THE UNIVERSITY AND ITS VISION
The University of Waikato celebrated its first 50 years in 2014.
During its first half century it has grown steadily to become one
of New Zealand’s major research organisations, playing a key
role in the economy and making a significant contribution to the
international innovation system.
Today there are more than 12,000 students who choose to study at
our campuses in Hamilton and Tauranga, and online. International
students from 70 countries make up approximately 20% of the
student population.
The University offers a broad range of qualifications and flexibility
in the composition of its degrees. We encourage our students to
complete work placements or practicums during their study so
they graduate as competent all-rounders ready for careers in the
global marketplace.
In January 2015, Times Higher Education ranked the University of
Waikato 61st out of 100 “most international” universities in the world.
Our Hamilton campus is impressive, located on 65 hectares of
park-like grounds. Our location, origins and partnerships with Māori
mean we hold a special place in our region, which is fundamental to
our identity as we operate as a key driver of social well-being and
economic growth.
The University of Waikato strategy is to provide a future-focused
curriculum and offer a world-class student experience that is
excellent and distinctive, enhanced by ongoing investment in
technology and campus development.

UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO RESEARCH INSTITUTES AND CENTRES
The University of Waikato makes a significant contribution to
New Zealand research and innovation and is ranked highly by
independent assessment for the quality of its research.
We have identified areas of cross-disciplinary research strengths,
demonstrated in the research institutes and centres that operate
on campus. The research carried out by academics and postgraduate
students in these centres influences policy in a number of areas.
WILF MALCOLM INSTITUTE OF EDUCATIONAL
RESEARCH (WMIER)
WMIER takes a leading role in New Zealand research spanning the
early childhood and school years, focusing on learning, teaching,
curriculum, cultural and literacy issues, and policy.
NATIONAL INSTITUTE OF DEMOGRAPHIC AND
ECONOMIC ANALYSIS (NIDEA)
University demographers and economists work with public policy
experts at Wellington-based Motu Economic and Public Policy
Research Trust to provide policymakers with a better understanding of
the issues surrounding an ageing and increasingly diverse population.
INSTITUTE FOR BUSINESS RESEARCH (IBR)
Based in Waikato Management School, IBR has research expertise in
areas ranging from innovation to economic impact analysis. IBR staff
work with industry, government agencies and other organisations to
enhance productivity and contribute to sustainable business.
ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH INSTITUTE (ERI)
ERI encompasses the University’s internationally-recognised
expertise in ecosystems in coastal and freshwater systems, urban
and rural terrestrial systems, and in Antarctica, where we have led
New Zealand in terrestrial biological research for more than 25 years.
TE KOTAHI RESEARCH INSTITUTE (TKRI)
TKRI provides research, consultancy and capacity building services
relative to Māori economic development and well-being. Researchers
collaborate with iwi, other research institutes and organisations to
undertake projects from a kaupapa Māori approach. Researchers also
engage with indigenous academics, researchers and communities
outside New Zealand.
THE INSTITUTE OF PROFESSIONAL LEARNING (IPL)
IPL in the Faculty of Education provides high quality, researchinformed programmes of professional learning and development
that contribute to improved professional practice in early childhood
centres, kura, schools and tertiary institutions in New Zealand
and overseas. IPL is also a member of the Te Toi Tupu consortium
which offers professional development focused on improving
outcomes for Māori and Pacific students and students with
special education needs.
Other Units and Centres have research strengths in software
innovation, computer networks, Māori and indigenous governance,
psychology, traffic and road safety.
