Lincoln University and UC have signed a memorandum of understanding confirming the intention to jointly develop and offer qualifications in Disaster Risk and Resilience (DRR).
The DRR programmes will allow students to access the complementary knowledge and expertise of each university, both have which have experienced and learnt much from the Canterbury Earthquakes of 2010 and 2011.
Students can undertake a Master of Disaster Risk and Resilience, a Postgraduate Diploma in Disaster Risk and Resilience, or a Master of Applied Science in Disaster Risk and Resilience.

You may have noticed some new taxi point signage around the UC campuses – there are 13 in all, ten on Ilam and three on Dovedale.
The UC Procurement Team have negotiated an arrangement with four preferred Christchurch taxi companies with significant benefits for the University, UC staff and their families.
Benefits include reduced rates and set fares for frequent journeys like UC to the airport. All a user need do when ordering a taxi is to quote the number of the taxi point they are waiting at, and have UC identification, such as a Canterbury card or UC Taxicharge voucher, on hand when the cab arrives.
