Where it is:
Victoria University of Wellington is located in New Zealand’s political, cultural and creative capital, with campuses at four different sites within the central city. Lonely Planet Best in Travel 2011 named Wellington the ‘coolest little capital in the world’ and the fourth best city to visit.
Situated at the southern tip of New Zealand’s North Island, between a beautiful harbour and rolling green hills, Wellington is a compact, dynamic, and fun city and a great place to study and live. It combines all the sophistication and opportunities of a major city with the charm, safety, cleanliness and friendliness of a town.
