Since 1895 Auckland University of Technology (AUT) has been a place of learning for both domestic and international students. AUT is one of the world's best modern universities, led by an outstanding team of professional and academic staff. Times Higher Education has ranked AUT as the top millennial university in Australasia and it is in the top 1% of universities in the world. AUT enrols about 30 000 students annually (20% of which are international students from Europe, Asia and Pasifika). According to statistics, AUT's graduates are able to find a full-time job within 9 months of graduating.
Today it is the second-largest university in the country with five faculties across three campuses in Auckland. AUT's shuttle buses link these campuses, providing an easy way to get between classes and facilities.
The North Campus is situated on Auckland's North Shore and offers students accommodation, cafes and a sports centre. There are also food outlets and a university bookshop.
The City Campus is in the heart of Auckland, a 15-minute walk from Britomart train station and the ferry terminal. This is the biggest campus and home to most academic units. Facilities of the campus include an early childhood centre, printing centre, gym, support service centre for students, library and others.
The South Campus is located in Manukau, or South district of Auckland. The campus has its own library, student lounges, information centres, computer labs and café. It is also proud of its astroturf courts with tennis, basketball, volleyball and soccer equipment.
Lots of public buses stop near the campuses. For those who have cars or bikes, there are parking areas and cycle racks, showers and lockers on campus for students to use.

Qualifications are offered in applied science, art and design, business, computer science and IT, education, health, sport and recreation, hospitality and tourism, law and social sciences. AUT has more than 60 research centres thus providing excellent opportunities for its postgraduate students.
