“AUT helped me to understand the environment I'd be entering before I got there. The content I was taught at AUT is used daily in my job and helps me to remain confident that I understand exactly what I am asked to achieve.”

“I chose AUT because it offered the best research opportunities and the chance to work alongside some of the world leading experts in high tech industries. AUT’s state-of-the-art research infrastructure and its vibrant student community were also very appealing. AUT has strong ties with universities across the globe and this was very beneficial for the work I wanted to undertake. The university is located in the heart of Auckland - the financial capital of NZ - which makes it very easy to settle in. Auckland’s cosmopolitan population makes the move into NZ an easy transition. AUT also provides an inclusive and well-rounded study culture. This is something unique to New Zealand; I wasn’t very ‘outdoor’”.
