Wellington is the heart of stunning scenery, diverse and vibrant culture, friendly people, and quality education.
Wellington is the vibrant heart of New Zealand and its second largest city. It has even been called “the coolest little capital in the world” (Lonely Planet).
Wellington is home to the New Zealand Government, as well as our national arts institutions, filmmaking industry, and more web-based and digital technology companies than anywhere else in the country.
You will discover a city that is bursting with life and creativity, fun activities, and opportunities for adventure.
Benefit from Wellington’s strong connections to government, industry, and leading national organisations.
Located in New Zealand’s vibrant capital city, Victoria University of Wellington enjoys privileged access to the country’s leaders, influencers, and decision makers. This in turn shapes our world-class degrees.
When you study in Wellington, you also have access to the city’s many museums, archives, libraries, scientific institutes, cultural bodies, financial, legal and business institutions, and political and government agencies.
We pass on the benefits of being a capital city university to our students. Take advantage of our close partnerships while you are studying and in your career, and let us help you build your future.
