Welcome
Kia ora koutou.
Nau mai, haere mai, tauti mai.
Welcome to Te Whare Wānaka o Aoraki, where we are
proud to help grow your future.
As the longest running agriculturally based university
in the Southern Hemisphere, Lincoln University's story
begins with farming but it certainly doesn’t end there. As
New Zealand’s economy has diversified so have we. What
we are interested in growing is people.
Now more than ever, we are enabling our students to
grow to meet urgent industry demands in areas such as
food, fibre, sustainability, agribusiness and more.
At Lincoln, we offer great learning and growth through
powerful applied research, the cultivation of deep
industry collaborations, global connections and world-
class learning environments and teaching.
As a Lincoln graduate you’ll arrive at your career
globally connected, forward thinking and ready to shape
tomorrow.
Lincoln is a safe haven that provides students with a
wealth of opportunities to develop leading-edge skills
here and in the real world. Just as importantly, you
will become part of a thriving and inclusive student
community, forging friendships that will last a lifetime.
It is my great pleasure to welcome you to Lincoln
University and this exciting new chapter of your life.
We truly look forward to helping you grow.
