Planning your studies

We can help you make the right decisions now to get where you want to go in your career—and your life.

The University is currently working through a change process that may have an impact on some of the academic programmes and courses that we offer. The majority of our courses will not be affected.

We encourage you to discuss your enrolment plans with one of our course advisors—they will be able to provide you with up-to-date information and advice. To set up an appointment, freephone 0800 04 04 04 or email future-students@vuw.ac.nz
