Victoria University was rated first in New Zealand in the recent national research rankings (PBRF) and the English Programme was ranked first amongst English programmes in New Zealand. The 2013 QS World UniversityRankings rank Victoria as one of the top 50 universities in the world in four subjects, one of which is English Language and Literature.
