An amazing experience I’ll never forget!

I had an amazing time in Auckland! We did a lot of cool trips as a group and it was great to have such a fun group of students to experience this with! My accommodations were only 3 minutes away from my building and I had amazing roommates from around the world! Overall, I got to meet a lot of locals and travel around the country. If I ever needed help figuring out travel plans, my advisor was always available to offer some advice! I even had my wisdom teeth removed which was completely covered under the travel insurance! The trip was amazing and I hope to go back to New Zealand soon.

A Guide to Studying Abroad in Auckland

Studying Abroad in Auckland

Auckland is the largest center of learning in the country, so you will be able to find courses to suit every interest, across a range of institutions. The University of Auckland study abroad programs are impressive, as the university is the largest in the country; however, there is also the nation’s largest business college at Massey University, and several other world-ranked education providers.

The human population of New Zealand is wildly outnumbered by cows and sheep, making Auckland a great place to study agriculture and agribusiness. Along with large scale farming comes a lot of environmental issues though, and as a country that prides itself on a “clean, green” image, there is a lot of study taking place in the areas of conservation and preservation in Auckland.

Another popular course of study at an Auckland, New Zealand university is filmmaking. New Zealand gave the world the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and they are steadily building a reputation for offbeat comedy films, and dramas telling Maori and Pasifika stories that are unique to New Zealand. International business and travel and tourism are also contextually significant, and are great subjects to study in Auckland.

The school year in a “univ of Auckland” (so-dubbed by the Kiwis!) differs substantially from terms in the Northern Hemisphere. Because seasons are reversed, the first semester starts in February or March and ends in June. The second semester starts in July and runs through to early November. Summer programs are available, from December through to February, but bear in mind that this is also the Christmas and New Year period.
