Textbooks and course materials
Find out what textbooks, student notes, and course materials you'll need for your courses—buy or order them in advance so you're ready for when classes start.
Finding your required textbooks and course materials
Your textbooks, student notes (compilations of selected readings), and other materials for your course are chosen by your lecturer. The materials they've selected play a vital role in your learning and are an essential part of your study.
To find out what books, student notes, and course materials you need for your course, you can:
- check the course outline handout
- look up the course in the course finder
- go into Nuku, as lecturers often use it to share course materials and the requirements for the courses they're teaching.
Where to get your textbooks and course materials
You can get all your course materials from Campus Books, our provider of textbooks and University merchandise. Campus Books is a specialist textbook operator that also provides services to Waikato, Massey, and Lincoln Universities.
If your main campus of study is Pipitea or Te Aro and you cannot easily access Kelburn campus, you can order your books through the Campus Books website.
