International Student Support team
Our team consists of International Student Advisers and a Visa and Compliance Adviser.
We recognise the pressures that students face when studying overseas. Our friendly team of International
Student Advisers can help with a range of matters, including immigration, health and wellbeing, finances,
work and accommodation. While we will try our best to answer your study related questions, we advise you
to consult with your Faculty Student Centre (see pages 36-37) first for any academic questions, e.g. degree
planning, course advice, enrolment help, etc.
To meet with one of our Advisers please book an appointment:

Living in Auckland
Auckland is a great place to live and study, with the pulse of an urban lifestyle alongside
more tranquil settings of parks and beaches. With a population of approximately 1.4
million people, Auckland has a bustling centre with many activities, from international
concerts and sporting events, to cultural festivals and celebrations. Located between
two beautiful harbours (the Waitemata and the Manukau), there are dozens of beaches
to enjoy within minutes of the central city. Venture further afield and you can explore the
islands of the Hauraki Gulf or the wild west coast surf beaches. Whether you’re looking for
an outdoor adventure or a quiet morning coffee and browse in the local markets, there’s
always something to do in Auckland.
