The University of Waikato is ranked 68th out of 100 "most international" universities in the world by the influential Times Higher Education and it has 12 subjects ranked in the top 250 in the world.

From modest beginnings on what was largely farmland, the University of Waikato has grown to a student population of about 13,000 of whom more than 4800 complete a qualification annually. Today the University employs 2000 academic and support staff, making a significant contribution to the local and national economy.

They are committed to delivering a world-class education and research portfolio, providing a full and dynamic university experience, distinctive in character, and pursuing strong international links to advance knowledge.

Since their earliest days they have worked closely with iwi, particularly Tainui, to make the University accessible to Maori students and to foster an environment of success. They are proud of their evolution into a truly New Zealand institution, supporting their country's nation-building policies and reflecting their nation's identity.
