Auckland University of Technology

AUT is the fastest growing and second largest university in New Zealand. We have been a university since 2000, but a place of learning for 120 years and operate in accordance with the Education Act (1989).

AUT is a contemporary New Zealand university, led by a strategic team and governed by a council. The Vice-Chancellor is the head of the University and is supported by the Strategic Leadership Team. The AUT Council is the governing body of the University and is made up of lay members, academic and professional staff, at least one student, and members appointed by the government.

Welcome to Auckland University of Technology – New Zealand’s second largest and fastest growing university. 29,000 students are enrolled at AUT across our three teaching campuses located in Auckland – New Zealand’s fastest growing city.

AUT has consistently led undergraduate and postgraduate enrolment growth of both New Zealand and international students across the wide range of professional disciplines we teach. We are ranked in the top 2% of universities in the world, ranked 15th in the world for international outlook, and are world-ranked in 13 subject areas.

AUT students are provided with a unique learning experience through engagement with industry, business and international partners, the ongoing development of modern teaching and learning facilities, and a focus on research that addresses issues facing the environment and society. Students are encouraged to participate, develop their own opinions, gain knowledge and learn how to apply it in real situations. We produce great graduates who enter the workforce able to challenge routine thinking and provide innovative solutions to industry.

AUT International House is one of New Zealand's leading English language teaching organisations. It is part of the Auckland University of Technology, which was originally founded as a Technical School in 1895 and became a university in January 2000. It offers certificates, diplomas, degrees and post-graduate programmes and has over 25,000 students enrolling each year in the Faculties of Arts, Business, Health Studies, Mãori Development, and Science and Engineering.

AUT International House is the only New Zealand member of the International House World Organisation. International House was established with the aim of improving the standard of English language teaching worldwide. Over 120 affiliated schools and teacher training branches in 50 countries make up the IH World Organisation. Over 60,000 students follow language courses in IH schools each year.

AUT International House is located in the heart of Auckland and next to the main Auckland University of Technology campus. The school building is modern, light, spacious, and has all the latest technological equipment. It also has views over the city, and Albert Park nearby. There are nine classrooms, two Independent Learning Centre rooms and one computer laboratory where Internet facilities are available.

Students enrolled at AUT International House receive an Auckland University of Technology student identity card. This card entitles you to use the University's libraries, the learning centre and sports facilities and gives you discounts in a number of shops, cinemas and theatres.

AUT believes education is an individual pursuit, not an institutional product. While we offer qualifications, we see them as a formality to far greater personal outcomes.

It’s the deeply human characteristics of curiosity, creativity, connection and collaboration that are the new global currency, and are at the core of our teaching philosophy. It’s these skills, and ways of thinking, that ensure our students thrive in a world of rapid technological change.
