AUT is New Zealand's fourth-largest university, with a unique profile reflecting its history and contemporary approaches to teaching, learning and research. We pride ourselves on being a university that makes a difference to our students and to the communities that we serve.

The University offers a student centred and enriching learning experience. It offers a wide range of postgraduate and undergraduate degrees, diplomas and certificates via its faculties of Business, Design & Creative Technologies, Applied Humanities, Health & Environmental Sciences, Te Ara Poutama. AUT's applied research and practice-informed teaching, combined with its engagement with business, industry and the community, result in employment-ready graduates; 92 percent of our 2002 graduates were employed within six months of leaving the University.

As a student or staff member at AUT, or as one of our many school partners, community groups or business partners, you'll be an essential part of our future journey.
