UNDERGRADUATE QUALIFICATIONS

BAgrSc/BAgr

Bachelor of Agriculture and Bachelor of Agricultural Science Lincoln University offers New Zealand’s only named Bachelor of Agriculture degrees - Agriculture and Agricultural Science. You will learn from some of New Zealand’s top researchers and lecturers in this field. With more than half of New Zealand’s export income coming from dairy products, meat and wool, job opportunities are plenty. Work as a farm manager or any of the numerous agricultural-related jobs, including farm consultancy; rural banking; sales and marketing; research; or positions in rural supply companies.

You can also use your qualification off shore, where Lincoln University’s reputation and New Zealand’s expertise in the agricultural sector can open exciting doors.

Mathew Wild Specialist Bachelor of Agricultural Science LANDED Fertigation Specialist, Ravensdown Fertiliser A Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours was a natural choice for Matt Wild, who grew up in Southland.

“Growing up in the sheep industry sparked a passion and interest in agriculture from a young age. I have always enjoyed spending time in the outdoors and being involved with animals, and I have a passion for soils and plants. My studies enabled me to gain the skills to contribute back to the industry, to reach my aim of improving the sustainability and profitability of farming businesses.

Introduction This degree has evolved substantially over the years and now addresses the expectations of international markets, including the European Union, for food to be traceable from ‘paddock to plate.’

You’ll gain a comprehensive knowledge of the wider environmental issues associated with food and fibre production as well as international trade and marketing issues. Quality assurance and social and political issues centred around international trade are also covered.

Course structure The Bachelor of Agriculture is a three year degree programme. If you want to specialise further or undertake an honours programme, enrol in the Bachelor of Agricultural Science, which is a four year degree.

Both degrees have a strong practical base and require 39 weeks of approved practical work, ensuring you gain a broad understanding of the principles and practice of production, processing and marketing. This component, which must be completed before the degree is awarded, is usually carried out during summer vacations throughout the time you study. There is also the opportunity to choose areas of specialisation.

“I also gained real world skills, where I am able to confidently communicate in all types of situations, such as one-on-one to a farmer or in front of large discussion groups. The hands-on focus made learning fun, interesting, and helped students to better understand the theoretical properties being taught from a practical sense. I value Lincoln University for academic excellence, but also for creating an environment that is enjoyable, sociable and down to earth.”

BCom (Ag)

Bachelor of Commerce (Agriculture) This degree is for you if you’re looking for a focused qualification as a platform for a management level career in New Zealand’s largest industry, agriculture.

Graduates’ careers include farm and horticultural consultancy; farm management; property management; rural banking; rural valuation; agribusiness and positions in the fertiliser, seed and livestock industries.

Grant McNaughtan Specialist Bachelor of Commerce (Agriculture) Landed Technical Manager, Wilfarm Enterprises For New Zealand Young Farmer of the Year 2010, Grant McNaughton, Lincoln University ignited his passion for agriculture. “Lincoln University was where I truly found my passion for agribusiness,” says Grant. “I chose the Bachelor of Commerce in Agriculture because it also gave me exposure to marketing and commerce – important for any agribusiness going forward – as well as animal, plant, and soil science, and farm management. I loved the culture of the university, where people knew how to work hard and play hard. It was somewhere I could study, grow my knowledge, and have a hell of a good time while getting a world-recognised qualification.

Introduction Agriculture and related industries currently account for more than 50% of New Zealand’s total export income. Our primary producers consistently outperform competitors across the world. However, if we’re going to stay competitive, we need managers who have strong commercial acumen as well as a world-class understanding of agricultural and horticultural production systems. Where better to get that level of expertise than New Zealand’s specialist land-based university?

Olivia van der Pol Specialist Bachelor of Commerce (Valuation and Property Management) Landed Project Administrator, Arrow International Olivia van der Pol is enjoying playing her part in the rebuild of Christchurch and credits her degree from Lincoln University for preparing her for her challenging new role. “I was lucky enough to be offered a future leaders scholarship and Lincoln University was one of the only universities offering courses in property management,” says Olivia.

“I loved the variety that the degree offered, covering a vast range of subjects – from finance to property development and real estate, and how they all worked together. The field trips were a great opportunity to see the specific learning material brought into context. To land my job, that was very important – you need that real world understanding. The lecturers were pretty cool – most had their own businesses relevant to what I studied, and were only too happy to impart their wisdom to us.

I wouldn’t give up the three years I spent there for anything.”

BEMP

Bachelor of Environmental Management and Planning If you are interested in the complex balance between the natural and built environment, people, and the economy, and aspire to a career managing environmental change and the challenges associated with this, then Lincoln University’s Bachelor of Environmental Management and Planning degree is the degree for you.

The global growth in environmental issues has meant that the demand for qualified personnel far exceeds supply. Graduates gain employment in local or central government, environmental and planning consultancies, non-governmental organisations, Iwi, private businesses and Crown enterprises.

Corinne Frischknecht Specialist Bachelor of Environmental Management Landed Consent Planner, Resource Management Consultancy Limited

Introduction

Corinne Frischknecht says the practical nature of her Bachelor of Environmental Management at Lincoln University gave her the best possible preparation for her career.

“My degree helped me to gain a greater understanding of how we can manage relationships between human systems and the environment, thereby enabling better decision making processes,” says Corinne.

One of the great strengths of Lincoln University’s BEMP is that it focuses on inter-relationships between the ecological, social and economic aspects of the environment. If you’re someone who likes to be right in the midst of the action, this degree provides the depth of understanding needed to converse easily with the scientific community, the business world and various management agencies. It will train you to scope and analyse situations, listen to many points of view, formulate options and facilitate desirable planning and policy responses – the very skills needed by environmental managers of the future. If you are interested in planning, the Lincoln University Planning Association (LUPA) provides a forum for students interested in planning to participate in extra-curricular planning-related activities.

“The hands on assignments and projects have given me a great base for the work I’m doing now.

I think that’s Lincoln University’s biggest strength – how relevant and applicable the skills you learn are.

And because of the smaller class sizes, our lecturers were friendly.

Course structure

“In the future, I’d like to get more involved in urban design, and to contribute in creating and shaping cities and towns on a local and national scale. My time at Lincoln University has provided me with the foundations to do this.”

Additional majors and minors available If you want to, you can complete an additional major or minor within your degree, such as Professional Planning; Energy, Transport and Environment; Conservation and Ecology; Environmental Biogeosciences; Water Science and Technology; Ma-ori Studies; Landscape; Urban Ecology of Sustainable Business, and more.

Environmental concerns and issues of sustainability and resilience are gaining prominence with government across all levels, industries, companies, communities and individuals. Many now seek a better understanding of the implications of their actions and are developing strategies to respond to these concerns. Demand continues to increase for qualified people who can advise on the best approaches to take.

The three year BEMP degree provides a broad-based education covering environmental, social and economic issues, however there is also scope to develop your own specialisation. The degree itself is made up of 24 courses, 14 of which are compulsory. The elective courses can be chosen from the range of other undergraduate courses available at Lincoln University to reflect a range of interests and career aspirations.

BSc

Bachelor of Science If you are interested in a science career, but want to have the choice of working in the field or a laboratory, then Lincoln University’s Bachelor of Science degree is the qualification for you. The University’s applied programmes are unique - firmly anchored in the scientific needs and issues that underpin production of our country’s food and fibre, while protecting our resources.

Sarena Che Omar Specialist Bachelor of Science Landed PhD candidate at Oxford University, United Kingdom Sarena Che Omar’s interest in genetics made the decision to study at Lincoln University an easy one.

“Lincoln University is one of only a few universities in New Zealand offering a Biotechnology degree involving molecular genetics, which is a new and very interesting field.”

After her BSc degree, she decided to further her study with an honours degree. She didn’t stop there though. Sarena applied and gained acceptance to Oxford University in the UK to study a fully sponsored PhD degree researching human population genetics on ancient human migrations in Southeast Asia.

“My supervisors and lecturers at Lincoln University inspired me and guided me in genetics and taught me about producing quality research.”

Originally from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Sarena liked the diverse student population and enjoyed the relaxed and close-knit atmosphere on campus which made her feel at home.

BLA

Bachelor of Landscape Architecture If you are interested in design, the environment, people and development you should think about Lincoln University’s Bachelor or Masters of Landscape Architecture degrees.

The University’s School of Landscape Architecture is highly regarded both nationally and internationally as one of the leading institutions at which to study for a professional qualification in landscape architecture . Graduates, trained to take a holistic approach to design, are employed as landscape architects, urban planners and designers with local and regional Councils and in professional consultancies where they work on commercial, industrial and institutional projects, new towns, urban centres and rural community developments.

Chris Chen Specialist Bachelor of Landscape Architecture Landed Landscape Architect, Pocock Design: Environment Originally from Chengdu, China, Chris says his time at Lincoln University was one of the most challenging and rewarding times of his life.

“I had the most challenging years of my life at Lincoln University, which also turned out be the most important years, as the new environment enabled me to change my way of living, thinking and studying completely. I had lots of fun, while also putting in a lot of hard work.

“One of the most valuable aspects of my study was the need and ability to think ‘large scale’. This has helped me immensely in my current role. I really enjoyed the freedom of managing my own time beside compulsory classes and studios.

Introduction The acclaimed School of Landscape Architecture is recognised as a global leader in Landscape Architecture education and research. The School offers the only accredited landscape degrees in the South Island. It is based in a purpose built building, offering individual work places in a stunning studio setting in the heart of the Lincoln University campus. If you are keen on international experience, the School of Landscape Architecture has exchange programmes in place with top universities in North America and Europe, giving you the opportunity to study internationally as part of your degree. And if you want to keep travelling once you graduate you will be able to take your degree overseas where its international reputation means it is recognised world wide as a quality qualification.

The programmes Lincoln University’s BLA programme is a wonderful opportunity if you want to use your interest in design and environment to help create exciting, enjoyable and sustainable urban and rural environments. You’ll learn to take a holistic approach to landscape design and planning, and will develop the skills, knowledge and understanding needed for successful and responsible professional practice in landscape architecture. The practical work and community-based projects provide real experience that benefits your transition to the workforce. Combine this experience with skills to deliver creative and conceptually robust landscape design and planning solutions, and it’s no wonder that this degree is valued by employers in New Zealand and beyond.

Course structure

“My time at Lincoln University changed me completely – I was given back the confidence as a student that was lost during my middle and high school study back in China.”

Lincoln University offers a four year Undergraduate BLA, and for students who already hold a degree, there is a choice of a two year Graduate Entry BLA and a two and half year MLA programme (including bridging). All three degrees are fully accredited by the New Zealand Institute of Landscape Architects and internationally recognised.

Page 24

www.lincoln.ac.nz

Because these degrees are professionally accredited, they are largely prescribed, but there is an opportunity for specialisation by choosing a minor or taking elective courses. Compulsory courses cover the areas of natural and social sciences; landscape technical and professional courses, and theory courses, all of which are integrated and applied in studio courses that make up almost half the degree.

Examples of minors include Design Critique; Maori Studies; Spatial Planning; Urbanism and Design; Tourism Management; and Sustainable Business. Find out more at: www.lincoln.ac.nz/majorsandminors The first year of the BLA is a foundation year that covers a wide range of disciplines, giving you an opportunity to test your aptitude for design and gain a broader understanding of the landscape’s bio-physical and social components . The second year has a strong focus on core professional skills and knowledge. In years three and four, you continue to develop your skills and knowledge while following your interests by taking courses that contribute to a minor.

For undergraduate students there is a 12 week practical work requirement - made up of six weeks in a professional design office, and six weeks involved in an aspect of landscape implementation. Graduate entry students are required to do six weeks of practical work.

What you’ll study The degree’s first-year focuses on design and design communication skills, understanding the landscape’s bio-physical, social and cultural character, and foundation skills in landscape construction.

Year two includes courses on Site Planning and Design, History of Design and Culture, Planting Design, Planting Practice, Geographic Information Systems and Landscape Construction. In years three and four, courses include Design Theory; Sustainable Design, Landscape Ecology, Complex Site Design; Professional Practice and an Individual Major Design Project.

BV&O

Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology New Zealand wines are highly regarded internationally and the New Zealand industry is now a world-player with its own recognised and emulated wine styles. If you’re keen to be part of a sector contributing vigorously to this country’s global reputation, consider the record of Lincoln University’s graduates in viticulture and oenology. They are employed and respected across the industry, in New Zealand and overseas.

As markets continue to expand there is an ongoing demand for graduates with the academic and applied skills delivered by this degree. Lincoln University graduates currently work as winemakers, international marketers, vineyard managers, winery managers and researchers.

Anton Stadniczenko Specialist Bachelor of Viticulture & Oenology Landed Assistant Manager, Penfolds Vineyards Anton Stadniczenko says he chose to study at Lincoln University because of its strong reputation in his chosen field of study – viticulture.

“Viticulture was a very attractive industry to me, and I could see it was getting to be a big part of New Zealand’s farming future,” says Anton. “Lincoln University’s viticulture and oenology course is very well-regarded globally – it also has a great reputation for agricultural related studies. And, because of the range of courses on offer at Lincoln University, I was also able to tie in some commerce and marketing papers to help broaden my knowledge base at the same time.

“My studies helped to put viticulture and winemaking into perspective. It’s not a standalone industry; it’s highly dependent on many other factors, such as marketing, finance, biology, and management. My time at Lincoln University was a very satisfying experience that definitely put me in great shape for the future. I’m glad I made the most of it.”

Bill Wiessing Specialist Diploma in Horticulture, Diploma in Horticultural Management Landed Manages Avocado Orchard “Information exchange” was the best part of Bill Wiessing’s study experience at Lincoln University.

“Questions that had been bugging me for years I got answers to,” he says. “And the ability to dig deeper when I needed to was encouraged.”

Originally from Kaitaia, Bill enrolled at Lincoln University because, after finishing his trade certificate/ apprenticeship, he felt his job had “stagnated” “Lincoln University prepared me for the financial side, the management principles, the people skills, and it helped me mature. “ “They gave exposure to the inside of industries rarely seen and provided opportunities to make contacts to call on at a later stage.”

Today Bill manages practically all aspects of a 200-hectare avocado orchard with 7000 avocado trees.

The eight halls of residence are located near each other on the Lincoln University campus, and residents in the catered halls dine together each day. You can get involved in the many social events and recreational facilities in their Hall – ranging from live concerts to parties, video evenings and sports competitions. There is always something going on.

Generally, first year students choose the catered halls. Later, they tend to move to the semi-catered halls or self-catered units.

Semi-Catered A semi-catered option was introduced in 2010 and has proven popular with some of our international students.

In the semi-catered option you can take care your own breakfast and lunch, then have dinner in the Dining Hall each evening. The semi-catered option is a great way to save some money and still stay in touch with other students.

Applying for the Halls of Residence This can be done on-line and must be completed by 1 October the year prior to your studies. For more information see www.lincoln.ac.nz/accommodation If you are an international student, the application deadline is 10 December of the year prior to study. Please apply early, as places are limited and preference will be given to those who apply first.

Late applications will be considered, but only if there are rooms still available.

International students may be interested in homestay accommodation. Applications are available from www.studentcare.co.nz

Food glorious food If you are living in a catered Hall of Residence you receive buffet-style meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. There is plenty of choice at every meal, and the weekend brunches are legendary! Specific dietary needs can be catered for if required.

If you feel like something more café style, you can always drop into Mrs O’s cafe for a latte or a panini, or something more substantial.

Social activities at Lincoln University and in Christchurch

Budgeting

No matter whether you love to snowboard, salsa dance, listen to the symphony, cheer for the Crusaders rugby team or the local Lincoln University rugby team, or hang out at the end of term garden parties, Lincoln University, the city of Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region can offer it all!

Other costs

There is no shortage of entertainment on campus or off, with the Lincoln University Students’ Association (LUSA) constantly organising events and co-ordinating clubs and sporting groups.

Of course, Canterbury as a region is also well represented on the sporting front, with games ranging from Super Rugby to international tests.

If the arts are an interest, the city has a number of art galleries, the museum, movie theatres, live theatre and concerts, as well as many fascinating shops to explore.

And of course, the city is perfectly located between the ocean and the mountains, meaning you can be at the beach in the morning and the local ski-fields in the afternoon.

It is realistic to budget NZ$13,000 for living costs annually.

This does not include the cost of travel to and from your home country.

Textbooks

This will vary depending on the course – allow up to NZ$1,000 for course-related costs

Overseas documents maybe verified by a Notary Public.

Please ensure that the person who verifies your document(s) prints their full name, address and uses their official stamp if they have one. Solicitors, Registrars or Justice of the Peace usually have official stamps.

• Entrance qualifications (if completed) • Academic Record from any other university you may have attended (If you wish to transfer credit from another university to Lincoln University you should discuss this with admission staff as soon as you can. These applications can take additional time and may require you to provide copies of your course outlines) • If English is not your first language, we will require evidence that you have sufficient ability in the English language to study successfully.

International student requirements and fees

In addition to meeting admission standards and relevant English language standards, international students must: • Obtain an approved insurance policy • Hold a student visa • Study full-time • Meet additional requirements if under 18 years of age while studying at Lincoln University.

Medical and travel insurance International students (including group students) must have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while in New Zealand.

Eligibility for health services Most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand. If students receive medical treatment during their visit, they may be liable for the full costs of that treatment. Full details on entitlements to publicly funded health services are available through the Ministry of Health, and can be viewed on their website at www.moh.govt.nz.

Accident insurance The Accident Compensation Corporation provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents, and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but students may still be liable for all other medical and related costs. Further information can be viewed on the ACC website at www.acc.co.nz.

As a signatory to the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students, Lincoln University supports this requirement and endorses the insurance plan known as Studentsafe-University, managed by the insurance broker MARSH Ltd. This plan meets the very specific requirements established by the Code and is currently endorsed by all the New Zealand universities.

Immigration and student visas

Studentsafe-University provides free health care from the doctor, nurses, or the counselling staff at Student Health and Support on-campus for matters coming under the scope of the insurance. Students do not have to fill in applications forms as the premium will simply be added to tuition fees when registering for study. Students are automatically insured for up to 31 days prior to the start of the course (including insurance for travel from the home country).

• Have an Offer of Place

Current prices are listed on the university’s website for both six and 12 month cover. Students on part year programmes can purchase monthly cover.

Other insurance policies Students who purchase alternative policies must ensure they are fully compliant and that the policy expiry date is valid until their return home OR for the period of their student visa. MARSH Ltd provides an assessment service advising Lincoln University of policies that meet the required standards. The university strongly advises that students do not take out insurance from their home country as policies generally do not meet the specific requirements for New Zealand compliance. Students cannot be permitted to register for study at Lincoln University with non-compliant insurance.

International students must have a valid and current student visa in order to study at Lincoln University. To obtain this, students must: • Have arranged the payment of tuition fees • Have sufficient funds available to maintain themselves throughout the period of their stay • Meet accommodation requirements (if under the age of 18).

There are additional requirements. Full details of immigration requirements, advice on rights to employment in New Zealand while studying, and reporting requirements are available from Immigration New Zealand, and can be viewed on their website at www.immigration.govt.nz.

Students can also download Visa applications forms and find out where the Immigration offices are around the world from this website.

Remember, acceptance by Lincoln University does not guarantee issue of a Student Visa by Immigration authorities.

If students are in New Zealand when deciding to study at Lincoln University they can apply for their visa using Immigration’s eBranch in the Student Administration office on the Lincoln University campus. Students should allow at least two weeks for the application to be processed and the visa to arrive so they need to be organised well before the start of the semester.

Please check the website for more information on compliant and non-compliant policies.

International students generally study full-time to meet the conditions of their visa and if students withdraw from study the university will notify Immigration New Zealand of your decision.

Page 62

www.lincoln.ac.nz

Field trips/tours Field trips and tours are a compulsory part of many courses at Lincoln University. These may be visits to businesses, farms, factories or other places where students can see applications of the work they are studying. Trips may be held during class time or on specified field trip days notified in the semester lecture timetable. Tours are of longer duration and many are held during holidays.

Students taking the Bachelor of Landscape Architecture, Bachelor of Viticulture and Oenology and Graduate Diploma in Viticulture and Oenology are required to complete programme based field tours.

Refund policy

Students who are currently registered and entitled to a refund that is due solely to an overpayment, which is to be refunded by cheque or to a New Zealand bank account, will not be charged a refund fee.

All refunds being deposited into an overseas bank account will be charged an additional administration fee of $50.00, including GST. The Lincoln University Course Information Guide or website www.lincoln.ac.nz provides further details.

Tuition fees International fees are usually confirmed in July for the following year. All tuition fees are updated on our website www.lincoln.ac.nz/fees

The policy for the refund of tuition fees for international students is available on our website. Currently, a refund fee of NZ$200.00, including GST, will be charged to all international students who request a tuition fee refund as a result of a semester cancellation or withdrawal or transfer to another educational institution, no later than 14 days after the first day of a full semester or five days after the start of a Summer School Semester. This refund fee will also be charged to students who request a refund, but have not enrolled or registered.

Glossary ad eundem statum

GST (Goods and Services Tax)

Qualified applicants will be granted admission ad eundem statum; that is, a qualification is recognised as being equivalent to the New Zealand university standard admission.

This is a tax on most goods and services in New Zealand, most imported goods, and certain imported services.

The current rate is 15% (as of 1 October 2010).

A PhD is an advanced academic degree that has become the most common term in the English speaking world for a research doctorate.

Credits Credits measure the ‘size’ of a course.

Postgraduate

Diploma

A university student studying for a degree, diploma or certificate that requires a previous degree for admission.

A diploma is a sub-degree qualification. An undergraduate diploma requires one or two years of full-time study. A postgraduate/graduate diploma normally requires a degree for admission and requires one year’s full-time study.

Practical Work Some course regulations require a specified period of related practical work to be completed before the student can graduate or be awarded their certificate or diploma.

Elective A course students choose themselves. While not a compulsory course for the degree it will count towards the total number required.

Registration Registration is the process of completion and confirmation of enrolment. This is done online using LUCAS, the campus administration system.

Faculty A Faculty is a group of staff members who conduct or assist in teaching and research in a particular field.

Semester The academic year is divided into two halves called semesters.

Field Trip/Field Tour These may be visits to a business, farm, a factory or some other place where students see applications of the work they are studying. A trip is one day or less, while a tour lasts several days.

Transcript A transcript of a student’s academic record is a copy of the record of the student’s enrolment and grades.
