Immersed in the heart of Ōtautahi Christchurch – the second largest city in New Zealand – Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury (UC) provides students with world-class opportunities for education, exploration, and recreation, with all the conveniences of a modern city and in close proximity to our beautiful beaches and mountains. At UC, we pride ourselves on delivering a high standard of education and facilitating creative and innovative research for the benefit of local and global communities. People come first. Our values of whanaungatanga, manaakitanga and tiakitanga guide what we do and how we do things. They challenge and inspire us to empower others and be the best we can in our work, studies, and interactions with each other. Our academic leaders are encouraged to be courageous, forward-thinking, and generous with their knowledge. They explore their fields of expertise with integrity and vigour, encourage conversations, and share their learnings with the intent of creating better outcomes for everyone. Our international networks provide opportunities for partnerships, research collaborations, and student exchanges. UC, established in 1873 as Canterbury College, was the second institution in New Zealand to offer tertiary education. Originally the first constituent college of the University of New Zealand, it became an independent university in 1961. In his inaugural address, the first Chancellor, Henry John Tancred, emphasised the importance of accessible education for all, regardless of social class. Today, UC still stands for the encouragement of talent without barriers and an accessible education for all.
