The University of Waikato's Professional Development Campus Tours continue through September 2026, offering educators regular opportunities to visit the university's facilities and learn about programme offerings during the spring term. With sessions scheduled on multiple Fridays throughout September—including 4, 11, 18, and 25 September, plus 30 September—these one-hour tours (1:00pm–2:00pm) provide a convenient way for teachers and careers advisors to stay current on tertiary pathways available to their students. These campus tour sessions are designed for secondary school educators who want firsthand familiarity with what the University of Waikato offers, enabling them to provide informed guidance to students considering tertiary study. Each session covers programme offerings, student support services, entry requirements, and scholarship opportunities across the university's faculties. The regular scheduling throughout the term makes it easy for educators to find a date that works, and the tours extend into the October school holiday period for added flexibility.
