Master of Information Technology - Batch of 2025

Offered by University of Auckland

A holistic learning experience at a top ranked university.

Tips: Adapting to a new academic environment and living independently has been a valuable experience for me. There was a cultural shift, but I found it exciting and enriching to learn about new traditions, interact with diverse people, and adapt to a different way of life. I am very satisfied with my decision. The course has provided excellent academic exposure, and living here has been a transformative experience. The people are friendly and always ready to help. The faculty are highly talented and will guide us throughout the semester. There are many networking opportunities on-campus for students. I chose the right course, university, and country for my aspirations. Overall, I am satisfied with my experiences.

BE(Hons) in Biomedical Engineering - Batch of 2025

Offered by University of Auckland

4.2

Esha’s positive opinion about life at the University of Auckland.

Tips: The culture itself is very diverse with a lot of clubs and event always going on. I did not apply for any scholarships, however, there are plenty to apply for and always advertised in and outside of class. I am, overall, very satisfied with the University of Auckland, the quality of my engineering courses, and the kiwi atmosphere as a whole.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty are all easily accessible by email, in-person after classes, and via office hours which they all offer. Teaching methods vary across faculty members however they all ask for feedback and cater to each class to meet the class's wants and needs. The teaching faculty is incredibly diverse in both nationality and gender.

Dislikes (Public transportation): The campus is very well connected with the rest of the city, in fact it is in the centre. Public transport is everywhere, and you can use it to get anywhere, however, the prices have gone up, so I highly recommend applying for a Tertiary Study discount.

Bachelor of Commerce - Batch of 2026

Offered by University of Auckland

2.9

A simple university with a diverse range of students and different faculties.

Tips: There wasn't a cultural shift for me. However, some things that are native to New Zealand can be a bit of a shift. The university is a little boring, and the country doesn't have many things to do. On the other hand, the people are very friendly, and it's easy to make friends. The lifestyle is very relaxed.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The University of Auckland has a great building and a nice space to work. The faculty members are very diverse. The teaching includes labs, tutorials, and lectures. Most classes have three lectures per week, an hour or two hours long. Commerce labs are one hour long, and science labs are three hours of practical work. Tutorials are one hour long and are held biweekly.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): I'm not sure what the job market was like before the recession, but it's difficult to get an internship these days. Retail stores usually hire people if they have working visas, and sometimes companies offer internships that lead to graduate jobs at "Big 4" companies.

Bachelor of Communication - Batch of 2025

Overall, I’ve loved my experience here.

Tips: I found the transition easy as everyone was super friendly. I stayed in halls in my first year. I was able to make friends easily, as I have always been a very social person. The halls were the right place for me to be, and I would recommend it to all of you.

Likes (Part time work): I work as a student ambassador and editor of our magazine, both of which pay me around 25 dollars an hour. The work is hectic but manageable. The magazine is a 5-hour-a-week work, and student ambassadors let me pick up shifts according to my convenience.

Dislikes (Indian Food): I usually cook for myself. I just haven't found the best authentic Indian food. I'm sure there are many restaurants, especially outside the city, but I tend to cook at home because I enjoy it more. There are a lot of good Asian restaurants that I often go to.

Master of Engineering Project Management - Batch of 2024

Offered by University of Auckland

Lively and cordial university in all multidimensional aspects.

Tips: Students should know that there is a huge cultural shift but it's a good one we can adapt easily. I didn't avail of any scholarships because I applied very late for the university but you can check for scholarships on the university website as it is mentioned. Try to opt for part-time opportunities as it helps to cut off on expenses. I'm very much satisfied and content with my experiences at the university.
