Ara Institute of Canterbury Ltd is a vibrant, progressive, government-funded institute providing world-class, tertiary-level education.
Our objective is to empower students to build better worlds. We want every Ara student to be equipped for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, and we achieve this by providing relevant courses, taught by inspirational mentors in real-life learning environments.
Our talented staff, innovative industry partners and supportive community play a significant role in contributing to this outcome. Collectively, we're committed to ensuring that every student has the industry-relevant knowledge, skills and experience they need to get the job they want and to excel in it.
Our learning models and course content continually evolve to respond to industry and regional needs. To ensure our students have real-world experience and graduate work-ready, we offer an ever-expanding array of workplace training opportunities, internships, apprenticeships and partnerships with industry. And to meet the demand for flexible study options, we offer an increasing range of online, blended delivery and part-time programmes.
These measures, combined with a low student-to-tutor ratio and comprehensive support services, ensure our students thrive in an inclusive, nurturing, flexible and technology-enhanced study environment where meaningful learning experiences are the norm.
And it means that when they head out into the world, our graduates are equipped with internationally-relevant qualifications, valuable industry connections and skills that will enable them to contribute to a fast-changing world.
Ara Institute of Canterbury - City Campus, Christchurch
Our largest campus is located in central Christchurch, the biggest city in the South Island.
At the City campus, you’ll find a wide range of services and facilities to enhance your student experience. These include:
The campus also has a theatre where performances are staged, spaces where exhibitions of student art are held, and attractive outdoor areas where you can meet and relax with friends between classes.
Close by there are bars, cafes, restaurants, supermarkets, public transport, the main bus interchange, shops and entertainment. The City campus is also just a short walk from Hagley Park, the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, the Christchurch Art Gallery, T?ranga (the city’s new public library) and exciting new precincts like Riverside and Little High.
When moving to a new city to study, one of the most important decisions you need to make is where to live.
Ara has campuses in Christchurch, Ashburton, Timaru, and Oamaru and each of these regions offers a range of accommodation options. You may decide to go flatting or opt for a private board, or you might choose to live in a homestay.
In Christchurch, Ara’s Atautahi House (right across the road from the City campus) offers apartment-style accommodation with other students in a flatshare. Preference will be given to students enrolling in full-time study, and those relocating to Christchurch for study from other regions.
International student accommodation
We encourage you to stay with a homestay family when you first arrive in New Zealand to study. A homestay provides a warm, family environment where you'll have your own room, share meals with the family and have the opportunity to practice your English every day. All of our homestays are carefully selected and supervised.
Our homestay services include:
We can arrange for you to stay with a homestay in any of our study locations. Alternatively, you can stay in hostels, flats, or other accommodation options.
The campus offers a variety of facilities, including a theatre for performances, exhibition spaces for student art, and inviting outdoor areas for socializing during breaks. There are various options for food, drink, shopping, entertainment, and convenient access to public transportation. Additionally, the City campus is within walking distance of popular attractions such as Hagley Park, the Christchurch Botanic Gardens, and the Christchurch Art Gallery, as well as newly developed areas like Riverside and Little High.

New Zealand Diploma in Cybersecurity
