As a high-performing New Zealand government-funded Institute of Technology, UCOL has provided over 130 years of excellence in education. Our diverse portfolio of programmes, ranging from postgraduate qualifications to diplomas, degrees, and certificates, covers a wide range of research areas that have the potential to impact our communities positively and beyond.
Whether in applied research, where we focus on research around our degrees, or in the transfer of our technical knowledge across our portfolio, we are committed to engaging with our stakeholders and sharing these outcomes with our communities.
NZ ORCID Consortium
UCOL has joined as a founding member of the
New Zealand ORCID Consortium, a national approach to the Open Researcher and Contributor ID or ORCID platform. ORCID is a global not-for-profit organisation created in 2012 to solve the problem of name ambiguity in research by creating a registry with a unique identifier for each researcher, like a national health number, but for researchers. The recent launch of the New Zealand ORCID Consortium will help close the loop on New Zealand’s research system, allowing for up-to-date records of researcher contributions and evaluation of the research system.
Directory of Expertise
As our new website evolves, we will provide a Directory of Expertise so that you can easily access up-to-date information on key research areas UCOL is focusing on and find out what possibilities for collaboration exist. All UCOL staff teaching degree programmes undertake research and play a significant role in showcasing our research strengths.
