About the school

Auckland University of Technology (AUT) began in 1895 as a specialist technical institute and became New Zealand’s eighth fully accredited university in 2000. Located in Auckland, AUT operates four modern campuses: the City Campus, North Campus, South Campus in Manukau, and Millennium Campus. Depending on your chosen major and courses, you may attend classes at different AUT campuses, with convenient shuttle services connecting each location.

 

AUT City Campus is home to the Business and Law, and Culture and Society faculties. It also features libraries, bookstores, fitness centres, and dedicated support services for international students. South Campus in Manukau, approximately 30 minutes from central Auckland, offers programs in business, information technology, education, and health. North Campus, around 20 minutes from the city centre, specialises in health and education courses.

 

The Millennium Campus in North Auckland provides advanced sports science facilities, including swimming pools, sports laboratories, and specialised training equipment.
