AUT’s mission is to create great graduates. To achieve this, the University creates exceptional learning experiences and dedicates specialist support for students to develop personally, socially, and culturally throughout their time at AUT.

AUT’s student services focus on student safety, health, and wellness, which is consistent with the University’s values of tika, pono and aroha (integrity, respect and compassion). The extensive pastoral support provided is complemented by a community-based residential experience within the on-campus student accommodation and an extensive employability programme that’s accessible to all students.
