Universities in Christchurch, South Island, New Zealand

Christchurch is the largest city in the South Island of New Zealand, and a name on everybody's lips at the moment - after the 2011 earthquakes, Christchurch has seen a resurgence of activity, as the city regenerates and rebuilds. If you have your heart set on studying there, your university options could be wider than you think. There are two universities based in the city and surrounds.

We recommend keeping an open mind about where in New Zealand you choose to study because not all programmes are offered by all universities. Air travel is a cheap and efficient method of transport in New Zealand, so you might also consider choosing a suitable programme at other universities in the country. You can see a list of all the universities that we work with in New Zealand here.
