Auckland University of Technology

Why Auckland?

Auckland is commonly mistaken for New Zealand’s capital city*, as it is the nation’s biggest and most populous city. With a large multicultural population (and the largest Polynesian population in the southern hemisphere), it is also a very cosmopolitan city.  Accordingly, the city has a wide selection of things to see, do and eat.

The City of Sails (as Auckland is sometimes called, due to the fact that the city boasts two harbours) ranked 4th in a 2009 survey judging the quality of life in 215 major cities around the world, due to its mild climate and fantastic employment and education opportunities.

Parts of Auckland lie on extinct volcanoes, making the city a geographically beautiful one, and a haven for thrills seekers. The city is also well loved by sports fans, as it offers a huge range of sporting team and facilities.
*In case you were wondering, Wellington is New Zealand’s capital city.

Why Auckland University of Technology?

The Auckland University of Technology is New Zealand’s newest university, but has existed as Auckland Technical School since 1895.  This results in a century old tradition of academic teaching, combined with new, state of the art resources and buildings.

Spread across three campuses, AUT offers comprehensive libraries and research offices, a dozen restaurants, bars and cafes and accommodation for over 700 students.

They also have a campus newspaper, magazine and radio.

AUT is also one of the few New Zealand universities that offers pre-degree studies for students who are not prepared or don’t have the qualifications for degree level study.
