Students must be enrolled in a minimum of 45 points in order to be considered a full-time student. 60 points (3-4 courses) per trimester is the maximum and recommended course load for exchange students.

1 credit point at Victoria University of Wellington is equivalent to 0.5 ECTS.

Information about courses offered each year can be found on our Course finder and Study Abroad and Exchange pages.

Not every course is offered every year/trimester, so students may need to search a little to find where their course is.

Most courses are available to Study Abroad and Exchange students, but some are restricted, have limited entry, or have earlier application deadlines.
