Description:
The University of Canterbury has modern and well-equipped facilities spread across a spacious suburban campus. The university has easy access to the center of the city and the cultural and recreational facilities it provides. Canterbury is a medium-sized university (about 13,000 students), which makes it easy for students to get to know each other. The university has an international reputation for academic excellence in teaching and research.

The University is located in Christchurch, the largest city in New Zealand's South Island. With the shallow Avon River winding through its center, Christchurch has been called the most "English" of New Zealand's cities. Named after the college and cathedral at Christ Church, Oxford, (population 300,000+) , it is on the east coast of New Zealand's South Island, at the edge of Canterbury Plains, close by the Lyttleton Harbor, and within an hour and a half of the Southern Alps and the tourist centers of Mt. Cook and Queenstown.
