The University of Newcastle and the University of Waikato

With a Student Exchange Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding already in place, The University of Waikato and The University of Newcastle are creating additional avenues for collaboration through the development and formalisation of a strategic partnership.

The two tertiary providers have several research commonalities, particularly across the Indigenous engagement, social sciences and engineering disciplines.

Delegations from each of the universities visited the other’s campus in 2022 in a demonstration of the commitment to explore opportunities to work more closely together and increase research capabilities and engagement with teaching and learning.

Dr Raymond Kelly, Dr Sarah-Jane Tiakiwai, Professor Alex Zelinsky, Professor Neil Quigley, Dr Te Kahautu Maxwell, and Professor Kent Anderson.

Our student exchange agreement with the University of Newcastle allows Waikato students to spend a semester or year studying in Newcastle and Newcastle students to do the same in Hamilton. Tuition fees are paid to the home institution and successful completion of papers abroad allows for credit to apply to the student’s home university degree programme.

There are many benefits to trimester exchange, including:

• Exploring different cultures
• Developing core intercultural competency skills, and
• Finding new ways to approach learning.
