Being from Canada, I was initially attracted to the notion of taking an LLB in New Zealand because of the warmer climate. What also appealed was the fact I could complete an LLB in less time than it would take in Canada, the price was similar and I’d be able to use the degree back home. Getting to travel was another bonus.

Waikato Law doesn’t require an intermediate year, which means you can take that leap of faith and go overseas to complete a degree with a little more certainty, and that’s a great advantage. I particularly enjoy the multi-cultural emphasis of Waikato.

In addition to a strong M�ori component, Waikato has attracted professors from all over the globe including Canada, South Africa, the United States and Scotland! This emphasis on diversity is also reflected in the student population.

With half of my LLB behind me, I look forward to the remaining two years I have at the University of Waikato, and the many opportunities to come.
