Study options

The University of Auckland offers an impressive range of study options with 130 postgraduate programmes across eight faculties and two large-scale research institutes.

Under a New Zealand Government scheme, new international PhD students usually pay the same annual tuition fees as New Zealand students.

A reputation for research excellence

As New Zealand's largest research organisation with more than 12,000 staff and students involved in fundamental and applied research, postgraduate students have the opportunity to learn from and collaborate with outstanding academics. The University is a research-intensive university that has research strengths in both traditional disciplines and emerging cross-disciplinary subjects. 

We are the only New Zealand university that has both Engineering and Medical and Health Sciences faculties. This has enabled pioneering collaborations between medical and engineering researchers and resulted in the creation of the flagship Bioengineering Institute, internationally recognised for its sophisticated computer modelling of living organisms.

Student support

We provide extensive facilities, services and support for all students including academic learning support, accommodation options, scholarships, counselling, sport and recreation facilities and many on-campus events.
