International Buddy Programme

The International Buddy Programme (IBP) is coordinated by the International Student Services Office (ISSO). The International Buddy Program was created for new international students as a way to help them transition into their new environment.

New international students are matched with a senior student who will be a friendly face, show them around campus and help adjust to kiwi culture and university life during their first trimester. It's a fantastic opportunity to socialise, meet students from around the world and share cultures and experiences.

Note: This programme is currently only available to enrolled students studying at our Hamilton Campus.
