There are different ways to apply for study at the University of Auckland, depending on the level of study you are applying for (like undergraduate or postgraduate), the mode of study (like on campus or online), and the duration of the programme (like a three-year degree, or a short-term study abroad or exchange experience).


Our guides will help you through the process step by step. They include details about what you need to submit, and information about visa requirements and finding an international agent in your area to help with your application.


It's best to get started on your application as early as you can so that you have time to organise your visa and other documents.
