Lincoln University (Māori: Te Whare Wanaka o Aoraki) is a New Zealand university that was formed in 1990 when Lincoln College, Canterbury was made independent of the University of Canterbury. Its undergraduate study areas include agriculture, commerce, computing, engineering, environment, food, forestry, horticulture, hospitality, landscape, Māori planning, property, recreation, sciences, transport and winemaking. Lincoln University has a student population from more than 60 countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Lincoln University International Student Information )〕 Its primary campus is situated on 50 hectares (123 acres) of land located about outside the city of Christchurch in Lincoln, Canterbury. ==History== Lincoln University began life in 1878 as a School of Agriculture. From 1896 to 1961 it served students under the name "Canterbury Agricultural College", and offered qualifications of the University of New Zealand until that institution's demise. From 1961 to 1990, it was known as Lincoln College, a constituent college of the University of Canterbury, until achieving autonomy in 1990 as Lincoln University.〔(【引用サイトリンク】Lincoln University profile )〕 It is the oldest agricultural teaching institution in the Southern Hemisphere. It remains the smallest university in New Zealand and one of the 8 government universities. In March 2009 AgResearch announced that it planned to merge with Lincoln University, an idea that was later scaled back to "sharing of knowledge". On 18 November 2010, after a period of consultation, it was confirmed that a merger between Lincoln University and Telford Rural Polytechnic would go ahead, with the merger taking effect on 1 January 2011. On 18 June 2013, a new blue-print for the Selwyn campus was announced which included the "Lincoln Hub" concept previously announced by the Government on 29 April 2013. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lincoln University (New Zealand)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
