Kia Ora, a semester abroad.

Well, when going to New Zealand I actually couldn't get further away, I'm from the Denmark, a little country in the north of europe - the capital of Scandinavia.
AUT made me feel very welcome and this place has begun a second home for me. AUT and its staff does a great deal to make you feel welcome and part of something bigger with great socialization possibilities and adventuring events.

I took 4 courses here, one of them was International Noho Marae, which I would highly recommned to thoes who are much social and cultural interested. You will get an ekstra family through that course, that shouts from the cornfields of Denmark all the way to the great mountain of New Zealand, shouting recognition for your ancestors and your family, caring the Maori spirit of well-being to all whanau, for life. Family4life.

Whanau4Life.

What would you improve about this program?
Not really something but still. Don't through the student farewell party at an expensive place - we don't care about the location we want to be together and drink cheap bear.

It was a tremendously cool place though.

What would you improve about this program?
As mentioned before the housing crises is a huge issue but also the international fees are insane.
I would love to come back immediately to do a master's degree because the education at Art and Design faculty is great but I need to look for scholarships before as I can't afford to pay all by myself.

Highly Recommended

Going on exchange is something I would recommend to everyone, no matter what. Moving to New Zealand, living on the other side of the world and studying at AUT is one of the best choices I have ever made! This country has everything. Deep fjords, high mountains, geothermal areas and beautiful beaches, not to mention all the nice and caring people living there.

AUT is an amazing school; they know how to welcome international students and how to adapt the lectures for non-English speaking students. It was also arranged different types of events for international students to meet up and get to know each other.

Many students may look at New Zealand as too far away, but the experience you get is so unique and definitely worth it! I fell in love with this place, and even though I live on the other side of the world – I will be back!

What would you improve about this program?
Not all the teachers at AUT was reachable through email.

I'd do it all again

Deciding to do an exchange semester at Auckland University of Technology, AUT, in New Zealand, is one of the best decisions I've ever made. The country is absolutely breathtaking and the people are the kindest and most laid back people I've met.

One of my favourite parts about studying at AUT is the student accommodation. I lived at Akoranga Student Village, ASV, for five months and never wanted to leave again. The friendships I've made there are priceless, and the atmosphere is the best. The place is alive and social but respects the need for studying as well.

So if you are to ever go studying at AUT, I would recommend staying at ASV in a heartbeat.

My Study Abroad Experience at AUT

No matter where you go, going on exchange will change your life. You meet people from all around the world and learn so much more about yourself than you would ever imagine. I'm so glad I decided to come to AUT for my exchange. The exchange program advisors were super friendly and very helpful with regards to everything from application logistics, to your classes, to making you feel welcome in a new city.

AUT itself is a very great educational institution in the heart of downtown Auckland. With modern architecture, approachable teachers and a plethora of study spaces on campus, I'd highly recommend AUT.

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time hear in New Zealand, the country is beautiful and the people are fantastic. Its makes me sad to know I will be leaving this place is a couple weeks but I definitely know I will be back!

Questions & Answers

Hi there, our February to June semester is during the end of summer to end of Fall. This is the best time to experience New Zealand's warm weather and beaches. Our July to November semester is from the start of Winter until the end of Spring, so starts a little colder and warms up nicely. Auckland experiences very mild weather so never gets too cold or too hot.
