Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is bold and unapologetically different, centred on students and grounded in Knowledge that Works driven by talented, progressive people. We are New Zealand’s newest university, ranked 5-stars by QS Universities 2025 and a place of opportunity where more than 26,000 students with talent and potential succeed, supported by a community of more than 4,000 staff based primarily across three Auckland campuses. Built on collaboration, shared purpose, and the values of Pono (fact, truth, reality, integrity), Tika (acting accordingly, doing what is needed, ethical expression), and Aroha (empathy, care, compassion). AUT offers an innovative, forward-thinking environment where committed people work together to improve outcomes for students, communities, and the world.
AUT recognises the importance of Te Tiriti, Māori and Pacific knowledge, leadership, and contribution across our university and is committed to creating environments where these communities can thrive. We embrace diversity in all its forms and are proud to welcome people of all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religious and political beliefs, socio-economic situations, and accessibility needs.
AUT’s School of Education Te Kura Mātauranga is a leading provider of education qualifications and Initial Teacher Education, offering undergraduate and postgraduate programmes that integrate research-informed teaching with authentic, real-world learning. The School produces world-class research with impact on educational policy and practice. It fosters a vibrant, collaborative scholarly community and sits within AUT’s dynamic Faculty of Culture and Society.
The Opportunity \| Te Whiwhinga mahi
