Program Overview

Study abroad at New Zealand’s largest university, located in the country's largest, most multicultural city!

Auckland, a bustling commercial hub, is located on a beautiful harbor and features a temperate climate. Its population is so diverse that it is often ranked among the world's 10 most multicultural cities. Fun fact: more Pacific Islanders live here than in any other place in the Pacific.

The University of Auckland is big and prides itself on academic excellence. With more than 40,000 students, it is more than double the size of any other university in New Zealand, and with that comes a wonderful selection of course offerings in everything from business, where faculty enjoy using case study and group projects in many of their courses, to engineering, health sciences, fine arts, and from marine science to Māori and Pasifika Studies.

The University has been recognized internationally for its strengths in sustainability, innovation, and entrepreneurship. Ranked first in the world in the Times Higher Education University Impact Rankings in both 2019 and 2020.
