About the Scholarship Sponsor:
In 1897, a school by the name of Victoria University opened its doors to students. Kelburn, a Wellington area only a mile from the city center, is home to the main campus. Schools of architecture and design, as well as the Law Faculty, a section of the Faculty of Commerce and Administration, may all be found in the heart of the city. In addition to its schools of Architecture and Design, Business and Administration, Education, Engineering, Humanities and Social Sciences, Law, and Science, the university is also home to numerous institutes and research centers. So, the organization covers a lot of ground. Literature (both English and New Zealand), linguistics, ecology and sciences, geography, politics, theater, film, and indigenous studies (including Maori, Pacific, and Asian studies) are only some of the areas covered in the classroom. In addition, Zealandia, a zoo and wildlife sanctuary, can be found in Wellington. Guests at these locations will be able to observe and learn about some of New Zealand’s most peculiar animals.
There are several student organizations and clubs on campus that can help you meet new people and get involved in campus life in New Zealand. There are three different campuses, with the Humanities and Social Science, Engineering, Health, Social Science, and Education departments being located at the Kelburn campus in New Zealand. Pipitea Campus is the second location. It houses the Management and Facilities of Law, Finance, Government, and IT departments, and is conveniently close to the New Zealand Parliament building. The Faculty of Design and Architecture can be found on the third and largest campus, known as the Te Aro campus. Additionally, Victoria University offers classes in Auckland’s CBD.

The institution offers over 170 distinct fields of study, and students can participate in research projects, internships, and field trips, all of which help students grow in their capacity for critical thinking. Our dedication to tikanga Mori is centered on Te Herenga Waka, the university’s marae (Mori meeting house and surroundings) (Mori cultural traditions). The hub also serves as a gathering place for campus residents such as students and their whnau. The university is also proud of its Living P project, which involves restoring a marae to foster deeper cultural connections and a deeper appreciation for how those connections have shaped and will continue to affect our lives. The Living P is a community-driven living lab that will serve as a hub for cross-sector collaboration and ideation on how to create a more just, sustainable, and equitable world. The capital city of New Zealand provides the University of Wellington with a wealth of resources and connections, including to prominent individuals and institutions in the disciplines of politics, government, culture and history, commerce, and science.
