About the Faculty of Science at Victoria University
We are located in Wellington, the Science Capital of New Zealand.
The Faculty is made up of five Schools which offer excellent teaching and world-leading research programmes in a wide range of fields. From Psychology to Physics and Maths to Marine Biology, the opportunities for study are numerous - in fact, most students have trouble choosing.
All our students are encouraged to succeed, with individual attention available when it's needed. The Āwhina programme is the on-campus whānau (family) for those of Māori and Pacific descent.
Our academic staff are highly regarded internationally and many are acknowledged each year with research and teaching awards in their specialist areas.
The Faculty has well-established links with the many Wellington-based Crown Research Institutes and government agencies, and students benefit from research collaboration opportunities and summer placements with these organisations.
Wellington is a thriving city and a great place to live. The Faculty of Science is centrally located on Victoria's Kelburn Campus. Our new Alan MacDiarmid building opened in mid-2010, providing much needed laboratory and office space for the growing numbers of students who are proud to call Victoria their university.
