Friday 25 September 2026, 1:00pm - 2:00pm

The University of Waikato offers regular campus tours of its Hamilton campus every Friday at 1:00pm, with this particular session scheduled for September 25, 2026. Starting from the Student Centre Te Manawa, these guided tours provide prospective students and their families with a firsthand look at one of New Zealand's leading universities, including its facilities, learning spaces, and vibrant campus environment. The tours cover key campus highlights and give prospective students the opportunity to explore where they would be studying, socialising, and living. Tours of the Halls of Residence—Bryant Hall, College Hall, and Student Village—can also be arranged to follow the main campus tour, offering a comprehensive overview of fully catered accommodation options. Additional tour dates are available throughout September and October, including during school holidays, making it accessible for families and prospective students with varying schedules. The University of Waikato has a strong reputation across multiple disciplines and is particularly well regarded for its education research and teacher preparation programmes. While these are campus tours rather than professional development events, they serve an important function in connecting future educators and education professionals with the university environment. Tours can be arranged at alternative times by contacting the Future Students team at recruitment@waikato.ac.nz during business hours.
