M.Eng. in Software Engineering - Batch of 2026

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.

4.1

A strong foundation for the future growth.

Tips: Cultural experience is immense; getting used to it takes around 6 months of time. The cultural diversity comes especially when the festive season occurs. Also sports are different from our country which can cause a cultural shift. From the NZ Immigration department, the PM scholarship plan is there.

Likes (Quality of faculty): Top notch accessibility is provided with campus maps services as well. Teaching methodology is mostly PowerPoint and videos. The numerical part is also taught regarding the same as well as Zoomed projection techniques. Diversity is immense, you come across students from across the planet especially remote places, eg, Argentina, the Netherlands, Chile, Japan, etc.

Dislikes (Part time work): On campus jobs are limited to students who are living in Unilodges and college hostels; other jobs are available at local supermarkets and companies with vacancies—they're posted on their websites. You are legally entitled to work 20 hrs a week so it's quite manageable from an academic point of view. The current minimum wage is 23.85/hr. The average goes around the same amount.

Great city, people and work life balance.

Tips: Students should be aware of the University and their academics, specifically academic integrity. English communication is key and should be improved to the max whilst here. You have a wide range of scholarships available based on your previous grades or interviews with the evaluation panel.

Likes (Safety): Auckland is one of the top ranked student friendly cities. And New Zealand stands still in the happiness index. You won't have any bad experiences up here rather you will get the best treatment as a student. There are student hubs, student discounts everywhere a great campus with magnificent laboratory facilities.

Master of Civil Engineering - Batch of 2024

3.9

Good research institute.

Tips: I'm satisfied with the university courses. As it's updated and uses advanced technologies, it has really well-equipped labs. I haven't got the scholarship, but the university provides it scholarship, but not everyone can get it. You will overcome all your comfort zones.

Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty of my department is highly knowledgeable supportive and invests in students learning and research. Faculty members help even after working hours, and there is are student service support to help students. Faculty are of diverse backgrounds with lecturers from different countries and backgrounds.

Dislikes (Post study jobs): Companies rarely sponsor visas but employees can come on-site on a specific work visa. Nursing, medical roles and unskilled or skilled labourers with minimum wages of $25 to $30 per hour. The job market in New Zealand is competitive with many people applying for the same roles.

Master of Business Analytics - Batch of 2025

4.4

The availability of part time on-campus is very low and the university is very competitive.

Tips: Students should be aware of cultural differences and have essential life skills like cooking. They also need to be able to manage a 16-hour day with academics, part-time work, and personal obligations. Unfortunately, I did not receive a scholarship because they are very limited and competitive. The people here are generally nice, and there are always security guards and police officers around to keep everyone safe. If you are thinking about moving here, I would say that you should consider it. The city has a lot to offer, and I think you will be happy with your decision. I am very satisfied with my course, university, and the country.

Dislikes (Part time work): The availability of part time work on campus is very low and given the number of students at the university, it's very competitive. Off campus opportunities are better and you can usually find a job within a month if you keep applying. The course schedule is a bit hectic, but it's manageable if you have a background in analytics. The average payout is quite good.

Master of Business Administration - Batch of 2025

3.7

The city is expensive and it is difficult to find part time job.

Tips: This college is nice, and most of the faculty are really nice. However, some teachers have a very memory-based teaching method, which makes it difficult to learn the concepts that are being taught. Also, Auckland is very expensive, especially rent, so students should do their research on the country and the college before deciding to study here. Finding a job is very difficult, both part-time and full-time, so students should consider all their options, including studying in Australia.

Likes (Indian Food): Auckland has a large Indian community, and as a result, there are a lot of Indian restaurants and grocery stores in the city. Indian restaurants cost about 30-40 dollars per meal. The restaurants are expensive, but if you buy groceries at Indian stores and cook at home, you can save a lot of money. The grocery stores also have a wide variety of Indian ingredients that you can use to cook your own meals.

Dislikes (Part time work): The job market in Auckland is very tough as the country is deep in recession, and there are no part-time jobs. Students might find some casual jobs, but those are one-offs, and the students cannot rely on them. Barely any student in my Cohort has a job yet. It has been around more than 5 months and everyone is just relying on the money from parents. Living costs are through the roof so surviving here as a student is stressful and tough.
