University of Canterbury
Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury (UC) researchers advance our understanding of the natural world and drive changes that contribute to a more sustainable future.
People come first at UC — our students, our staff and our community. We seek to cultivate a spirit of curiosity while embracing our values — including whanaungatanga (value people and their differences), tiakitanga (enhance and nurture our resources) and manaakitanga (extend care and empower others). Our institution has a foundation of knowledge, collaboration and the core belief that tertiary education should be accessible to all; the University of Canterbury is a place for everyone to explore, thrive and discover.
