Home > University of New Zealand

The former University of New Zealand existed as New Zealand's only degree awarding university from 1870 to 1961. It had federal structure based on that of the University of London. It was based at the Senate House on Bowen Street in Wellington, New Zealand

1 History

The University of New Zealand Act set up the University in 1870, however a formal structure was not agreed upon until 1902.

The Universities Act of 1961 dissolved the university and granted degree-conferring powers to the constituent Colleges.

The University of Otago formed a special case, because when it joined the University of New Zealand in 1874, it negotiated to keep its full university status, with the power to award its own degrees, but it agreed to indefinitely suspend awards of degrees of the University of Otago and instead award degrees of the University of New Zealand. Upon dissolution of the University of New Zealand, the University of Otago called its degree-awarding powers out of abeyance.

The Wellington Grammar School became an affiliated college of the University in 1872 and changed its name to the Wellington College and Grammar School. After the College ceased to be affiliated to the University, the College did not revert to the name Wellington Grammar School, and now it is simply known as Wellington College.

2 Secondary School qualifications previously awarded by the UNZ

The University used to set its own entrance examination and also used to award bursaries and scholarships to financially assist study. These were considered de-facto national qualifications since no other significant competing awards existed. These awards, New Zealand University Entrance (taken in the Sixth Form) and the New Zealand University Entrance Scholarship (taken in the Upper Sixth Form), were awarded, by examination, by the University until its dissolution. Upon dissolution awarding powers were transferred to the Government-controlled Universities Entrance Board, which formalised these as qualifications. The Universities Entrance Board was in turn amalgamated into the New Zealand Qualifications Authority in 1990.

The New Zealand University Bursary began to be awarded in 1966 after the dissolution of the University, as student retention numbers in the Upper Sixth Form increased in the 1960s and not all Upper Sixth pupils had the calibre to succeed at Scholarship level.

The Bursary and Entrance Scholarship awards finished in 2003 and have been abolished. Bursary will be replaced by the National Certificate of Educational Achievement at level III, and the Entrance Scholarship will be replaced by the New Zealand Scholarship. Both are awarded by examination, though the NCEA contains some internally assessed modules.
