Join us as we drive positive change
Join New Zealand’s pre-eminent research-intensive university. Consistently ranked in the top 100 universities in the world (including four consecutive top 10 UNSDG impact rankings), our commitment to academic excellence is just as strong as yours.
We are a fully comprehensive public university, conducting teaching and research across six faculties and two large-scale research institutes. Our defining characteristics relate to our place: partnerships established by Te Tiriti o Waitangi, our recognition of Māori as tangata whenua, the importance of making a distinctive contribution to the Pacific and its communities, and our commitments to academic freedom, sustainability, social equity and access to education.
Our medical students work alongside leading specialists at Auckland City Hospital, while the Faculty of Law is within walking distance of the courts and major legal firms. The Business School has a close relationship with leading Auckland companies, and academics from our Faculty of Engineering, School of Population Health and School of Architecture and Planning serve on think tanks helping to shape the city’s future.
The University of Auckland occupies a unique position in New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific. It is New Zealand’s largest university and an international centre of learning and academic excellence. Auckland is a vibrant, cosmopolitan, and rapidly growing city with a population of 1.8m, and is the commercial heart of New Zealand. We have an abundance of natural features, including four stunning harbours and accessible coastline, native bush and moderate temperatures, which help us to retain our reputation as one of the best cities in the world in which to live.
We aspire to contribute to a fair, ethical, and sustainable society, reflecting our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and our foundational relationship with tangata whenua. The University is committed to a culture that encourages and supports staff to reach their full potential in an inclusive and collaborative community of scholars.
