History
The University of New Zealand Act set up the University in 1870.[1]The University of Otago negotiated to keep its title of "university" when it joined the University of New Zealand in 1874, however, it agreed to award degrees of the University of New Zealand.<ref name="mcl66" /> The colleges in Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington were known as "university colleges" rather than "universities" throughout most of the history of the University of New Zealand.
The Universities Act of 1961 dissolved the university and granted degree-conferring powers to the constituent Colleges.<ref name="mcl66" /> The New Zealand Vice-Chancellor's Committee assumed certain administrative functions exercised by the University Grants Committee[2] which in turn assumed some functions of the University of New Zealand on its demise.<ref name="mcl66" />
Entrance to the University
The University used to set its own entrance examination and also used to award scholarships to financially assist study.[3][4] When the university was dissolved matters concerning entrance to New Zealand universities became the responsibility of the Universities Entrance Board, a subcommittee of the University Grants Committee.<ref name="mcl66" /> The Universities Entrance Board was in turn amalgamated into the New Zealand Qualifications Authority in 1990.[5]Other use of the name
Te Wānanga o Aotearoa, founded in 1984 with a name that literally translates as The University of New Zealand, used this English translation in its branding although it had no connection with the former University. After legal concerns and objections from regulatory bodies (including the New Zealand Vice-Chancellors' Committee—a group of university heads, and the Ministry of Education) over illegal use of a protected word (in this case, university) and thus possible misleading advertising,[6] the effective co-branding of the wānanga was phased out. The institution is formally registered as a wānanga, one of four types of Crown-owned tertiary institutions under New Zealand law—the others being universities, colleges of education and polytechnics.References
