Since I was in New Zealand from the age of 2, so I liked this university and this university was near my home land and therefore I got admission here.

We have a very good campus life. We have Unirek where we can do anything so we can play badminton, we get gym membership, we get swimming pool access, there are 4 libraries with diversity of sciences and technology, we have computer lab where we can spend the whole day. Here we have Waikato International Student Association, so here there are lot of students associated pipe. We have some clubs for various sports such as Rugby, Badminton etc. in which we can join through unirek. There is a community for Gujaratis, Indians, etc. So, we celebrate every Indian festival.

I wanted to study at the University which is highly prestigious and recognisable throughout the globe. The placement records were one of the factors which sincerely drove me to get an admission here. The overall exposure provided as well as the value of the name is much more as compared to any other universities under the same class. I did extensive research about which university and course should I pursue for my career and ultimately I choose to study here.

The campus life was very amazing, the size of a campus was small and packed. There were tons of clubs and societies available which one can join according to their interest. Although due to this pandemic my whole quotes period has been spent through online classes so I haven't got the opportunity to experience the best campus life that could have been possible. There was a high speed Wi-Fi facility available throughout the campus premises which was a good thing for sure. Lastly there was a library which had almost all the books that you could think for and was one of the most favoured places by Research Scholars.

New Zealand is a small market compared to any large market countries like UK or USA. I preferred this university because the course I pursued there is actually relevant to what I wanted to do in my career ahead. The course curriculum didn't have any semester or trimester system. Each and every paper were given sole training continuously and the impact of group discussion was high. The entire learning method is different from what we learn in India. The concept of exams wasn't there for most of the papers I studied at this university.

My entire tuition fee, inclusive of medical insurance and other fees cost me up to - INR Rs15,55,987. My course duration was 18 months.

Reputed program with a dedicated cyber security, the first of its kind in New Zealand.

The Hamilton campus has almost all facilities you could need and others can be arranged upon request. The vibrant student community has a lot of activities to engage in, based upon one's own interest. The sporting scene is pretty good with a lot of social and professional clubs into different sports.
