Scholarship students

They will be able to offer specialist support and advice while you are studying as it relates to your scholarship.

The International Student Services Office provides support for incoming students who attend the University of Waikato and a dedicated Exchange and Study Abroad Advisor for your time here.
The Advisor will contact you prior to your arrival, provide an information session on your arrival and will remain in contact throughout the trimester. You will receive an email from the advisor providing you with information on where to go to complete your enrolment and what you will need to bring.
