Institution overview
The University of Auckland is a New Zealand university founded in 1883. Its Māori name, Waipapa Taumata Rau, was gifted by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei in 2020. The institution operates across several Auckland locations, with campus activities reflecting the requirements of different academic and professional fields. Its educational provision includes undergraduate degrees, postgraduate taught programmes and research degrees. Subject coverage encompasses arts, social sciences, business, engineering, science, medicine and health, law, education and the creative arts. Teaching and research are organised through faculties, institutes and other academic units, while the University Calendar sets out formal programme regulations. The City Campus forms a central academic setting, with Grafton providing a medical and health sciences environment and Newmarket supporting research activity. These sites belong to one university but serve different combinations of disciplines. The institution publishes information on equity, sustainability, governance and student services alongside its academic offer. Prospective students can use the study portal and programme regulations to establish the qualification, entry route and teaching arrangements that apply to their chosen course.
