About the University of Auckland

Basic information and contact details for the University of Auckland

institution

We are the University of Auckland | Waipapa Taumata Rau.

Aotearoa New Zealand’s largest and leading university, we celebrate our location in the beautiful harbour city of Tamaki Makaurau | Auckland, our unique position in New Zealand, our place within the Pacific and our desire to stand proud on a global stage.

Our te reo name was gifted by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, the Indigenous peoples of the Auckland area, and symbolises that this is a place where diverse world views are shared and lifelong journeys of inquiry, learning and service begin. Our story is one of reaching new heights, working together to achieve greatness and completely redefining what people can expect from a university.

With a student population of 44,000 from over 120 different countries, we’re evolving and embracing the cultures and character of who we are so that we can genuinely welcome others from across the globe into the unique place that is the University of Auckland.

There’s an impressive range of study options with more than 150 different undergraduate subjects and 130 postgraduate programmes, and boasting the country’s highest concentration of top-ranked researchers means our students are able to learn from the best.

We’re also dedicated to being an equitable, inclusive and world-class place to work and study. This includes extensive support services for all students including academic learning support, counselling, and over 200 clubs and societies to join.
