In Christchurch the main campus is situated in Ilam (off Dovedale Avenue). It provides a full range of services and amenities for all students. UC Education Plus (previously called Teacher Support Services) is located at 155 Montreal Street Campus, near Moorhouse Ave.

Elsewhere in the South Island we have a campus in Timaru servicing South Canterbury and a campus in Nelson with two sites. One site is for School & Teacher Support Services and one for pre-service (Schools of Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary Teacher Education). In Greymouth we offer local support for our Early Childhood degree programme and Primary distance programme and have a School & Teacher Support Service campus.

In the North Island we have a campus in Tauranga (Early Childhood) and work together with local institutions in other areas to provide our programmes and offer support to distance students. In Rotorua we work with the Waiariki Institute of Technology to provide Primary and Secondary Teacher Education, and in New Plymouth with the Western Institute of Technology to provide Early Childhood Teacher Education.

You can also study some courses by distance from anywhere in New Zealand.
