Study abroad and exchange
We partner with more than 160 universities and institutions around the world to provide students with valuable international study experiences.
Each year we host more than 500 overseas students through our Study Abroad and Exchange programme. These students help make up the community of nearly three and half thousand international students who choose to study at our university.
At the same time, around 200 Victoria University of Wellington students complete part of their studies at overseas universities through our Wellington Global Exchange programme.
We offer your exchange students a capital city experience in a beautiful harbour location. We’re ranked by QS in the top two percent of universities worldwide and are rated New Zealand’s number one university for research intensity.
“I chose Victoria University of Wellington because I was attracted to New Zealand and its beautiful landscapes, and the laidback and friendly people. I had also heard great things about the University, especially in terms of research which is important to me as a postgraduate student.”
