AUT University- New Zealand

Congratulations,

AUT becomes New Zealand’s most international university

The Times Higher Education’s list of the world’s most international universities has named Auckland University of Technology (AUT) the twelfth most international university in the world – making AUT New Zealand’s most international university.

Released last week, the rankings recognise universities that have demonstrated an international outlook. They consider each institution’s proportion of international staff and students, and the extent to which its academics collaborate with international colleagues. Universities must have ranked in the top 800 of the overall 2015-2016 ranking to be considered. 

AUT has academic staff from around the world, and more than 7,000 international students from over 100 countries. Together they make a significant contribution to academic life, knowledge sharing, the culture of the University and to wider society. 

AUT Vice Chancellor Derek McCormack says the ranking highlights the University’s strong standing and reputation, and is a significant accomplishment for AUT, which is New Zealand’s second largest and fastest-growing university. 

“To be recognised alongside the world’s top universities in just our sixteenth year as a university is an outstanding achievement, and is testament to the quality of teaching, learning and research that AUT provides.”

 

“The fact that we are ranked twelfth in the world for our international outlook illustrates that we are an attractive work and study destination internationally, and an institution that recognises the value international students and staff bring to the University.”

“An institution’s global outlook is one of the key markers of a prestigious university,” says Phil Baty, Times Higher Education World University Rankings editor. 

“The top institutions hire faculty from all over the world, attract students from a global market of top talent and collaborate with leading departments wherever they happen to be based. Being named one of the most international universities in the world is a sign of great potential, competitiveness and dynamism.” 

Last year AUT ranked 681-800 in the Times Higher Education World University Rankings, was ranked in the top 500 universities by the QS World University Rankings®, and AUT’s School of Art and Design was ranked in the top 50 in this year’s QS World University Rankings by Subject®.
