The University of Waikato offers regular campus tours throughout the academic year, providing prospective students and their whānau with an opportunity to experience the university's facilities, learning spaces, and campus environment firsthand. This series of tours runs on Fridays through August and September 2026, each session lasting one hour from 1:00pm to 2:00pm. Campus tours are an important step in the tertiary planning process, giving visitors a chance to explore lecture theatres, libraries, student support services, accommodation options, and specialist facilities across the university's academic divisions. The University of Waikato, ranked number one in New Zealand for research, offers a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate programmes, and the campus tour provides an ideal opportunity to get a feel for campus life and the learning environment. These tours are offered free of charge and are suitable for prospective students at any stage of their decision-making process, from those just beginning to consider tertiary study to those ready to finalise their enrolment. For secondary school career advisors and guidance counsellors, the tours can also serve as a professional resource for providing informed, first-hand guidance to students considering Waikato.
