AUT University
Ranking Highlights

Recognized globally as a leading global enterprise, AUT University is dedicated to delivering academic excellence.

Looking at the Shiksha Grading by Courses, most of the AUT University courses are in the range of B++ and C++ grades.

With this method, courses are graded on the basis of their availability at the college in a particular country and universities are graded by the countries.

Moving forward, according to 'University Ranking' category of QS 2025, AUT University ranks #412, showing a downgrade from its previous ranking of #407 in 2024.

4.1

The faculty are highly knowledgeable and experts in their field.

Tips: There are scholarships that you can avail of at any point of time during your course. There is a considerable number of Indian and Indian food available, so not much of a cultural shift. There is a large number of international students including Chinese and Indians. You have to study yourself and lecturers will only teach assuming you have prior knowledge of the subject. You have to do your homework really well. Overall, I am quite satisfied with my course, university and the country.

Likes (Permanent Immigration): The chances of permanent settlement are really easy. You just have to follow the general immigration path. Given a chance, I might like to permanently immigrate for its peaceful environment and natural beauty. You need to have good references and a network here to land a job as the job market is tight but once you land the first job things get easier.

Dislikes (Public transportation): Transportation is well connected with regular buses at small intervals but the cost of transportation is too high even with student discounts. However, you get a travel pass limit of 50 dollars per week. As an international student that cost seems too high.

My transformative experience at AUT.

Tips: Coming from a Cambridge board and A Level background, I was somewhat familiar with the Western education system. However, adapting to university life in a new country had its challenges. Since I arrived in NZ, I have been pursuing my Master's in Engineering while maintaining a full-time job. One of the most notable cultural shifts was the difference in communication style. I found that people here tended to be more direct and informal, which was quite different from the more reserved and formal interactions I was accustomed to. Additionally, social norms around collaboration and group work were different. Teamwork was emphasized, and I had to adapt to expressing my ideas more openly in discussions. Overall, while there were challenges, the transition has been enriching and I am fully satisfied with the experiences.

Excellent faculty and an amazing university experience.

Tips: The university experience is a lot different from what I had in India. The assignments are very practical, and there is help whenever you ask for it. I availed a scholarship from the Faculty of Arts and Culture which added NZD 5000 towards my fees. I'm very satisfied with the experience.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty is excellent and extremely approachable. All the professors are very kind and helpful. The entire course is taught in a very practical manner which is helpful to get a job in the future. The faculty is very diverse in terms of nationality.

Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is well connected with the rest of the city via trains and buses. However, public transport is quite expensive, and trains and buses are either often late or get cancelled at the last moment. While students do receive a discount, the expenses are still not very affordable.

The university is great with friendly people.

Tips: The cultural shift was huge to me, but people were very friendly everywhere I went. I never applied for any kind of scholarship, but I'm sure there is a scholarship opportunity for 1st years. I'm immensely satisfied with my course, university, and the country. I made so many friends, the teaching team is really great, and the country is beautiful and the people are too.

Likes (Student Life): I get to pick my class timings, and all my classes are flexible, so that's the best thing about university life for me. I usually go to university when I have classes, which are usually around 16 hours every week. There are various clubs all around campus, and you can join them whenever you'd like. There are RUOK advisors who check up on students around campus and support them. There are ECMS, sports, math, Compsci, and quite a lot of other clubs. These clubs and events around campus gave me an opportunity to connect with people and make new friends at every event.

Dislikes (Indian Food): There are different kinds of restaurants around, and most of the places serve various cuisines, so there are heaps of options. Also, some places offer student discounts or have special combos for students. It's usually about 15 - 25 Dollars for a person. I prefer cooking meals at home, but there are some really good options if I want to eat out.

Master of Engineering - Batch of 2024

A modern university with diversity, scholarship and post-graduation opportunities.

Tips: The University provides with good exposure and opportunities to mingle with students from different places. I had applied for a scholarship before my arrival unfortunately, I couldn't get it. Many of the recent batch (February intake) students received scholarships for accommodation close to the campus. The University, course and country are good. The 3 year stay back option is really helpful for the students.

Likes (Safety): There are access cars for students to access the university facilities during weekends. There are study rooms that are pre-booked and are accessible during weekends too. People here are generally friendly however, there are reports of increasing crime activities from different parts of the city.

Dislikes (Student Life): Students pursuing PG courses do not spend much time at the University apart from attending lectures or preparing assignments. I had lectures for 2 hours every weekday in the first semester. The final semester comprises just a project with only once a week appointments with the project supervisors. A lot of events are organised by different clubs such as Students Associations, Employability Clubs etc. There are also events related to festivals such as Diwali, Onam etc.

It was a diverse, fun, friendly, and helpful environment.

Tips: I didn't feel a bit different from back home, it was the same but 5 times more fun. Students should have to know about the scholarship programme if you are lucky it would be a great help. Very satisfied with the outcome which makes us be engaged in many active programs and has the best speakers and exposure to the companies.
