Institution Overview

Just our third direct NZ university partner, AUT is a young university (20 years since inauguration as a university) with an already impressive track record, including as a destination for international students. 

Adventus already has agreements in place with AUT’s pathway partners (Taylor’s College and Up Education) so this direct agreement gives us great scope to send students to our NZ partners across a diverse range of institutions, locations and courses.
