Doctoral scholarships

UC offers a diverse range of scholarships to support students for study towards a research doctoral degree at Te Whare Wānanga o Waitaha | University of Canterbury. Find out more about doctoral scholarships at UC.

Whakamāramatanga | Key information

The UC Doctoral Scholarship and associated scholarships are now considered as part of the application-to-enrol process. Therefore, an application to study in a doctoral degree programme at UC is regarded as an application for most of our doctoral scholarships. Meeting the requirements for enrolment in a doctoral degree is one of the requirements for receiving a UC Doctoral Scholarship and/or an associated scholarship, and submitting the enrolment application will ensure you have provided all the required information for a scholarship application.

Along with being considered for the UC Doctoral Scholarship, applicants are also considered for all the other scholarships listed in the  regulations  of the UC scholarships for doctoral students. These scholarships are a mix of awards, which recognise success within certain categories (academic, women, Māori, Pasifika/Pacific students, etc.). 

The UC Doctoral Scholarship and associated scholarships, along with other UC-funded doctoral scholarships, are grouped into three categories. These, and their co-tenability conditions, are:

• Core  – Not co-tenable with any other Core scholarships.
• Prestige  – Co-tenable with Core scholarships.
• Recognition  – Co-tenable with Core scholarships and do not include additional monetary value.

To be eligible for the Prestige and Recognition scholarships, applicants must have already been awarded a Core scholarship. Because of this, Prestige and Recognition scholarships are awarded at the end of each academic year. If an applicant is awarded a Prestige scholarship, its value is added to the value of the Core Scholarship, so a stipend of $30,000 p.a. is increased to $35,000 p.a.

Please note:  These scholarships are subject to funding availability and are reviewed each year. The UC Scholarships Office administers most of these scholarships. Please search our  scholarships database  for all scholarships currently available.

Publication during the tenure of Doctoral or Master's studies enhances student’s employment prospects and, for UC, contributes to the enhancement of international university rankings.

Applicants other than those who have completed all their study at Victoria University of Wellington must include a copy of their academic record from other institutions with the application form.

Terms and conditions

These terms and conditions apply to Victoria Doctoral Scholarships awarded from April 2015 and Wellington Doctoral Scholarships awarded from 2020.

• Scholarship recipients are required to sign a Doctoral Research Scholarship Contract. The administrative supervisor and the primary or University supervisor will also sign the contract to indicate that they are aware of the terms and conditions of the scholarship and the contribution to the School required by this award.
• The tenure of every scholarship shall commence on a date to be determined in each case by the Wellington Faculty of Graduate Research after discussion with appropriate School and supervisor. The date of commencement shall normally be no later than six months after the scholarship has been accepted by the scholarship recipient for domestic students and nine months for international students.

• Once the period of tenure of a scholarship has commenced, the Faculty of Graduate Research may, grant a scholarship recipient a suspension of their scholarship for a period not exceeding six months or a total of twelve months during the first three years of registration. As the monthly stipend is paid in advance the recipient must provide notification in advance of the suspension. In most cases the scholarship suspension will coincide with a formal suspension from their Doctoral enrolment.

• A scholarship shall be terminated if a scholarship recipient ceases to resume the aforesaid programme of research within one month of the last day of the period of the suspension.
• The scholarship recipient must complete six monthly reports outlining their progress to date and ensure that copies of these reports are available to the Scholarships Office.
• The Committee may at any time suspend or terminate a scholarship, or require the forfeiture of such proportion of the scholarship emolument as it may determine, if the scholarship recipient is not diligently pursuing their programme of research and is not making satisfactory progress, has violated the University Statute on Conduct, or has failed to comply with any of the terms and conditions on which the scholarship was awarded and of their Victoria Doctoral Scholarship Contract.
• At the discretion of the Committee, the application of any of the terms and conditions of a Wellington Doctoral Scholarship may be modified or relaxed in special circumstances or in order to avoid hardship to any scholarship recipient or misuse of the scholarship funding.

How To Reduce Cost Of Living In New Zealand?

Here are some recommendations to lessen your cost of living in New Zealand as an Indian student:

• Craft a Comprehensive Budget: Establish a realistic budget outlining your income and anticipated expenditures. Categorise essential costs like housing, utilities, and groceries. Allocate remaining funds efficiently, and prioritize needs over wants.
• Embrace Cost-Effective Accommodation: Explore alternatives to high-rent areas. Consider shared flats, homestays, or smaller abodes outside city centres. Research government housing assistance programs if eligible.
• Negotiate Rent and Bills: When possible, engage in respectful negotiation with landlords or service providers regarding rent or utility charges. Explore bundled service packages for potential savings.
• Become a Savvy Shopper: Prioritise grocery shopping at discount supermarkets or local farmer’s markets. Utilise loyalty programs and discount apps to maximise value. Plan meals to minimise food waste.
• Embrace Public Transportation or Active Commutes: Utilise efficient public transportation networks like buses or trains for cost-effective commuting. Consider cycling or walking for shorter distances to save on transportation expenses and improve health.
• Reassess Utility Consumption: Implement measures to reduce energy and water usage. Utilise energy-efficient appliances, practice responsible lighting habits and take shorter showers.
• Review and Renegotiate Subscriptions: Evaluate recurring subscriptions for entertainment, phone plans, or internet access. Research alternative providers or negotiate better rates with existing ones if possible.
• Embrace DIY Solutions: Consider learning basic maintenance or repair skills for simple household tasks. Explore free online tutorials or community workshops to empower yourself and minimise reliance on professional services.
• Seek Out Free Entertainment: New Zealand boasts stunning natural landscapes and communities. Explore free recreational activities like hiking, swimming at public beaches, or attending free cultural events.
• Embrace Flatmates or Co-living Arrangements: Sharing accommodation with responsible flatmates can significantly reduce housing costs. This can be particularly beneficial in larger cities with high rental demands.

New nurses graduate from first dedicated New Zealand nursing school to open in 20 years

New Zealand's nursing crisis got a shot in the arm on Wednesday with the first-ever cohort of Waikato University's nurses graduating. 

It's the first dedicated nursing school to open in New Zealand in 20 years and was designed during the pandemic to help address the shortage in primary care, community and mental health.

More from Newshub

Within months of starting the three year degree, students were already on placement ticking off more than the usual 1100 practical hours.

"Nursing students are being educated to match the needs of the population. The courage the University showed to establish a new school of nursing during a global pandemic, is just phenomenal" said Health NZ Te Whatu Ora Waikato Chief Nursing Officer Sue Hayward.

There are 28,200 nurses working full time across Health NZ's database but New Zealand still needs 8000 nurses by 2032 to keep up with population growth.

Waikato University Director of Nursing Cheryl Atherfold described the new programme as "responsive and agile" with a real emphasis on mental health and addiction.

"Some of these nurses are already meeting expectations from their communities. They have been sponsored and received financial support and they are going back there to rural communities," Atherfold said.

21-year-old Ben Scanlon is among the sixty graduates now registered as a nurse and working in community and mental health, primary care, Māori health or in hospitals.  

His late father was a doctor, and his mother is a nurse.

"I've been loving the adrenaline rush within urgent care and on the GP side, learning two different areas is amazing" he told Newshub from his new workplace at Tui Medical Centre in Rototuna, Hamilton.

He admits the lure of better pay in conditions offshore in countries like Australia who've run aggressive marketing campaigns, is tempting but he's not going anywhere just yet.  

"I've got to be honest it's always a temptation to go to Australia I've had classmates who want to go, others will stay but I'm really happy with the great team at Tui Medical," Scanlon said.

Dean of Health Prof Jo Lane said the new nursing programmes are a tangible expression of the University's motto: Ko Te Tangata - For the People.

"Our nursing programmes were initiated and co-developed in partnership with local health stakeholders as a direct response to the desperate shortage of nurses in our region," Prof Lane said.

Health NZ's Sue Hayward said this is one of many initiatives underway to improve recruitment and retain New Zealand nurses.

"It's up to us now to provide them with a first year of clinical practice that is so satisfying, so rewarding that they are committed to keep providing care to the population that needs their skills and knowledge."

Scanlon is under no illusions it's a workforce under pressure but said for him it's about "getting home at the end of the day knowing [he's] made an impact".

UC College of Nursing ranks highly in U.S. News & World Report rankings

The UC College of Nursing's programs were once again recognized by U.S. News & World Report's 2024 Best Graduate Nursing Programs rankings.

The rankings — pulled from surveying programs offered by public, private and for-profit institutions — are based on factors such as graduation rates, academic and career support services offered to students and admissions selectivity. The College's rankings include:

• No. 11 Best Nurse Anesthesia Program , climbing 11 positions from the previous ranking and placing in the top 9% of accredited programs in the country
• No. 37 Nurse Midwifery Program
• No. 41 Master of Science in Nursing , placing in the top 7% of accredited programs in the country
• No. 49 Doctor of Nursing Practice , climbing 13 positions from last year and placing in the top 13% of accredited programs in the country

“We are proud to consistently offer quality nursing education to a growing number of students across the country,” says the college’s Interim Dean Gordon Gillespie, PhD. “Our strong history of and commitment to providing quality, innovative and affordable education for both our on-campus and online students is reflected in our continued placement in these and other rankings.”

The UC College of Nursing was the first in the U.S. to offer a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and remains a nationally recognized institution for its academic standards, diversity and inclusion efforts, technology application and research activity. Today, the college's more than 20,000 living alumni proudly reflect its tradition of leadership and core values as they work to improve the health of individuals and communities around the world.

These recognitions confirm the college’s commitment to preparing advanced-practice nurses ready to have a positive impact on their patients’ health and well-being by designing, providing and assessing quality and safe care to all.
