When you arrive

Your host department will be your main point of contact for any administrative issues you have during your time here. You should address any questions, requests or concerns to your research host or the academic unit you will be based in during your stay. When you arrive, your host department will take you through a health and safety induction, and get you up and running by sorting out access to:

• IT access for computer, web and wifi
• Visitor access to the Library
• Departmental facilities (building access, workstation etc)
• Departmental groups/social activities you can get involved in

You can speak to your host department about any requirements you have or issues that arise during your time at the University of Auckland.

Visit the Student IT Hub

You can print out Campus Card at the Student IT Hub located in the General Library once you arrive. You'll also find IT support here if needed.

A bank account will be extremely useful for your day-to-day living while you’re here. Find out what you need to do to open a bank account in New Zealand here: Living and studying in Auckland

You’ll be working hard on your research, but try to take advantage of being in a new country and at a new institution. Broaden your academic networks and make new friends by coming along to a doctoral event, attending a departmental seminar or getting involved in campus activities.
