Academic work
The programme comprises 40 academic contact hours plus independent project work. Through a series of classes and fieldtrips, students will learn about New Zealand and Christchurch society with a particular focus on Maori culture, innovation and community engagement. Alongside this, they will work in small groups developing an idea designed to improve a particular aspect of a city of their choice. They will receive mentoring along the way with a view to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.
The course also aims to foster the ability to work in an international and multicultural environment with each group including at least one UC student. To complete the requirements of the course, students must submit three written reflections about their experience, focussing on the theme of living and working with difference. They must also prepare and give a final presentation about the idea their group has developed.

UC prides itself on providing a high quality experience to students who participate in our short courses. Students will be looked after like family from before they even arrive in Christchurch. We will organise travel insurance for them, meet them at the airport and take them to their accommodation, provide them with a NZ sim card with free calling, text messages and data, as well as a bus card with money pre-loaded on it—all at no extra cost. We will also take them to the airport at the end and make sure they get safely on the plane to go home or wherever their next stop is.
The students will stay in accommodation within walking distance of their classes and where they will each have their own bedroom.Moreover, they will be provided with three meals a day at their accommodation. There will also be dedicated support staff who are available 24/7 to provide assistance and to answer any questions that students might have.
