Partner With Us
The University of Waikato is committed to internationalism through the development of sustainable relationships with like-minded institutions. In key markets, the focus of the University's partnerships is to establish integrated research and teaching activities to build long-term sustainable relationships.
At the University of Waikato, we place emphasis on establishing partnership programmes including dual and joint degrees with the potential for the University to offer its qualifications offshore.
Research partnerships are encouraged - both with existing and new partners - which will focus on the research strengths of the University.
Our models
Dual degrees
In this model, a student receives two degrees - one from their home university and one from Waikato.
Offshore delivery
In some countries, Waikato is able to provide staff to deliver some of its programmes offshore, as part of undergraduate dual degree programmes.
Joint degrees
This is when two universities issues one degree, bearing both university crests.
Study abroad
Study abroad can be for 6-12 months, where a student pays a fixed fee for study. The courses are credited back to the home university and the student does not receive a qualification from the host university.
Student Exchange
Student exchange involves two students, one from each university exchanging "places" for a semester or a year. The students do not pay fees to their host university.
