The Kelburn campus in New Zealand is home to the Humanities and Social Science, Engineering, Health, Social Science, and Education departments. The second site is Pipitea Campus.

At the heart of our commitment to tikanga Mori is Te Herenga Waka, the marae (Mori meeting house and grounds) at our institution (Mori cultural traditions). Campus residents, such as students and their whnau, can congregate here as well.
