UCOL (Universal College of Learning) New Zealand

 

A New Zealand Government Funded Institute of Technology

 

 

UCOL is a large New Zealand government funded Institute of Technology located in the lower half of the North Island.   UCOL's history originated in 1909 as the Palmerston North Technical Institute and has grown into a large regional Institute of Technology offering a wide range of post graduate, undergraduate degrees, diplomas and certificates.   UCOL is proud of its academic standing and respectability in the New Zealand Tertiary Education sector. Alumni of UCOL's degree and diploma programmes have achieved significant success in commerce and the professional environment both in New Zealand and offshore.   Many alumni have undertaken further educational study both in New Zealand and in countries such as the United States and UK achieving high honours at the masters and doctoral level.   We are proud of the fact that we produce graduates who are work ready, problem solvers and creative thinkers for this is an integral part of UCOL's educational philosophy.  

 

 

Location

UCOL has three main campuses close to main shopping centres; Palmerston North (population 78, 000), Wanganui (45, 000 population) and Masterton (population 22, 000).   All of these cities are relatively small by world standards, adding to the friendly environment which our international students enjoy so much.   Recreational activities including sporting and cultural opportunities are very close at hand.   For the more adventurous there are more extreme sporting opportunities such as bunji jumping, skiing and water sports all within two hours drive from each campus.

This guarantees that International students can be assured there will be orientation programmes, support networks to assist international students progress through their academic programmes and a range of other support such as advice with accommodation, collection from the airport on arrival, assistance with banking and settling in to the UCOL and New Zealand environment.
