WHY STUDY IN CITY?
Christchurch’s location on the east coast of the South Island makes it a perfect environment for recreation. Beautiful sandy beaches are nearby, and skiing and snowboarding can be found at five ski resorts within 90 minutes of the city. If you’re interested in visiting some of New Zealand’s most stunning places, attractions such as alpine resorts, white water rafting, whale watching, surfing, and kayaking are all nearby.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Love the outdoors? Canterbury will steal your heart. Its central South Island location makes it easy to jump off into breathtaking scenery and unlimited outdoor adventure, from rock climbing to snow sports.  

Established in 1873 by scholars from the University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge, the university is ranked amongst the world’s top 3% schools, with world-class facilities and community project options. Classes often include field trips that take advantage of the university’s many research stations. The suburban campus has a strong culture of community service. Students established the notable Student Volunteer Army after the 2010-2011 earthquakes, a program often replicated by other universities.
