Program Reviews

AUT has a great location, well designed facilities, and nice staff. My hospitality classes have been pretty small and I feel like I am able to get to know people that are in my classes. People are very nice and always trying to learn more about you.

I think that it would have been nice to live on campus to see what life here is really like. The city campus and classes here remind me of studying back at home.

This exchange in New Zealand is doubtlessly one of the best experiences of my life! You're able to get in touch with many internationals students here, all willing like you to discover one of the most beautiful places on Earth! Studying in AUT has also been really nice, thanks to the commitment of its staff and academic teams who are always willing to help you. Auckland is an awesome place to be and I would definitely advise everyone to pass by!

AUT is a beautiful school centrally located in a beautiful city. Auckland is a great base for your time in New Zealand because it is so easy to access transportation out of the city form here. Definitely loved my semesters here in NZ

Studying in New Zealand has been an amazing experience. It has made me be more independent and accountable for myself, while also giving me the amazing opportunity to travel around this beautiful country with friends from around the world.

When I think about how my study abroad semester is at AUT it's just awesome! Firstly, the university is pretty good and the professors are super nice and are really willing to interact with the students. Besides this, the faculty is pretty modern. The variety in papers and degrees is huge and that they have different campus all around Auckland is nice because you see a lot of the town.
New Zealand is beautiful and I have never seen a more beautiful landscape before in my life. You have so many opportunities to travel and just experience the Maori culture.

I could recommend to all people, go to AKL and study at AUT. Study, travel and just enjoy your time here!

Best decision ever :-).

You'll get in touch with people from all over the world, which is great. I really enjoyed that!
Although Auckland itself gets boring after a couple of weeks, it is surrounded by some awesome landscapes. Rent a car and discover the country!

My time in New Zealand has been amazing. If you want to see the most beautiful landscape of the world, then you have to go to New Zealand.
From Auckland are Weekend trips like Rotorua, Hobbiton, Tongariro Crossing, Bay of Island or beautiful beaches easy to reach.
Moreover, you're with the plane within one hour on the south island.
Auckland itself, where you reach Bars, Restaurants, Clubs, Harbour etc. by foot.

The AUT City Campus is modern and restaurants as kebap or asian food are placed on campus.The courses are not demanding, but you have to spend a lot of time in assignments and Presentations.

All in all i would recommend studying at AUT, such as travel around the North- and South Island.

I promise you, you'll have one of the best experiences of your life.

The location as well as the building is great. The campus is easy to find and close to CBD Auckland, as well as Queen street. In general, the university is great and got some good papers. However, there are a few things that could be improved. There are quite a lot lecturer from abroad (especially Asia and India) and some of them you are not able to understand, which I think isn't acceptable. Furthermore, the level in general is pretty low and you almost have more holidays than school.
All in all I had a great year at uni and I really enjoyed my free time.

I don't think there is anything negative to say about this place! Everyone here is super helpful and friendly and it is so easy to meet and make new friends! I love how AUT is in the city making it so much easier to explore and you never run out of things to do! Which makes it the perfect location! I never traveled around much back home, but after being here and seeing how easy it is to get around in Auckland and the surrounding cities, I never want to stop! AUT is very easy to navigate and the professors are super helpful and are always available to talk with you when you need help. As an international business student, I would say that my experience here has really gave me an idea of what to expect when I travel the world and experience other cultures. I just hope they're as welcoming as the people I've met at AUT!

My time in New Zealand has been incredible! Across both islands there are incredible places to visit - Abel Tasman National Park, Queenstown, Milford Sound and Bay of Islands being a few. Due to the number of things to see and activities to do; saving up a lot of money is strongly advised!

Auckland itself is a nice city with everything that you need - bars, restaurants, cinema etc. However, the cost of living in Auckland is unbelievable! It is extremely expensive for food (even when purchasing the value branded products) and for alcohol ($13 for a jager bomb in one of the main student bars!!!!)

Although it is expensive, Auckland is a perfect place to base yourself in order to travel the north island as you can visit almost all of the key locations via bus.

AUT is a great university with a really nice campus located in the city centre. The staff are friendly as well as helpful and the work is relatively straight forward (business classes).

Overall, I would thoroughly recommend AUT due to the university being a nice place to study and the city being a perfect location to base yourself if you want to travel New Zealand.
