Proudly touting itself as New Zealand’s smallest university, but with rankings to rival the larger ones in the country – top 1.2% globally according to QS ratings – Lincoln University specialises in Agriculture, as it has since its inception in 1880. Keeping pace with the demands of the twenty-first century, it has since increased its areas of focus to include other agriculture and land-based subjects, including Horticulture, Viticulture, Food, Wine and Beer, Landscape Architecture, Property and Valuation, Tourism, Disaster Management and so on.
Despite its size, Lincoln University, located in Christchurch, has the highest number of academic researchers than elsewhere in New Zealand. And with just over 2000 students – out of which almost 1000 are international – Lincoln University boasts small class sizes and low teacher-student ratios, meaning that, should you choose to study here, you would get the most out of the available resources.
