THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO

Why New Zealand? New Zealand has a worldwide reputation for being a welcoming and safe destination. New Zealanders are renowned for their honesty, friendliness and openness. While New Zealand is a relatively young country it has a rich and fascinating history reflecting both our Māori and European heritage. New Zealand is one of the world’s most affordable Englishspeaking destinations and is one of the most racially tolerant. Our proximity to the South Pacific Islands, Asia and Australia creates a world of opportunities and we are modern, sophisticated and technologically advanced. In the South Pacific, to the east of Australia, New Zealand has a North and South Island and a number of smaller islands. New Zealand has a population of about four million people. The influence of Pacific Island, Asian and European immigrants has helped shape New Zealand into a vibrant and diverse multicultural society. With a low population density, all New Zealanders and visitors have great access to a wide range of sporting facilities, such as golf courses, and other cultural and recreation centres. New Zealand is world famous for its beautiful environment. The diverse scenery includes impressive mountainous areas, fertile farmland, as well as beautiful coastlines with stunning sandy beaches. New Zealanders and visitors enjoy the wonderful environment in many ways, from relaxing bush walking and soaking in thermal pools to adventurous outdoor activities including hiking, mountaineering and kayaking. Watersports are particularly popular. The summer months of December – April are warm, with colder weather in the winter months of May – November. In Hamilton during the summer months the average maximum temperature ranges between 15-30° Celsius, and in winter 5-15° Celsius.

Why Waikato? In the native Māori language, Waikato means “flowing water”. It was the name given to New Zealand’s largest river, and then to the province in which the University of Waikato is located. The Waikato is a region of lush green hills, bush, farmland, lakes and rivers in between two beautiful coastlines. The Waikato River meanders through the green valleys of the Waikato region and the area’s largest city, Hamilton. Hamilton is a city of education and scientific research with parks and gardens, fine cuisine, ethnic cafés, arts and culture and a variety of sporting and cultural events. From quaint and quirky art villages to ecologically diverse pristine forest parks, the Waikato region offers international students a central location from which to enjoy a diverse range of activities. Auckland (population 1 million) is 90 minutes drive north. The same distance east brings you to the wilderness of the Coromandel Peninsula and the Bay of Plenty, offering some of the best swimming beaches in New Zealand. The country’s largest winter ski areas are less than three hours drive to the south. Two of the best surfing beaches in New Zealand are located between 45-90 minutes drive away to the east and west of the city. To the south, the cities of Rotorua and Taupo offer an enormous range of Māori, geothermal and adventure sport activities and attractions. Forest parks, lakes, thermal hot pools and limestone caves can be found all over the Waikato region. Lake Karapiro, only 25 minutes drive from Hamilton, offers world class rowing and other water sport activities. Fishing, tramping and mountain biking are also well catered for.

FACULTIES / SCHOOLS / COLLEGE

THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO

Studying at Waikato continued STUDY OVER SUMMER The University offers two flexible and relevant study options for international students. Summer School 1 runs from January to mid-February, and Summer School 2 runs from November to mid-December. Students study during Summer School to catch up on papers, fit in with other commitments, reduce workload in other semesters or accelerate their degree.

STUDY ABROAD Many international students study for one or two semesters of full-time study which is credited to a degree at their university in their home country. This is termed “Study Abroad” and is particularly common for students from North America and Europe.

CONJOINT DEGREES Combining complementary degrees can help you shape a unique programme of study that may be attractive to a range of potential employers. For example, combining a science degree (BSc) with the study of law (LLB) may prepare you for a career in patent law, forensics, insurance and a wide range of consultancy work. Conjoint programmes combining arts (BA) or social sciences (BSocSc) with another degree are becoming increasingly popular for students wishing to pursue careers in policy and research. Conjoint degree programmes can be challenging. Students are strongly advised to seek academic advice about these programmes and other options such as double majors and graduate or postgraduate diplomas. Examples of conjoint degrees offered at the University of Waikato include:

Students may select papers from across The University of Waikato’s academic offerings, as long as they meet the prerequisites. Students choose papers that complement their home degree, or offer a particularly New Zealand or South Pacific perspective. At the time of their enrolment at The University of Waikato, study abroad and exchange students must have: » completed at least two semesters of full-time study and be currently enrolled at a recognised tertiary institution » achieved a minimum GPA of 2.5. Applicants from countries where it is not possible to calculate a grade point average must be in good academic standing » students can enrol directly with The University of Waikato, or use the services of a study abroad agency. Please email [email protected] for more details.

» Bachelor of Teaching with a Bachelor of Sport and Leisure Studies

Study Abroad students pay a flat tuition package fee which includes tuition for papers to a maximum of 70 credit points, ancillary charges (health and building levy, student union and academic transcript) but excludes insurance cost for field trips and text books.

PAPERS / COURSES

» For current fees information please visit

» Bachelor of Laws with a Bachelor of Management Studies » Bachelor of Science with a Bachelor of Management Studies

In New Zealand, the word “papers” refers to the courses that you study during your academic year. To complete each paper students may be required to participate in a range of lectures, tutorials and some practical work. An undergraduate programme is typically made up of eight papers per academic year. A postgraduate programme is normally made up of four papers per academic year.

www.waikato.ac.nz/international/students/studyAbroad

Study abroad students wishing to enquire about the transfer of credit related to their University of Waikato study should contact the credit office or registry at their home institution.

POINTS AND WORKLOADS Each paper passed is worth a certain number of points. Points bear a direct relationship to workload; one point equates to approximately 10 hours total work. A student might expect to spend 300 hours studying in total for a 30 point paper. A full-time workload per academic year is 120 points.

ACADEMIC YEAR (FEBRUARY-NOVEMBER) The New Zealand university academic year is divided into two semesters that follow the calendar year. The first semester runs from late February to mid-June; the second semester runs from early July to mid-November. These periods include the orientation and examination weeks. Students doing a dissertation/thesis as part of their studies would normally need to work outside these semester periods. CHOOSE WAIKATO

Tauranga: Joining Forces in the Bay THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO IN TAURANGA Surf, sand, sun and shops are not all you’ll find in Tauranga. The University of Waikato offers a growing range of degrees and programmes in one of New Zealand’s most sought-after locations – combining beautiful beaches, a sophisticated city lifestyle and university study.

PARTNERING WITH THE POLYTECHNIC – IN THE BAY FOR THE BAY

BSc (majoring in Biological Sciences): The University and Bay of Plenty Polytechnic are in the process of developing a programme that will allow students to complete a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Biological Sciences, in Tauranga. Other programmes can be started in Tauranga and completed in Hamilton. They are: » LLB: Students who completed the Diploma in Law in Tauranga

can then complete the final two years of a Bachelor of Laws in Hamilton.

The University of Waikato and Bay of Plenty Polytechnic have been working together for more than a decade to increase tertiary education opportunities in the Western Bay of Plenty.

» BCGD: The first two years of the Bachelor of Computer

Now, the two institutions are working even more closely together with a comprehensive suite of jointly developed diploma and degree programmes. Through this partnership, students can enter bridging, certificate, diploma and degree programmes. This “staircase” approach provides pathways to life-long learning opportunities for school leavers, mature students new to study, or people well on the way towards reaching their career goals.

There are also two-year programmes for career changers who hold industry level qualifications and want to become teachers (see pages 75-79).

New courses are developed with industry and community input to ensure students are well equipped to take advantage of regional employment opportunities.

SEAMLESS INTEGRATION Whether you’re enrolled in a University of Waikato or Bay of Plenty Polytechnic programme, your experience at the Tauranga campuses will be seamless. You can begin with polytechnic qualifications and use them as the entry to a university degree, or start directly in a university programme.

UNDERGRADUATE STUDY Currently, the following degrees and diplomas can be completed at Tauranga: » Bachelor of Business Analysis – Financial*

(majors in Accounting and Finance) » Bachelor of Management Studies*

GRADUATE STUDY The Graduate Diploma in Teaching (Secondary) is a one-year programme for graduates wanting to train as secondary school teachers. The Postgraduate Diploma in Management Studies (PGDip(MgtSt)) is a two-year part-time programme. Successful completion of the PGDip(MgtSt) enables students to enrol for an MBA. The postgraduate diplomas in Education are one-year programmes for Bachelor of Teaching/Education graduates or those with a degree plus a teaching qualification. They include: » Postgraduate Diploma (Education) » Postgraduate Diploma (Educational Leadership) » Postgraduate Diploma (Mathematics Education)

FACILITIES Classes are taught at the campuses we share with the Bay of Plenty Polytechnic at Windermere Campus and the Bongard Centre in Tauranga’s CBD. A range of technology and media, including face-to-face teaching, video conferencing and the internet, are used. Many classes are taught face-to-face by Tauranga-based lecturers and tutors, and some of our Hamilton-based lecturers travel to Tauranga to lecture and tutor. For other classes, video conferencing connects our Tauranga classrooms to courses in Hamilton as they are being taught, so students get exactly the same lectures and powerpoint presentations as their Hamilton classmates. Students can interact with their lecturers in Hamilton via video conference link as well as by email and phone. In addition to first-class teaching facilities, library, computer labs and learning support services, students can enjoy access to the gym, cafes, aquatic centre and childcare.

The self-catered option involves living in an apartment or cottage with up to five other students, (all in single bedrooms); cooking /cleaning independently. All of our Halls offer a warm, friendly, supportive environment and a multicultural enriching experience.

More than 90% of the student population lives off-campus, and most live within a 15 minute walk of the campus. The University only offers single room Halls of Residence accommodation so all couples or families must live off-campus.

Fully Catered Fully catered accommodation is available in College Hall (289 rooms), Bryant Hall (178 rooms), and Student Village (252 rooms). Cost is $250 per week including meals (21 meals per week).

Finding a Place to Live If you have not pre-arranged off-campus housing prior to arrival you can request to be placed into temporary accommodation for a few days until you find a flat/house to live in. The University of Waikato Accommodation and Conference Services Office (ACSO) offers an Accommodation Advisory Service where you can gain assistance in finding private off-campus housing if you are not living in on-campus Halls of Residence.

If you’re a first year student self catered applications can be considered if the fully catered menu is not suitable due to medical conditions, but the majority of first years reside in fully catered accommodation. Costs range from $120-$145 depending on where you choose to stay.

Estimated Tuition Fees and Costs 2012 International students are required by Immigration New Zealand to pre-pay one year’s tuition fees to the University of Waikato in order to be granted a student visa. Fees must be paid for each course a student is enrolled in. The University of Waikato charges fees on the basis of your course enrolment rather than by programme. The fees for courses vary between Faculty/School and sometimes within a Faculty/School. Each course offered at the University has a points value that indicates its weighting within your programme, and your fees will be calculated in terms of the total number of points of your enrolment. Most courses at undergraduate level are worth 15 or 20 points and the standard full-time load is 120 points per year.

All fees are quoted in New Zealand Dollars (NZ $) and include New Zealand Goods and Services Tax (GST).

FIXED INTERNATIONAL FEES (“FEE GRANDPARENTING”)

Undergraduate Programmes

Fees for International Students starting a new qualification in 2012 will be held at the 2012 level for the normal length of the full-time qualification. This practice is known as “fee grandparenting” and enables students to estimate their fees for the normal duration of their qualification. The University reserves the right to increase the fees of future students not starting in 2012.

Undergraduate Certificate, Bachelor Degree, 1 year Graduate Diploma Approximate annual tuition fees based on 120 points (full-time study)

XUE HAN Foundation Studies Programme graduate For 17 years of my life I lived in Singapore, a multi-racial country that has more or less the same population as New Zealand, and yet has an area that is slightly smaller than Lake Taupo. My decision to study at the University of Waikato has enabled me to immerse myself in Kiwi culture, as well as benefit from the full range of facilities, from the efficient library to the lustrous green fields. The environment here is calm and serene; just conducive to studying. In addition, Foundation Studies has given me the valuable experience of interacting with people from other cultural backgrounds. It has certainly widened my perspective on life, and in the whole process, I have acquired self-confidence in all the things I do.

In the afternoon, there is a compulsory Language Skills programme for students in the lower levels (elementary and pre-intermediate). Students in the intermediate to advanced courses can choose one of the afternoon options below. To ensure sufficient attention is given to individuals, class numbers will not normally exceed 18 students.

MELLISA WRAGG From Kenya My name is Mellisa and I’m from Kenya which is in East Africa. I was born and grew up in the capital city, Nairobi. After I completed my high school education, I wanted to study Computer Science and I wanted to do it abroad. I chose to study in New Zealand at the University of Waikato because it is world renowned for its excellence in Computer Science and its related studies. Before I could begin my degree course, I did my Foundation Studies at Pathways College. My experiences there were unforgettable. I met a lot of people from different parts of the world such as Arabia, China, Japan, Korea, and Indonesia. I was able to improve my writing skills and get a better idea of what would be expected of me at the University level. The work, though sometimes rigorous, was enjoyable. Now, after the Foundation Studies, I feel I‘m ready to tackle University life with both the social and academic skills that I have adopted. I would advise anyone doing Foundation Studies to take it as a stepping stone to higher learning and to enjoy every minute of it because it is worth the ride.

Bridging General Sciences: CUPR025 A, B & T This paper is an integrated science course that covers material from the four science areas of biology, chemistry, earth science and physics. There is an emphasis on scientific exploration and skills development necessary for working within the science disciplines.

ADEL ALGHAMDI From Saudi Arabia I am Adel Alghamdi from Saudi Arabia. I am here in New Zealand to study for a Bachelor of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering at The University of Waikato. I finished the Foundation Studies and I found it a very important year to prepare myself to do the undergraduate studies. There are many differences between high school and university studies. For this reason, the Foundation Studies are very important for students to adjust themselves to the university studies. At Foundation Studies I learnt how I can manage my time, study for tests, do my assignments and how can I get high grades. Many students think that the Foundation year is just to get a pass for the university. After my experience, I would like to advise the students who like to get high grades in the university studies to try to get the maximum benefit from the Foundation Studies.

Physics aims to understand the entire physical world.

In Political Science we study all aspects of political life worldwide.

Physics is the foundation of other scientific disciplines. It is also the natural basis of all the technology disciplines such as electronics, engineering and computer science pioneered by physicists.

Why does democracy survive in some countries and not in others? Why do voters vote the way they do? Can we have both freedom and equality – or must we choose between them?

Physicists are versed in mathematics, computer programming and the design of complex instruments.

Political Science comprises four main areas of study. Comparative Politics examines and compares the political institutions and societies of particular countries. International Relations focuses on the relations between states, their foreign policies, and international organisations like the UN and NATO. Political Theory examines theories about politics and society. Public Policy explores and evaluates the processes by which national, regional and local institutions of the state formulate and implement policies.

They are able to easily cross boundaries into other disciplines and there are biophysicists, geophysicists, astrophysicists and neurophysicists. Physics papers are organised into theoretical, experimental and electronics. Electronic engineering includes the theory, design and construction of electronic devices, instruments and systems.

But Computer Graphic Design graduate Matt Visser has done just that. His screensaver that allows you to toss a Toyota Hilux around onscreen simply by tilting your laptop took out an award at the 2008 Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival. Developed while Matt was working at Saatchi & Saatchi in Auckland, the screensaver also won the worldwide company’s Chairman’s Award and its Interactive Award. It uses Flash, a multimedia platform for adding animation and interactivity to webpages. Matt, who was lead Flash developer on the project, says the screensaver made use of a movement sensor in newer Mac laptops. The award-winning demo is at www.mattv.co.nz, along with other examples of Matt’s work, including a quirky animated banner ad for the recent movie Ice Age 3. Matt is currently working in London after a year at Saatchi & Saatchi and a two-year stint at TVNZ. “I’m a hybrid Flash developer and designer – that means I can do the programming and coding as well as the design,” he says. “I work a lot with non-technical people who don’t have an awareness of the technical process to create these projects, so you need good communication skills.” Matt says the Waikato Bachelor of Computer Graphic Design was a great pathway into the industry. “I really liked the mix of programming and design,” he says. “A lot of people out there are self-taught, but these days I think you really need a degree.”

A selection process applies. You are expected to have studied Level 3 Mathematics (Calculus or Statistics and Modelling) and Physics at senior secondary school level. The specified programme of Software Engineering does not require Physics.

BACHELOR OF COMPUTER GRAPHIC DESIGN (BCGD) 3 year degree – 360 points The Bachelor of Computer Graphic Design (BCGD) is a specialist three year design degree that enables you to combine skills in visual art, creative and lateral thinking with computing, the ability to problem solve and a focus on new technology. BCGD graduates find work in: Web, Games Design, TV and Motion graphics, Advertising and Corporate Identity.

Graphic design is everywhere in our world today, on almost every surface, material or digital, that we touch and see; conveying messages from commerce, education, government and society; entertaining us, interacting with us. In the midst of emerging media, liquid culture and accelerating technology, graphic design makes coherent communication possible. Graphic design at a graduate level applies theory and practice to communication aesthetics. Graduate level study in computer graphic design is an opportunity to plan, develop and carry out a large-scale design project supported by original research. Topics are tailored to suit your aspirations and therefore provide you with an opportunity for honing a particular aspect of graphic design further. In order for you to undertake a Master of Computer Graphic Design (MCGD) you need to have completed a Bachelor of Computer Graphic Design (Hons) or equivalent, OR a Postgraduate Diploma in Computer Graphic Design, and must demonstrate evidence of research writing ability.

The Bachelor of Computer Graphic Design is offered in partnership with the Wanganui School of Design. This professional degree is unique in New Zealand and in line with new international developments in design education. The two institutions are a four hour drive apart, and it is not possible to study at both institutions at the same time.

Both the BCGD(Hons) or the PGDipCGD offer a pathway into a Master of Computer Graphic Design after the completion of the Bachelor of Computer Graphic Design, or equivalent undergraduate degree with a strong major in Graphic Design. A background in Fine Arts or another form of design is not sufficient for entry into the postgraduate Computer Graphic Design programmes.

The BCGD at the University of Waikato specialises in media technology that meets the growing need for designers who are visually literate and able to work with high technology. These are the web designers, interactive designers, multimedia and games design people.

The BCGD(Hons) is a part-research-based one year programme, and is taught on the University of Waikato campus. You will complete a research and exhibition project alongside taught papers from within the University of Waikato.

A selection process applies and you must complete a Portfolio containing ten pieces of art or design work. Please include the ID number that you will receive during the online application process when naming your Portfolio.

The PGDipCGD is a one year programme with has a large taught component. The PGDipCGD is only taught at the Wanganui School of Design (www.wsd.ac.nz), however the University of Waikato is planning to offer the PGDipCGD on campus in 2012 (pending approval).

International students are only able to begin the BCGD in the February/March “A Semester” intake. Students applying for entry to the BCGD must submit/complete the following requirements, in addition to their international student application form:

Similar to the BCGD(Hons), the Master of Computer Graphic Design (MCGD) is a one year, research-only full-time programme with no taught classes. The majority of the Masters research focuses on Realisation and Exhibition: a major design research project consisting of a written thesis and a body of exhibited work that expresses the research.

BACHELOR OF TEACHING (BTchg) 3 year – 360 points The BTchg Early Childhood is for people interested in working with children from birth to approximately five years old in early childhood services. Compulsory papers in this programme examine areas such as professional practice, bicultural practice, understanding curriculum, theories of learning and development, infant and toddler pedagogy, parents and whānau (family) engagement and transitions for children. All papers have an emphasis on equity and social justice. There are opportunities in a number of papers to enhance skills and knowledge in areas such as art, music, mathematics, information technology, dance and language and literacy. The BTchg Primary is for people interested in working with children from 5-13 years old in primary, middle, intermediate and kura kaupapa schools. Compulsory papers in this programme examine areas such as such as cultural and linguistic diversity, learning and teaching, curriculum and assessment and classroom management. Curriculum papers enhance your knowledge of curriculum subjects such as the arts, environmental and sustainable education, health and physical education, language and literacy, mathematics, science, social studies and technology. Practical Experiences (Practicum/Placements) The practicum involves practical teaching experience over several consecutive weeks in a school or early childhood service. This is an opportunity to put the theory learned into practice. At other times of the year, weekly placements involve spending time in an early childhood service or school. These placements are linked to specific papers and require completing tasks and observations.

DR AI-HSIN HO Masters of Educational Leadership, Graduate Diploma of Teaching (Secondary) and Doctor of Education graduate. It has been a busy year for Dr Ai-Hsin Ho. Originally from Taiwan, 30-year-old Ai-Hsin completed a Doctorate in Education (EdD) and a Graduate Diploma of Teaching (Secondary). She was keen to gain a reputable postgraduate qualification that combined education and business. The Masters in Educational Leadership at Waikato suited perfectly and in 2003 she graduated with first-class honours. For her EdD thesis Ai-Hsin explored what creates a sustainable partnership between New Zealand and East Asian higher educational institutions. For this research Ai-Hsin interviewed university leaders, academics and administrators in Singapore, China, Taiwan and New Zealand to explore the influencing factors that impact on such relationships. A Waikato doctoral scholarship and a New Zealand Postgraduate Student Study Abroad Award covered her travel expenses. Ai-Hsin praises the Faculty of Education for the support she has received during her studies. She also enjoys the international perspective, campus environment and convenience of Waikato University. Now that she has just completed her studies she hopes to teach in a New Zealand secondary school, using her experience and knowledge to inspire young people.

THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO

DECLAN REDMAN LLB student Being from Canada, I was initially attracted to the notion of taking an LLB in New Zealand because of the warmer climate. What also appealed was the fact I could complete an LLB in less time than it would take in Canada, the price was similar and I’d be able to use the degree back home. Getting to travel was another bonus. Waikato Law doesn’t require an intermediate year, which means you can take that leap of faith and go overseas to complete a degree with a little more certainty, and that’s a great advantage. I particularly enjoy the multi-cultural emphasis of Waikato. In addition to a strong Māori component, Waikato has attracted professors from all over the globe including Canada, South Africa, the United States and Scotland! This emphasis on diversity is also reflected in the student population. With half of my LLB behind me, I look forward to the remaining two years I have at the University of Waikato, and the many opportunities to come.

The Waikato Te Piringa - Faculty of Law provides an excellent contemporary legal education offering all of the core subjects required by the New Zealand Council of Legal Education. In delivering the LLB programme, we focus on integrating professional skills while studying law in its social context, notably addressing the Treaty of Waitangi obligations as part of our commitment to biculturalism. Our mission is to provide critical research for the public good and liberal legal education. We provide excellent academic support and interaction with faculty for international students and recent permanent residents. Our graduates are in high demand for conventional legal positions, as well as policy and law reform roles. In addition to the core subjects, you can specialise and select from a broad range of optional papers, including: Indigenous Peoples and International Law, Public International Law, Human Rights Law, Employment Law, International Environmental Law, Family Law, Law and Information Technology, Intellectual Property, Mediation, Criminology, Treaty of Waitangi, and Māori Land Law, amongst others. Law conjoint degrees are also available with Arts, Social Sciences, Management and Science.

» A full list of papers and information about these programmes is available at www.waikato.ac.nz/law/

Graduate and Postgraduate Study GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN NEW ZEALAND LEGAL STUDIES This programme gives candidates with overseas legal qualifications the opportunity to gain an understanding of New Zealand law.

GRADUATE DIPLOMA IN DISPUTE RESOLUTION This qualification is designed to enable people in a wide range of professions to develop the skills needed to resolve the disputes and differences that are an inevitable part of their work. Students will gain valuable knowledge and practical skills in conflict resolution, mediation and negotiation. The programme utilises the experience and expertise of staff in Te Piringa - Faculty of Law, Waikato Management School and the Faculty of Education. The Graduate Diploma can be completed in one year of full-time study. Part-time study options are also available. It is taught on-campus at the University of Waikato in Hamilton.

LEILANI TUALA-WARREN, LLM Director Samoa Law Reform Commission My Master of Laws degree from Waikato has given me the confidence, skills, and knowledge to practise law and now to assist in the formulation and development of legal policy. The most notable feature of my law degree was ‘studying law in context’ because I am now living law in context in Samoa as Director of the Law Reform Commission which reviews laws to ensure that they are relevant to the Samoan context. My law degree from Waikato gave me solid grounding to be able to do this.

POKI’I SETO Hawaiian Studies student Graduated in 2000 from Kamehameha Secondary School. I was encouraged by my professors to come to Waikato to study Māori language and culture as a means to strengthen my own language skills and broaden my knowledge of Polynesian cultures. I have learned a lot so far about the Māori people and the struggles that they have been going through since colonization and the signing of the treaty in 1840. Learning about the Māori culture is really opening up my mind and my heart to really dive deeper into my own culture and make sure that I am able to perpetuate it to future generations. The only challenge that I had was getting used to the cold weather. I’m used to a much hotter climate. Other than that, I feel a sense of oneness with the culture because Hawaiians and Māori are very similar in both language and culture. I want to be a teacher of cultural history through mythology. After graduating, I plan to return here to further my studies in Te Reo Māori and Kōrero Purakau (story telling). Ultimately, I plan on teaching Hawaiian history in the Hawaiian Language.

BACHELOR OF MEDIA AND CREATIVE TECHNOLOGIES (BMCT) 3 year degree – 360 points The Bachelor of Media and Creative Technologies is an innovative degree focused on emerging forms of output in new media and creative practices. The BMCT brings several disciplines together in a degree that explores the impact of creative technologies in arts and media, while subjecting those technologies and creative forms to critical inquiry. Internetdriven and microprocessor-powered changes have put creative technologies within everybody’s reach, generating a voracious demand for new content, new ideas and new ways of using ‘old’ media. Online audio and video, portable devices, networking and an on-demand culture have begun to produce a transformed creative environment. This promises ever more innovative ways to create and share content in the 21st century. With the whole history of previous media at your disposal, you will draw on that knowledge to invent new ways of expressing yourself through performance and imagery, of telling stories, of collaborating creatively with others, and of engaging with a wider world. The degree provides a distinctive undergraduate experience leading to graduates who are not only skilled in a variety of contemporary mediated creative practices but also possess a thorough conceptual and critical understanding of their cultural impact.

YANYANG XU PhD (physics) student I am studying for a PhD in physics with a New Zealand scholarship. Before I came here, I had completed my Masters Degree in electrical engineering in the USA. The research group I am with is the Cortical Modelling Group at the University of Waikato. My advisers are established and leading scientists in the cortical modelling field. Associate Professor Moira Steyn-Ross and Dr Alistair Steyn-Ross, a husband and wife team, are researching sleep phenomena in human beings and animals. The group is a very productive research group. My advisers are not only excellent scientists, but also have great personalities. When I submitted my application, I received a reply almost immediately and my advisers helped me with every detail of the application procedure. After I was accepted, they helped me with my visa application and travel arrangements. When I first arrived in Hamilton, my advisers helped me familiarise myself with the new environment and gave me advice about studying and living in New Zealand. Dr Alistair Steyn-Ross found work opportunities for me, encouraging me to take up tutorial assignments and lab demonstrations to practice my teaching skills. Another sweet thing I remember is Associate Professor Moira Steyn-Ross introducing me to the feijoa, a wonderful New Zealand fruit, soon after I arrived in Hamilton. It is now one of my favourite fruits. I feel lucky to be studying with the Waikato Cortical Modelling Group in New Zealand. I have not only learnt advanced scientific knowledge, but also how to be a good educator. In the future, I will benefit from and remember the wonderful study and research experience I had in this beautiful country.

Glossary of Terms As you start gathering information from universities, you will realise that each institution has its own terminology. Here are some of the most common words and phrases at Waikato. 100, 200, 300, 400 Levels: These refer to the different levels at which papers are taught and are usually associated with years of study. First year (100 level) papers are more general while fourth year (400 level) papers are more specialised.

Prerequisite: A prerequisite is a requirement to have studied a subject to a certain standard before you can enrol in that particular paper. At university, different papers may have a prerequisite requirement to have passed another paper, eg you may have to complete a specific first year paper before you can enrol in a particular second year paper.

Bachelors Degree: This is a first degree. It is sometimes also called an undergraduate degree. It takes a minimum of three or four years of study to complete.

Programme of Study: The papers that you are enrolled in each year make up your programme of study for that year. Most full-time first year programmes will include eight papers.

Calendar: The University’s official record of rules and regulations, staff, papers, dates, etc. It is available online at http://calendar.waikato.ac.nz

Restriction: A restriction against a paper means you cannot do that paper if you have done a paper with similar content, eg JAPA102 is restricted against JAPA232.

Campus: The grounds and buildings of the University are known as the campus.

Semester: Similar to a school term, a semester is a teaching period of approximately 12 weeks. There are two semesters per year and they are known as Semester A, which starts in February and ends in June, and Semester B, which starts in July and ends in November. Most of Waikato’s papers are semester papers but there are some full year and Summer School papers.

Conjoint Degree: This is a special programme in which you study for two Bachelors degrees at the same time, eg BA/LLB (Arts and Law). Some universities call this a double degree. Discipline: A general subject area, eg History, Chemistry. EFTS (Equivalent Full-time Student): This relates directly to points – 120 points equate to one EFTS. Electives: These are papers from outside your major which you choose. An elective can be from almost any subject taught within the University. Faculties/Schools of Studies: These represent a broad division of learning within the University. Each consists of a number of different departments. Graduate: A person who has been awarded a university degree. Lectures: You will be required to attend two to four hours of lectures each week for each of your papers. There may be as many as 300 students in a lecture. The lecturer stands at the front of the lecture theatre and speaks, writes on the board and shows overheads and videos while you listen and note down the most significant information. These notes are important as they form the starting point from which you will do further research. Major: This is the main subject in your degree. A double major is when you study two subjects in depth. To major in a subject, you study it to a higher level, ie 300 or 400 level. Paper: These are the courses you will study during the academic year. To complete each paper, you will be required to participate in a range of lectures, tutorials and maybe some practical work. Each paper is assessed and, on passing, you will gain points towards a degree. Points: Degree requirements are expressed in terms of points (eg a three year degree generally requires 360 points). Points bear a direct relationship to workload; one point equates to approximately 10 hours’ total work; so a student might expect to spend about 150 hours in total for a 15 point paper. 96

Postgraduate: This refers to study above undergraduate level.

THE UNIVERSITY OF WAIKATO

Specialisation: A specialisation is a study theme within a degree that enables you to focus on a particular area of interest, eg you can do a Bachelor of Science majoring in Computer Science and with a specialisation in Artificial Intelligence. Subject: An area of study, eg Accounting, Biology, History. Summer School: This begins early January and runs for six weeks, followed by a week of examinations. Summer School papers can be used to catch up on failed papers, fit in with other commitments, reduce workload in other semesters and as a “kick-start” to some graduate programmes. Supporting Subject: This is a subject that is studied in some depth but not in as much depth as the major subject. Timetable: Your timetable is your programme of lectures and tutorials. You can check your timetable at http://timetable.waikato.ac.nz Tutorials: In addition to attending lectures, you will attend tutorials or “tutes” as they are more commonly known.

Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students

Compulsory Medical and Travel Insurance

The University of Waikato has agreed to observe and be bound by the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students published by the Minister of Education. Copies of the Code are available on request from this institution or from the New Zealand Ministry of Education website at www.minedu.govt.nz/goto/international

All international Students must have appropriate and current Health and Travel Insurance. Your insurance must be continuous for your full period of study in New Zealand. Without appropriate insurance you will not be able to enrol. This is a requirement of the New Zealand Ministry of Education’s Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students (the Code). The Code is very specific about students’ requirements for cover while they are in New Zealand and can be viewed on www.minedu.govt.nz/

Fees and Costs International students are required to pay a tuition fee for each course they are enrolled in. These fees are listed in the International Prospectus and online at www.waikato.ac.nz/enrol/fees.shtml In addition, students are required to pay course material charges, Building, Student Services, U Leisure levy and Waikato Student Union fee and other administrative charges. Students are also required to have an additional NZ $10,000 – NZ $15,000 per year for living expenses for each year of study.

Fees Protection Policy The University is governed by the Public Finance Act, the Education Act and University Council regulations in regard to student fees. An individual fee account is maintained for each enrolled student. In the event that the University is not able to offer an academic programme for the semester intake indicated on the student’s Offer of Place, any funds due to the individual will be refunded.

Refund Policy Pre-paid tuition fees International students are required by the New Zealand Immigration Service to pre-pay one year’s tuition fees to the University of Waikato in order to be granted a student visa. This policy details the process for refunding these funds if (i) the student travels to New Zealand and does not complete their enrolment, or (ii) completes the first semester of study and does not enrol in the second semester of study and they have a student permit valid for one year. All students must apply in writing for a refund of their pre-paid tuition fees to the Director, Student and Academic Services Division. An administration charge of 10%, including GST, is withheld from the refund of pre-paid tuition fees for students not enrolling at the University of Waikato. Full details of this policy should be read and understood before payment is made. Full details are available online at http://calendar.waikato.ac.nz/admission/internationalstudents.html Refunds after completing enrolment To receive a refund of tuition fees after students have completed their enrolment, students need to apply to their School of Study/Faculty by 5.00pm on the following deadlines. Summer School – the first Friday of the relevant teaching period. Semester A papers – the second Friday of semester A, semester B papers – the second Friday of semester B. Full details of this policy are available online at http://calendar.waikato.ac.nz/admission/changeofenrolment.html

Enrolment Regulations Prior to enrolling at the University of Waikato, all students must have read and understood the enrolment regulations at the University of Waikato. These can be found on the University’s website at http://calendar.waikato.ac.nz/admission/index.html

Termination of Enrolment At the time they enrol, students are required to sign a Student Declaration agreeing to abide by the regulations of the University of Waikato as published in the University of Waikato Calendar. The Student Discipline Regulations provide the framework for addressing alleged breaches of University regulations by students and for applying penalties where breaches are substantiated. Full details of these regulations should be read and understood at the time of enrolment. Full details are available online at http://calendar.waikato.ac.nz/policies/discipline.html

Student Visas and Permits All international students must hold a valid student permit for the duration of their studies. Full details of visa and permit requirements, advice on rights to employment in New Zealand while studying, and reporting requirements are available through the Immigration New Zealand, and can be viewed on the website at www.immigration.govt.nz

How can I get appropriate insurance cover? 1. You can buy insurance through the University. We have arranged an insurance programme (StudentSafe–University) specifically for international students with Marsh Ltd, one of the world’s largest insurance broking companies, OR 2. You may opt to purchase one of the alternative approved policies. You can view these alternative approved policies on www.waikato.ac.nz/international/policies/insurance.shtml If you purchase one of these, you must supply the University with a Certificate of Insurance at least 4 weeks prior to your enrolment. Buying insurance through the University No application form is required for cover under the StudentSafe – University Insurance Programme. The premium will be charged with your tuition fees which you will pay when you enrol; in 2010 it is $264.60 per semester. If you travel to New Zealand within 31 days of your course start date, StudentSafe – University insurance begins automatically as soon as you leave home (subject to pre-existing conditions of health and general exclusions as detailed on the Master Policy Wording – see below webpage for details). It is therefore not necessary to buy insurance before coming to New Zealand. StudentSafe–University insures you during your course, provides 31 days cover at the end of the course if returning to your home country permanently, or 90 days cover until you re-enrol if you are just returning home for the holidays. Further information on the StudentSafe – University insurance programme is available at www.waikato.ac.nz/international/policies/isurance.shtml Please note: Your insurance will cover you for minor unforeseen events which occur on your way to New Zealand, eg lost baggage or flight delays. Please keep your receipts and any necessary information if this happens – you can see a Student Adviser at the on your arrival at the University who can assist you with a claim. For those choosing StudentSafe – University, to be eligible for this special travel cover you must travel to New Zealand within 31 days of your course start date. Accident insurance The Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC) provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents, and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but you may still be liable for all other medical and related costs. Further information can be viewed on the ACC website at www.acc.co.nz

Orientation A compulsory orientation programme will take place during the week prior to classes starting. The programme is designed to give you practical information on studying at the University of Waikato and living in New Zealand. It will also give you the opportunity to meet with other students and staff of the university. Details will be given to you on arrival in New Zealand, can be collected from the International Centre, or viewed on www.waikato.ac.nz/international/students/prospective/ orientation.shtml
