Victoria is a thriving community of over 20,000. Most, of course, are students – of all nationalities, from all walks of life – who have come to learn in the vital, open environment that only university study can offer.

The remainder are the 1,500 members of staff, all here for one reason. Whether they are an academic at the cutting edge of international research, a Faculty advisor, a Vic Volunteer helping a student with a disability, a librarian, the International Students’ staff member who met you at the airport, a campus gardener, the Māori Studies Ruahine, the Honours student taking your tutorial, the Vice-Chancellor or the one who serves you latte at Vicky’s – they are here to help you get the very most out of your time at Vic.
