The University of Auckland, New Zealand’s top-ranked institution (65th in QS ranking), is one of Paris School of Business’ international partners, offering exchange opportunities for students who wish to experience life on the other side of the world.
The strengths of the university
A leading university in New Zealand
As the country’s largest university, the University of Auckland offers the widest range of courses to incoming students, with more than 100 subjects available. Very few courses are restricted, allowing exchange students to tailor their academic journey to their interests and goals. Each year, the university welcomes around 8,000 international students from all over the world, including France, the United States, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Japan, and the UK.
A strong support system for international students
The Study Abroad team provides dedicated support from the application process through to the students’ return home. Multiple online sessions help prepare students before their arrival, while a week-long International Orientation ensures a smooth integration on campus. At the end of the semester, a farewell party and information session help students close their exchange on a positive note.
The student’s experience
A culturally rich experience
Beyond academics, the University of Auckland places great importance on cultural immersion and community engagement. Exchange students can participate in Waipapa Noho Marae, a weekend programme introducing them to Māori traditions and life in a traditional meeting house. Another initiative, Generation Changemaker, offers students the chance to learn about climate action in New Zealand while contributing to volunteer projects such as tree planting in Auckland.
Discovering Auckland and New Zealand
Studying at the University of Auckland means not only joining a world-class institution, but also experiencing the country’s breathtaking landscapes and outdoor lifestyle. With its proximity to stunning beaches and its vibrant, multicultural community, Auckland provides the perfect setting for exploration and discovery.
An unforgettable opportunity
For students who are still hesitant about going on exchange, the University of Auckland team encourages them to take the leap. Studying abroad is the ideal time to immerse oneself in a new culture, build a global network, and create memories that will last a lifetime.
