                               “I was raised to always think outside the box, or even better, to think of a new
                               box altogether. AUT embodies this by taking bold moves and forging a new
                               path that older universities end up following. AUT was a sure-fire choice for
                               me – it gives you the opportunity to do what no other person your age is
                               doing; to really navigate that uncharted territory.”

                               “I’ll forever be an advocate for AUT. I loved all the opportunities I was
                               given – from the CO.STARTERS@AUT entrepreneurship programme to the
                               AUT Internz and the Summer of Tech internship programmes. I feel that at
                               AUT I was treated as an individual, had a voice, and was pointed towards
                               opportunities that would further my career and my personal development.”

                               “AUT provides a really international environment, which helps students
                               become familiar with the real workplace outside the university. AUT is ranked
                               in the top 1% of universities in the world, which is evidence for the quality of
                               its education. AUT is also the youngest of New Zealand’s universities, which
                               makes it the most dynamic and innovative university in the country.”

                               “AUT is a leading education provider in the Asia-Pacific region, renowned
                               for research excellence and innovative teaching. You’re immersed in a
                               multifaceted intellectual setting with the goal to train future leaders and
                               thinkers in all fields. There’s also a lot more collaborative learning with
                               smaller class sizes and I think it’s the thing that sets AUT apart from other
                               universities.”

                               “What is fascinating about AUT is the constant interaction between the
                               university and different New Zealand industries. Having academic staff who
                               are linked to businesses and industries is one of AUT’s greatest strengths.
                               AUT has the most wonderful professors, advisors and mentors who lead you
                               towards the right path. You’ll build your confidence by doing research and
                               problem solving, while being supported by people who believe in you.”
