Welcome to Wintec
Wintec (The Waikato Institute of Technology) is a tertiary
education provider and one of New Zealand’s largest ITPs

Wintec started as the Hamilton Technical College in 1924 and became
the Waikato Institute of Technology in 1968. Based in Hamilton and
servicing the greater Waikato region, Wintec delivers technical, vocational,

certificate through to master's level.

Why you should choose Wintec for your son or daughter.
As a parent or guardian, you want the best for your children and so

connects with our local communities. When a student enrols at Wintec,
they immediately become part of our community.
Dedicated International Centre
The support doesn’t stop once a student arrives at Wintec. The
multicultural International Centre team is available 24/7 to help
students with general advice, accommodation, and ensure students
feel supported and cared for. The International Centre also organises
cultural events throughout the year and provides extra care for students
under the age of 18.

rich industry connections. We provide state-of-the art facilities so your
son or daughter has access to modern equipment and technology and
numerous opportunities to train in real work environments.
