General FAQ

The University Advisory Group has been established to provide the government with advice on New Zealand’s university system. Group members will consider challenges and opportunities for improvement in the university sector.

The University Advisory Group will provide an initial report to the government in August 2024 and a final report in February 2025. Advice from the Group will inform policy changes, ensuring a robust and forward-thinking university system for New Zealand.
