Victoria Abroad becomes Wellington Global Exchange

Victoria Abroad has officially become Wellington Global Exchange as part of Te Herenga Waka—Victoria University of Wellington’s brand refresh.

The name change has come after a period of consultation with staff, students, alumni, and stakeholders.Wellington Global Exchange highlights the programme’s point of difference in the Asia-Pacific region and reflects its deep connection to Wellington and New Zealand.

“We chose to change the name of our exchange team from Victoria Abroad to Wellington Global Exchange to further emphasise and celebrate our connection to Wellington as a city,” says Wellington Global Exchange Manager Dylan Anderson.

“This carries through from our change from Victoria International to Wellington University International, and reflects our place as a global-civic University firmly situated in the heart of New Zealand’s capital city.”

Wellington Global Exchange is partnered with over 140 universities worldwide, offering students an opportunity to broaden their horizons overseas as they study towards their degree.

Victoria Abroad became Wellington Global Exchange on 11 December 2019.
