It had a federal structure embracing several constituent institutions at various locations around New Zealand. After it was dissolved in 1961 New Zealand had four independent degree-granting universities and two associated agricultural colleges: the University of Otago (Dunedin), University of Canterbury (Christchurch), University of Auckland (Auckland), Victoria University of Wellington (Wellington), Canterbury Agricultural College (Lincoln) and Massey Agricultural College (Palmerston North).[1] HistoryThe University of New Zealand Act set up the University in 1870.[1] At that time, the system's headquarters was in Christchurch, Canterbury Province.[2] The University of Otago negotiated to keep its title of "university" when it joined the University of New Zealand in 1874, but it agreed to award degrees of the University of New Zealand.[1] 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 former constituent colleges.[1] The New Zealand Vice-Chancellors' Committee assumed certain administrative functions exercised by the University Grants Committee[3] which in turn assumed some functions of the University of New Zealand on its demise.[1] Entrance to the UniversityThe University set its own entrance examination and awarded scholarships to provide financial assistance for students.[4][5] 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.[1] The Universities Entrance Board was in turn merged into the New Zealand Qualifications Authority in 1990.[6] Other use of the nameTe Wānanga o Aotearoa, founded in 1984, used "The University of New Zealand" as an English translation of its name, although it had no connection with the former University. After objections from bodies such as the New Zealand Vice-Chancellors' Committee (the heads of the universities) and the Ministry of Education over illegal use of a protected word (in this case, "university") and thus possibly misleading advertising,[7] the effective co-branding of the wānanga was phased out. The institution is now formally registered as a wānanga, one of five types of Crown-owned tertiary institutions under New Zealand law, the others being universities, colleges of education, specialist colleges and polytechnics.[8]Alumni{{main cat|University of New Zealand alumni}}See also
