International Exchange – Undergraduate/Postgraduate (Inbound)
Course details
About the course
Come and spend a semester at Lincoln University and experience the best that Aotearoa New Zealand has to offer.
Haere mai – Welcome!
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.
