The Waikato Institute of Technology, also known as Wintec, is an institute of technology based in New Zealand's Waikato region. Wintec offers over 130 degrees, diplomas and certificates. Wintec specialises in applied tertiary training for nurses, social workers, midwives, graphic designers, performing artists, engineers, trades people, early childhood teachers, horticulturists, arborists and sport scientists. Programmes range from Level 1 to Level 9.

Wintec has 13,000 full and part-time students. Over 25% of Wintec students identify as Māori.

History[edit]

The institution was founded in 1924 as Hamilton Technical College. The name was changed to Waikato Technical Institute in 1968 and to The Waikato Polytechnic in 1987. The name changed again in 2001, to The Waikato Institute of Technology.[1] On 1 April 2020, Waikato Institute of Technology was subsumed into New Zealand Institute of Skills & Technology alongside the 15 other Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs).[2]

Locations[edit]

Wintec has three main campuses in Hamilton as well as facilities at Thames and the Otorohanga Trade Training Centre.

The institute uses three additional campuses in the Waikato region.

Wintec offers student accommodation at the City and Rotokauri campuses.[3][4][5][6]

Structure and governance[edit]

Wintec's executive team is made up of 11 executives, including the Chief Executive. The chief executive reports to Wintec's governing body, the Wintec Council.
