South Auckland Campus – Te Papa Ako o Tai Tonga
Study in the community you love while attending New Zealand’s leading university.
We were the first University to operate in South Auckland, establishing a presence in Otara in 1999, in partnership with Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT).
Building on 20 years’ experience in delivering the Bachelor of Education (Teaching), we are also offering preparation programmes and selected Business and Education programmes and courses from our new location in the heart of South Auckland.
University of Auckland students living locally can use the space for informal study, and all students have access to study-support services.
