In this program, facilitated by IFSA-Butler, students enroll directly in Victoria University of Wellington, a compact, cosmopolitan and vibrant academic setting. The university offers the opportunity to participate in the Victoria International Leadership Program, an academically-oriented extracurricular program. Students are housed with local and international students in furnished flats within walking distance of main campus and the city center, or close to public transportation. Wellington is New Zealand's political, cultural and creative capital city, offering tons of big-city attractions, including the national museum Te Papa Tongarewa, International Festival of the Arts and a variety of sporting events throughout the year, all situated on a beautiful harbor.
This program is located in the Southern Hemisphere, where the academic calendar differs from the Northern Hemisphere. Please check the start and end dates carefully to make sure they don't conflict with other obligations, such as a summer internship.
