This includes information on the Campus, enrolment processes, assisting with visa renewals, accommodation arrangements and airport collection. We also run comprehensive orientation programmes and throughout the year you will have the opportunity to enjoy social events and functions.
Our role is to ensure that you have the support to realise your academic aspirations. That support is provided in various ways, from accessing the assistance of our Pasifika Liaison and Learning Advisers to a friendly word of advice and encouragement.
