The University of Waikato does not require an initial deposit for most domestic students. However, international students typically need to pay a tuition fee deposit to secure their enrollment. This deposit is usually around NZD $5,000, which is deducted from the total tuition fees.
Some programs or scholarships may have specific deposit requirements, so checking the university’s official website or contacting admissions is advisable. The deposit ensures commitment and covers part of the first-year fees, with the remaining balance paid in installments.
