iSPACE is a lounge dedicated to the needs of international students and the promotion of cultural diversity on campus.

You’ll find comfortable sofas for relaxing and chatting, plus a beautiful sunny outdoor area with umbrellas where you can study or eat lunch.

The iSPACE team run workshops and provide lots of useful information to help you adjust to life at The University of Auckland and in New Zealand. They also host a range of fun activities, such as morning teas and cultural events. During Orientation they organise wine tasting, ethnic food and games evenings.

iSPACE can also help you to plan your free time. With the help of Base Travel, the iSPACE team organise affordable day trips around Auckland - things like bungy jumping, surfing and sailing.

While your academic studies are always important, iSPACE exists to make sure you have a good time when you’re not studying.

As an iSPACE MATE, you will help us to welcome students from around the world during Orientation and at events throughout the University year.

It’s a great way to make friends and help other international students to get comfortable with life in New Zealand.
