Auckland University of Technology (AUT)

AUT is New Zealand’s youngest, most dynamic, and fastest growing university. Based in Auckland, New Zealand’s largest and most international city, we are a high performing university highly regarded for our international outlook, research, and teaching. International students, like you, are an incredibly important part of AUT. 

The AUT Certificate in Foundation Studies programme is designed to prepare you for entry into AUT’s undergraduate degree programmes by equipping you with essential subject knowledge, English language proficiency, and tertiary study skills. 

At AUT, our mission is to create great graduates. We work hard to offer a welcoming environment where people love to learn. We aim to approach students holistically, offering exceptional learning experiences, while supporting student wellbeing and providing student services and opportunities that support and inspire people from a wide range of diverse backgrounds and countries. 

The programme you are entering is taught on our behalf by UP Education, and AUT and UP have a long history of working together to support students. This has been a successful pathway to university students for more than 20 years, and after the successful completion of your studies, I look forward to welcoming you to AUT.
