Balanced MEM experience at University of Auckland with strong learning but limited job market.
Tips: MEM at the University of Auckland blends engineering & management, with a strong focus on self-learning, teamwork, and real-world applications. Living in Auckland can be expensive, so financial planning is important. The transition is smooth culturally, more open, and interactive. Good university but small job market. Scholarships ~$5-$10k. Overall, it's a good university with quality education, though the job market is relatively small and competitive.

Very limited opportunities.
Tips: The way of teaching and assessing is different from what we are used to. Have to put some extra effort during the initial phase. There are different scholarships available like the India High Achievers Scholarship and other kinds also. I was awarded the India High Achievers Scholarship which is specifically for students from India and the amount varies depending on the application, from 5000 to 20000.
Likes (Indian Food): There are a lot of restaurants that serve Indian cuisine and prices will vary but you can expect around 25 - 30 NZD each time. I prefer cooking myself which is way cheaper compared to what needs to be spent each time when eating outside. Groceries cost around 60-100 NZD per week.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The current job market is not that good limiting the options for an immigrant student. Networking is very important in acquiring a job in the current market. There are graduate programs offered by various firms that run from 2 to 3 years focusing on graduate students.

The university of filled with talented and friendly professors. The student life was excellent.
Tips: Other than many European countries, New Zealand is very immigrant-friendly. Everyone is minding their own business, and most of the people are really friendly. I haven't experienced any cultural shifts as everyone is easygoing and many people from India were here.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty members are very talented and helpful. They'll allow us special time slots to ask doubts and they'll help us study. Proper sessions are conducted without the need for extra classes. The study materials provided are also of good quality.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are many companies out here. But it is a different scenario, there are no direct campus placements conducted. There are many job fair, where companies come and introduce themselves to the students. They'll share information and encourage us to apply for the graduate roles.

Learning through and growing.
Tips: My experience has been positive so far. I gave myself a week to explore the area and figure out all the go to spots for essentials, socialising and more. The campus is very global and safe so I would say it is quite student friendly as well. It can get competitive after the first semester so keep upskilling.

M.Eng. in Software Engineering - Batch of 2026
Offered by University of Auckland
4.1
Top tier academic with DIY vibe.
Tips: Before joining, know that you must manage your own schedule and take the DELNA English test. Build the interpersonal or soft skills because universities focus on networking which will help in communication and making friends. Before coming check the accommodation on campus and the city is expensive, look for home stay or the outskirts.
Likes (Safety): The University of Auckland scores for safety because of security escorts and swipe-card building access. The university app "UoA Kahau" and well-lit provide the safe route. While the campus is secure, avoid Albert Park at night time due to homelessness. If someone is locked somewhere on the campus, then call the security they will help.
Dislikes (Internships): To get an internship as an international student is difficult but not impossible. The university offers CDES resume workshops and job boards, but active placements are rare. Support is decent but this is difficult for international students especially those who have experience.
