About Victoria University of Wellington and Scholarship
Victoria University of Wellington, known in Māori as Te Herenga Waka, stands as a prestigious public research institution.
Victoria University prides itself on offering a broad spectrum of courses, ensuring that entry to all first-year programs is open to aspiring students. However, in certain specialized programs such as law, criminology, creative writing, architecture, and engineering, entry to the second year may be restricted, reflecting the university’s commitment to maintaining high academic standards.
One of the hallmarks of Victoria University is its outstanding research contributions, consistently earning the highest average research grade in the New Zealand Government’s Performance-Based Research Fund exercises.
The university’s commitment to fostering academic growth and excellence extends beyond traditional coursework. The Victoria University Library, established in 1899, stands as a testament to its dedication to scholarly pursuits. The library, dispersed across four locations—Kelburn Library, Law Library, Architecture and Design Library, and Commerce Library—serves as a valuable resource hub for students and researchers alike.
In line with its ethos of promoting holistic well-being, Victoria University of Wellington introduces the Certificate of Physical Activity and Hauora Scholarship for the academic session 2024/2025.
