A standard school visit includes a campus tour, a hall visit, and an introductory session about studying at the University—degree information, admission, accommodation, and scholarships.
If you're a careers adviser, book a school visit to the University by emailing future-students@vuw.ac.nz or calling 0800 04 04 04.
Campus tours for future international students
Our International Office provides you with expert advice tailored to your study level (preparing to study, undergraduate, or postgraduate). They may be able to arrange a personalised campus tour to help you plan your visit and studies.
As a future international student, you are welcome to join our regular campus tours. However, they may not address all of your needs, as we have designed them for students moving from a New Zealand high school to undergraduate study.
