University of Waikato

The University of Waikato (informally Waikato University, or simply Waikato) (Māori: Te Whare Wānanga o Waikato) is located in Hamilton and Tauranga, New Zealand, and was established in 1964. It has strengths across a broad range of subject areas, particularly its degrees in Computer Science and in Management. Its School of Māori and Pacific Development is acknowledged as the world centre for study in this subject area. In 2007, over 12,000 students were enrolled at the University. More than a quarter of students were aged over 25, and over half were women. It has the highest proportion of Māori students on any campus in New Zealand. The Māori character of the campus is an important aspect of its overall identity. In 2010, the QS World University Rankings gave Waikato 316th place, slightly down from its ranking in 2009. Out of 3,900 business schools in the world, University of Waikato is one of the 48 universities in the world to have Triple accreditation. In New Zealand, it is one of the two universities to have Triple accreditation and one of the three universities in Australia and New Zealand.

  • Maria Ly is quite literally a Rock Star. You’ll often find her hanging off a 5.13a grade rock climbing route, she is the rock star co-founder of Skimble (which is incubated by Rock Health), and you can find her rock formation photography featured in Outside Magazine.

  • March 13, 1988 was the day we moved to America. Although it wasn't my first time in the country, that date was the beginning of my journey through the American school system. Those eleven years filled me with a lifetime of great memories.

  • Mayank is an inventor and zebra-enthusiast. He developed Stripespotter, a biological barcode scanner for zebras, and is a part of the team behind Facebook insights. By way of India to Oman to the US, Mayank can be found behind the wheel of a red Porsche dreaming up his next big idea.
