International agents visit UC

Leave a comment

This week we welcomed 25 international recruitment agents to Aotearoa New Zealand.

We were  able to showcase UC and demonstrate all the reasons Ōtautahi Christchurch is ranked among the top 100 student cities in the world [QS].

Throughout the week, agents took in the sights of Ōtautahi, toured the Christchurch College of English Language (CCEL) and the exciting UC Digital Screen facilities on our Dovedale Campus. They also met our experts who were excited to share their insights into what future students can expect at UC.

It’s thanks to the collaboration and dedication of our agents that we’re able to welcome new international students into the UC community every year.

To our guests – thank you for visiting. It was a pleasure to host you this week and we continue to be grateful for your hard work.

Union activities this week

Leave a comment

The TEU, PSA and E tū have advised the University of their intention to undertake strike action on Thursday this week, 26 September 2024 12.30pm – 4.30pm.

Staff have been asked to advise students who may be impacted via AKO | LEARN. For information about access to UC libraries during these times, please see the Library webpage.

The UC bargaining team believes talks with the unions have been constructive and we will continue the dialogue that aims to address the issues that are relevant to UC staff. The University has no plan to deduct pay from union members who participate in the action on Thursday.
