is generally not covered by insurance.** Note: Studentsafe-University Insurance may cover a one-off emergency dental expense.

Student visaWhen your application is approved we will issue you with an Offer of Place letter, which you will need before you can apply for a visa.

You will need to apply for and receive your student visa before travelling to New Zealand.

In order to fulfil the requirements of your student visa, you must be a full-time student.

For full details of visa requirements, how to apply for a student visa, location of the nearest office of Immigration New Zealand, advice on rights to employment in New Zealand while studying, and reporting requirements, see www.immigration.govt.nz

Every student intending to purchase Studentsafe-University Insurance is covered by the Studentsafe-University policy from the time they leave home (up to 31 days prior to enrolment).

Purchasing private medical and travel insuranceIf you do not want to purchase Studentsafe-University Insurance you must arrange an alternative approved insurance plan. A number of insurance plans are available that meet the minimum requirements for international students. www.canterbury.ac.nz/international /before-you-arrive-in-new-zealand/insurance

Eligibility for health servicesPlease note that most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand. If you receive medical treatment during your visit, you may be liable for the full costs of that treatment. To check your entitlement to publicly funded health services, see www.health.govt.nz

Accident InsuranceThe Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but you may still be liable for all other medical and related costs. www.acc.co.nz
