Welcome to Auckland Law School’s Equity page. Auckland Law values diversity and is committed to equity, inclusion and creating a safe and supportive environment which fosters learning and growth for all students and staff.

Auckland Law is committed to attracting the strongest students from all walks of life and widening its intake of students from diverse backgrounds. Our targeted admissions and support schemes for Māori and Pasifika students, students with disabilities, students from low socio-economic
backgrounds, and students from refugee backgrounds are important for maintaining and improving our vibrant community.
