About

History

Victoria University of Wellington, originally known as Victoria College, was founded in 1897, the year of Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

Victoria University of Wellington is characterised by the depth, consistency, and effectiveness of our culture of domestic and international engagement. 

Education

The University's historic strength in public policy has been fully demonstrated by substantial contributions to major government projects, and entrepreneurship education is an emerging strength on which we intend to build. The University also gives high priority to engagement with Māori and Pacific communities.

We aim to produce graduates whose learning has been developed inside and outside of the classroom, experientially, and informed by a global perspective.

Research

The Wellington Faculty of Graduate Research oversees all doctoral degrees and we work to ensure that your experience as a thesis student is a positive one.

Career

Throughout the year Careers and Employment liaises with academic faculties/departments and the business community to promote discipline/industry-specific events. These events are open to all currently enrolled students.

lack of development
Anonymous rated 2 out of 5 stars

The curriculum is stale and lacking passion. Lecturers would often upload years-old recorded lectures instead of up-to-date lectures. The assignments and tasks were repetitive and lacked creativity. By the end of each course, I felt as if I hadn&#39;t taken away any useful or valuable information. <br><i> Review provided by EDUopinions (www.eduopinions.com)</i>

Inclusiveness
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars

I want to acknowledge the cultural, learning, and environmental differences they recognize when conceding with learning throughout the year. VUW are inclusive and covers abilities and capabilities that students have. <br><i> Review provided by EDUopinions (www.eduopinions.com)</i>
