The University of Auckland

Hello everyone,

So! My choice of the destination is already made, its New Zealand you remember, right? If I need to pick one university I probably pick The University of Auckland. I found a short video of this university.

This video talk about the life in Auckland and the university in general, this is what I expected, lots of nature and beautiful landscapes, happiness in the air and nice mood. They are blooming and seems happy, they enjoy their adventure. The promotion of the video is really around nature and melting pot with the mix of cultures.

If you are lost in the university of Auckland I found those maps, I’m glad to help you !

The University of Auckland is spread across six campuses, all situated in Auckland Region and Northland Region in the upper North Island of New Zealand.

The University's motto is: "Ingenio et Labore". Freely translated from the Latin, it means "by natural ability and hard work".

The mission of the University of Auckland is to be:

“A research-led, international university, recognised for excellence in teaching, learning, research, creative work, and administration, for the significance of its contributions to the advancement of knowledge and its commitment to serve its local, national and international communities.”

And they have so much Values, i can't write all of them but i'll take one : Creating a diverse, collegial scholarly community in which individuals are valued and respected, academic freedom is exercised with intellectual rigour and high ethical standards; and critical enquiry is encouraged.

From the Annual report, let’s see the university with some numbers:

There is 33,469 students in the University of Auckland, more specifically 25,937 undergraduates and 7,511 postgraduates.
Academic staff : 2,154
Administrative staff : 2,789
Established in 1883
The chancellor is Ian Parton and the Vice-Chancellor is Stuart McCutcheon.

During my research on the website : https://www.auckland.ac.nz/en.html I found some services available for international students like find out about the library system, English language support, the Centre for Academic Development, Student Learning Services, faculty advisers and more. There is a lot of services and nice support.

There are a range of personal support services for all students on campus.

With over 120 clubs and societies, there's a club for every taste, from tramping and canoeing to photography and politics. Clubs help balance your studies and grow your network.

Thank you,
