Study Abroad

We are passionate about our connection to the land. We want to help you to shape the world through a better understanding of the relationships between land, food and ecosystems. 

At Lincoln, we offer world-class research and teaching facilities and the student to teacher ratio is very low, so you will experience a more personal connection with your classes. There's a huge emphasis on field trips for practical experience and to inspire you, so many of our courses will take you out of the lecture halls and into nature. 

New Zealand is the global capital of adventure tourism. From the mountains to the sea, there is beauty in every direction. As a university, we are determined to keep it that way, so we are heavily committed to improving sustainability through our teaching and research. 

Add New Zealand to your résumé and excitement to your memories. 

What can you study? 

A lot depends on your academic background, but you can choose from any of the courses in our faculties.

Where would you stay? 

There are plenty of options, either fully-catered or self-catered. The university has halls of residence, flats and some houses that are just a few minutes’ walk from your lectures.
