AUT University

AUT is a new kind of University, leading the way with its contemporary style of practice-based scholarship. The University has reinterpreted the character of the older universities, but retains at its core a close relationship between research and teaching. Around this we build our distinctive approach to teaching and learning – our focus on the application of knowledge. This makes AUT graduates highly responsive to the needs of the modern, fast-changing and multi-skilled work place. The University is the national leader in a wide range of programs and provides an outstanding environment of teaching and learning for its students. Our mission of fostering excellence, equity, and ethics in learning, teaching, research, and scholarship to serve its national and international communities reflects the outward looking vision of an exciting and modern university.
