Undergraduate Orientation Programme
Get started as an undergraduate bachelors student at the University of Auckland with your faculty session, welcome events and activities.
On your Orientation Day, you can expect to be welcomed by the UniGuides and experience a Mihi Whakatau as you get to know the University and your faculty. Test your skills in our campus tour challenge before ending the day with a fun social event!
For our Māori and Pacific students, join us for a pōwhiri at Waipapa Marae followed by whakawhanaungatanga with Māori and Pacific students and staff.
If you're an international student, we encourage you to attend our International Orientation in addition to your faculty day. This will help you find out all you need to know about studying at the University of Auckland, living in Auckland and enjoying your time in New Zealand.
