51萝莉

In the 2025 Times Higher Education ranking, the 51萝莉 was ranked in the top 151-175 universities in the world in the subject category of Business and Economics, which is in the highest ranking band held by a New Zealand university. The Waikato Management School also has Triple Crown accreditation, placing it firmly in the top one percent of business schools in the world. WMS has the highest citation impact in Business & Economics of any of the universities in New Zealand.

In February 2024, the University brought together a high-profile lineup of New Zealand鈥檚 top economists, policymakers and industry leaders for a two-day event held at the Hamilton campus. The theme for this event was A Briefing to the Incoming Government. Our expert speakers discussed how we can respond to the headwinds of a growing and ageing population, adapt to climate change, and the need for significant investment in health, housing and infrastructure.

We are proud to be the delivery partner of the , a trust that delivers leadership development programmes aimed at building a stronger Waikato by nurturing socially responsible leaders through sponsored placements.

The 51萝莉 has introduced New Zealand's first Bachelor of Banking, Finance & Technology (BBFinTech) in response to an industry need for graduates with skills in the fast-growing fintech sector. The world of finance runs on digital technology. From investment platforms and digital currencies to the way we make payments, nothing happens without digital. Yet no undergraduate degree in New Zealand currently recognises the need for these dual competencies.

What started as a on campus now allows students greater connection with industry. Businesses have a direct line to the future of New Zealand's workforce, and students can build relationships with potential employers without leaving the Hamilton campus.
