As a world-class university, we are committed to supporting you in your studies. Please check out the assistive technology that is currently available at the University of Canterbury.
We would like to introduce some excellent technology tools that will enhance your learning experience at UC and help you develop your reading, writing, understanding, and overall study skills.
Read&Write
Reading, writing, comprehension, and recall are vital to success, and Read&Write will provide you with key study tools to strengthen these skills.
You can use it with on-screen or digital texts to generate notes from your readings, to research, revise, complete assignments, check spelling, grammar, and punctuation, take exams, and do much more.
Equatio is an equation editor and digital math tool that you can use to create mathematical and scientific content. It allows you to effortlessly write complex mathematical expressions, equations, and symbols.
It is a valuable tool that can help you effectively communicate STEM concepts by simplifying the process of creating and sharing mathematical content in a digital format.
It is an excellent tool to access, edit, and interact with your PDFs. It is much more than the standard PDF reader. It is a PDF editor that can take your PDF documents to a whole new level.
It’s not too late to think about going on exchange in Semester 2 2024!
The main application round for Semester 2 2024 UC Global Exchange applications was in September 2023. However, applications are still open for some partner universities. For most of these universities you will need to apply to UC for selection no later than 18 February 2024 for a Semester 2 2024 exchange to allow time for the UC selection process prior to the partner university deadline. A few universities may have later deadlines – please check with the UC International Relationships office. Applications for exchanges in Semester 2 2024 will be actioned on a rolling basis as they come in. If there are limited places available at a particular partner university, places will be allocated to successful applicants on a “first come first served” basis. You are therefore advised to submit an application immediately for exchanges in Semester 2 2024.
Note that some of the partner universities are closed already and we have listed them on the UC Global Exchange website. As we process applications on a first-in-first-served basis, there may be other partner universities that will be closed on a rolling basis. If the universities that you are interested in are not listed on the website above, please contact us at ucmobility@canterbury.ac.nz to check on place availability and required timeframe before applying.
Note: whether we are able to accept late applications or not will be subject to availability of places and the required application timeframe or deadlines at UC and the partner universities you wish to apply for.

What’s great about a UC Global Exchange?
Pay tuition fees to UC, get an international experience
Travel and see new places
Credits applied to your UC degree (subject to approvals from appropriate departments and Faculties)
Enhance your CV with demonstrable international engagement.
The great thing about UC Global Exchange is that you pay your tuition fees to UC and not the partner university, and you can choose to study at some amazing locations around the world, ranging from Denmark, France, to the UK, USA, Spain, Japan, and many more. Note: UC Global Exchange programme is subject to UC Travel Policy, risk assessments and COVID-19 restrictions.
