Detailed information

English with Rugby Programme Through the English with Rugby programme, students will study English with our highly qualified and experienced English teachers and then also spend some time with skilled coaches to learn the basics of Rugby to enhance their study experience.

The programme caters for all levels of English from beginner to advanced levels and our expert consultants will be able to design a flexible package to suit your specific needs. In the mornings, students will attend English classes to improve their listening, reading, writing and speaking abilities. In addition, practical English classes provide students with a great opportunity to practice what they are learning.

This leaves the afternoons and weekends free for students to experience the game of Rugby with training from experienced Rugby coaches.

New Zealand is well known as a strong Rugby nation and the sport forms a big part of the nation's culture. WIE is located in Hamilton, the hometown of the Waikato Chiefs Rugby team, International Super 15 Rugby Champions of 2012.

The central location of our Campus means students are just minutes away from several prime Rugby training facilities, gyms and the Waikato Rugby stadium with a crowd capacity of 25,800 people, where many international Rugby matches are played.
