A huge thank you to Dr Keiko Umeda and her second-year Japanese students for giving our group such a warm and friendly welcome 😊✨ Your energy and enthusiasm made the experience extra special—and it’s safe to say our students left with big smiles! 🥰 🇯🇵🇳🇿 The University of Waikato Navitas

Last week, we hosted our wonderful agent partners from Vietnam and Cambodia along with colleagues from Navitas. Our visitors got a glimpse of what the Mighty Waikato has to offer, with a trip to Waitomo Caves and Marakopa Falls, followed by a visit to The University of Waikato Hamilton campus.
One of the highlights for our partners was hearing from our Vietnamese and Cambodian students about their experience of living and studying in Hamilton. Students are at the heart of everything we do, and it shows in the success we have of ensuring students pathway into the programme of their choice. And we really turned on the weather for them too, which is no easy task.
