This week we were fortunate to welcome Ms Liz Turney from Lincoln University to speak to students about the wonderful study opportunities available. As New Zealand’s smallest university with a population of 4,500, it has the benefit of students knowing their lecturers and providing a personalised learning experience in a friendly village atmosphere. Situated on the south island, next to Christchurch, students can enjoy the ski slopes and the surf all in one day.

As a leading land based university, specialised subject areas focus on harnessing the value of the land to help make the world a better place. Within the Bachelor of Commerce, students can choose majors in Food and Resource Economics, Hotel and Tourism Management, Supply Chain Management, Agriculture, Horticulture, Sustainability and Environment Management. Within the Bachelor of Science, students can choose majors in Animal Science, Brewing and Fermentation, Conservation and Ecology, Environmental Science, Food Innovation, Plant and Horticulture Science.

Property is very popular amongst students at the moment, and Lincoln University offers the most comprehensive property-focused degree in Australasia – Bachelor of Land and Property Management. Other unique degrees include the Bachelor of Sport and Recreation Management, Bachelor of Sustainability and Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology.

Students pay the same university fees as New Zealand residents and there are a number of scholarships available.

Students wishing to have a “different” experience where they are “known” are encouraged to explore the many options at Lincoln.
