The University of Auckland offers a wide range of programmes for international students at the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. Many of the study programmes on offer require students to select from a wide range of courses, from all known domains of knowledge such as the arts, sciences, medicine, engineering, education, and much more.
Students can choose a specialisation, a single or double major, or a major and a minor. This will determine the subjects and courses to focus on for a large part of the degree programme as students pursue their chosen area to the most advanced undergraduate stage.
Master’s programmes at the University of Auckland are generally offered as either research or taught programmes. Taught masters aim to provide students with advanced specialist training in their chosen field, and are usually completed by coursework only, although they may in some cases involve a dissertation. Many of these qualifications can be completed in 18 months or less.
Doctoral programmes, leading to the award of a PhD, are generally undertaken over a minimum of three years full-time. They require students to prepare a substantial thesis of original research that contributes significantly to knowledge and understanding in that particular discipline, followed by an oral examination. The PhD is offered in 100 different subjects and offers a wealth of research opportunities, including the chance to work in cross-disciplinary projects.
New international PhD students pay the same annual tuition fee as New Zealand PhD students. Financial aid, in the form of various scholarships, is available at all levels of study for international students.
