Everything about The University Of New Zealand totally explained
The
University of New Zealand was the
New Zealand university from
1870 to
1961. It was the sole New Zealand university, having a federal structure embracing several constituent colleges at various locations around New Zealand. By the time it was dissolved into four independent universities and two associated agricultural colleges in 1961, it comprised the
University of Otago,
University of Canterbury,
University of Auckland,
Victoria University of Wellington,
Canterbury Agricultural College and
Massey Agricultural College.
The
University of Otago negotiated to keep its title of "university" when it joined the University of New Zealand in 1874, however, it agreed to award degrees of the University of New Zealand. which in turn assumed some functions of the University of New Zealand on its demise. When the university was dissolved matters concerning entrance to New Zealand universities became the responsibility of the Universities Entrance Board, a subcommittee of the University Grants Committee.
Other use of the name
Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, founded in
1984, used
The University of New Zealand as an English translation of its name, although it had no connection with the former University. After objections from bodies such as the New Zealand Vice-Chancellors' Committee (the heads of the universities) and the Ministry of Education over illegal use of a protected word (in this case,
university) and thus possible misleading advertising, the effective co-branding of the
wānanga was phased out. The institution is formally registered as a wānanga, one of four types of Crown-owned tertiary institutions under New Zealand law — the others being universities, colleges of education and polytechnics.
