welcome to aut university

welcome from the vice-chancellor

Welcome to AUT University and to our scholarship publication.

University education is about critical thinking, fresh ideas and new ways of doing things. It is challenging—even demanding—but its benefi ts are considerable; not only for the students themselves but also for their families, communities and the wider society and economy.

That is why AUT provides a wide range of undergraduate and postgraduate scholarships and awards: to encourage and support the contribution that university education makes, creating opportunities for individuals, and thereby enriching society as a whole.
