Lincoln University’s Telford Campus is one of New Zealand’s largest land-based vocational training providers, located just five minutes from Balclutha in the heart of South Otago.

With access to 921 hectares of farmland, a 20-hectare campus, including halls of residence, workshops, gymnasium, library and laboratory, Telford provides a training environment that is unrivalled anywhere in New Zealand.

Telford’s programmes are designed to give students hands-on training through real-world experience with a specialised blend of theoretical and practical elements to enhance core learning. Class numbers are small, ensuring all students receive the care and attention they need to achieve the requirements of their chosen course of study.

Telford has a longstanding reputation for producing well-rounded highly sought after graduates. Whether Agriculture (sheep, dairy, beef, deer), Equine, Farming (Dairy), Forestry, Apiculture (beekeeping) or as a Rural Veterinary Technician, our graduate employment success rate is high, with many of our students offered full-time positions before they have even finished their studies.

Aside from their studies, students have easy access to some of the very best outdoor adventure areas New Zealand has to offer. Telford is located on the perimeter of the famous Catlins, a remote but magnificent part of the south coast that includes wild surf beaches, native forests and unbelievable landscapes perfect for students interested in hunting and fishing. The student town of Dunedin is only a short drive, and the winter snow of Queenstown and Wanaka is just over three hours away.

Note: The Certificate in Apiculture (Level 3) is delivered in Kaitaia, in the North Island.
