Marine Science Opportunities for Students

Our partner university in New Zealand, the University of Waikato, has shared an opportunity for Marine Science Students.

Applications for the Marine Science for Conservation short programme close at 11:59pm on March 1. The programme runs for 6 weeks, June 29-August 7, 2026, and provides science students with an exciting hands-on opportunity to explore marine science in an Aotearoa New Zealand context.

Students are also invited to attend theĀ 6th Australia New Zealand Marine Biotechnology Society (ANZMBS) conference, 26-28 August, at our Tauranga campus. More than 200 experts, researchers, and industry leaders will present cutting-edge developments in marine biotechnology.

There is a discounted rate available to students who attend the Marine Science for Conservation short programme. For any questions contact: shortprogrammes@waikato.ac.nz.

Registration is through the letter of permission process, not through the exchange program.
