Postgraduate Research

It is our goal to optimize our distinctive research contribution to the region and to underpin our very high level of Degree and Postgraduate teaching.  A key means of supporting our contribution to the region is by ensuring our research and development programme is directed towards technology transfer – taking our existing expertise/IP and making it available to employers and the community.

Research, development and technology transfer are not new to Wintec.  A good example of a successful research project leading to funding and the transfer of intellectual property within the community is the Centre for Creative Industries (CCI) and the collaboration with Hamilton City Council to develop the country’s first business incubator for the creative industries, SODA Inc.

Research is a strategic priority for Wintec.  Firstly the Tertiary Education Strategy outlines technology transfer as an emerging role for the ITP sector, and secondly our ongoing growth in higher level qualifications requires that research plays a bigger role in teaching and learning activities.
