Before you get started, you need to establish if you're a Study Abroad or an Exchange student.

Exchange

Your home university must be a Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington partner through a formal student exchange agreement. See the full list of exchange partner universities.

Study Abroad

If your home university does not have a formal Exchange agreement with Victoria University of Wellington, or if there are not enough Exchange programme places available, you can apply to participate in the Study Abroad programme.
