Just 20-30 minutes by car or bus from the South Island’s largest city, the University offers the perfect environment for undisturbed study, while close to all that Christchurch has to offer.

Academic Highlights

Lincoln University excels in areas such as agriculture and agricultural science, bio-protection technologies, horticulture, viticulture and oenology, environmental management, and landscape architecture.

Nearby, Christchurch offers urban attractions such as pubs, clubs, music, movies, theatre, the arts, cafes, restaurants and a range of sporting activities and facilities.

On campus, there is a golf driving range, tennis courts and a superb sports and recreation centre, complete with fitness studio, squash courts and an outdoor fitness track. Lincoln University Students’ Association (LUSA) offers a full program of activities throughout the academic year.

Community Involvement

While abroad, we recommend getting involved in your local community. It's an awesome way to meet locals, experience the true New Zealand culture, and create long lasting memories. From volunteering to festival-going, we challenge you to make the most of your international experience... See a sample of community involvement opportunities available in the Christchurch area or discover your own upon arrival!

You'll get a taste of how enriching community involvement can be during your first few days in New Zealand on the GlobaLinks Learning Abroad Bridging Cultures Program. The program includes one day of pre-arranged volunteering with the local community. You'll interact directly with locals while giving back to and sharing your own culture with the community that first welcomes you to New Zealand. Plus, you can continue your volunteer efforts later in the semester by signing up for the GlobaLinks Learning Abroad Conservation Volunteer Weekend.

Enhance Your Experience

Global Citizens Development Modules

The Global Citizen Development modules are online learning components designed to help you explore your study abroad destination and experience at a whole new level. These modules are not mandatory, however we strongly encourage your participation as they will introduce you to the opportunities and challenges you may encounter when participating in a study abroad program, as well as expose you to cultural insights and knowledge about your host country to help make your program abroad even more successful and fulfilling. Through the 3 modules, you will refine your skills in cross-cultural observation, adaptation, and communication.
