The dedication of the faculty here is truly inspiring; my child's academic growth reflects their commitment to excellence in education.

The worst Institute ever. I have wested my time there and lost my scholarship because of it’s bad management and greed . If you are international do not study at Unitec. They will deal with you as an income for them not as a student who needs to learn. They only care about how they can make money out of you no matter how they have failed me in many papers unfairly. They gave random marks. They should not be Institution or even a kind of Educational place. I regret every moment I spent at this Place.

Unitec is a great university, I was student there for 3 years. The campus is really nice, but walking uphill in the winter can be somewhat tricky and dangerous. The distance between buildings makes getting to class on time a real challenge. The historical buildings are very nice from the outside, but could use some serious renovations on the inside. The campus has been transformed into a big construction site in the last two years, making tuition there less enjoyable. The librairies get very crowded and hot during exam season and renders study rooms unavailable. The quality of education is excellent and increases as the classes shrink in size because the learning experience is enhanced. Many classes are recorded which makes attendance completely optional for those who can't make it to class. Alumni benefit from many things upon graduation, such as the Unitec reputation and a wide network of former students to connect with.

I've been experience with lots of irresponsible lecturers in Unitec. Not uploading slides after lecture, not responding emails, tell students to go home when the students wanted to ask(He's in the office), giving random marks to students that worked together in the same group(some failed). Great lecturers are only existed in Foundation programs. Not recommend.

I have been here at Unitec for exchange for one semester and I could not have been happier. Great people, unique education and inspiring lecturers. All facilities are modern and staff really takes care of their students! In total it has been a hollistic experience and I would do it again. Thanks Unitec..
