Offshore programmes
The University of Waikato has a long and proud history of collaborating with global partners to deliver quality education programmes offshore. We were the first New Zealand university to be approved to teach and award three of its degrees in China through our Joint Institute (NZUWI) in Hangzhou, China. The University of Waikato has joint programmes in China and Vietnam, pathway programmes with partners in a number of countries.
- The University of Waikato Joint Institute at Hangzhou City University (NZUWI) – Hangzhou, China

- Bachelor of Design in Interface Design
- Bachelor of Design in Media Design
The Joint Institute is the University of Waikato’s flagship offshore programme. From our purpose-built facility, NZUWI offers three complete undergraduate degree programmes to students in China:
The courses are delivered by the University of Waikato staff and staff from Hangzhou City University (previously known as Zhejiang University City College – ZUCC and the Chinese name is 浙大城市学院), which gives students a University of Waikato learning experience without leaving China. Students have the opportunity to undertake short-term study in New Zealand if they wish.
- Shanghai International Studies University (SISU) – Shanghai, China
At SISU, students can take the 2+2 pathway programme. The SISU programme boasts University of Waikato staff delivering a number of courses in the Programme. After 2 years of study at SISU, students transfer to the University of Waikato with up to 120 points of credit exemption towards Bachelor of Business, Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Social Sciences. The collaboration began in 1995 and is the University of Waikato’s longest-running programme in China.
