About University of Waikato
From modest beginnings on what was largely farmland, the University of Waikato has grown to a student population of about 13,000 of whom more than 4800 complete a qualification annually. Today the University of Waikato employs 2000 academic and support staff, making a significant contribution to the local and national economy.
We are committed to delivering a world-class education and research portfolio, providing a full and dynamic university experience, distinctive in character, and pursuing strong international links to advance knowledge.
Since our earliest days we have worked closely with iwi, particularly Tainui, to make the University of Waikato accessible to Maori students and to foster an environment of success. We are proud of our evolution into a truly New Zealand institution, supporting our country's nation-building policies and reflecting our nation's identity.
University of Waikato owes its existence to two brave men who fought loudly for eight years, on behalf of the people of Waikato, to establish their own university. Since then we've never been afraid to do things differently.UOW Campus in 1970
In 1956 a handful of Hamiltonian locals decided they wanted their own university. It seemed reasonable. New Zealand had four universities that had been established in the main centres since the end of last century. Why not the Waikato?
Unfortunately, the powers that be had other ideas. They'd been safely holed up unchallenged for more than 50 years, in the colleges that constituted the University of New Zealand, and were dismissive of a Hamilton based university. Hamilton was a plodding centre for producing farmers and the occasional All Black, certainly no place for higher learning. Luckily two men begged to differ.
