Virtual Study Buddies

Our Virtual Study Buddies programme will help you feel like you are part of the University of Auckland before even stepping foot on campus.

Studying online can be challenging. Having no peers or lecturers around you can make staying motivated difficult, and the whole study experience, isolating.

That’s why you can now access our Virtual Study Buddies programme, you will feel like you are part of the University before even stepping foot on campus.

A Virtual Study Buddy is an international student of the University of Auckland who is based in Auckland.

All you need to do is request to be paired with one for regular contact. This way, you can learn more about what being on campus and living in Auckland is like, ask any questions you might have, get support while studying online and make a friend in the process.

A Virtual Study Buddy will also help prepare you for when you come and join us here in Auckland. They will keep you connected to everything that’s happening at the University of Auckland.

The Virtual Study Buddies programme is free to join and optional.

We look forward to assigning Study Buddies early in Semester One 2022.
