Communications Advisor

He aha te kai a te Rangatira? He kōrero, he kōrero, he kōrero - What is the food of leaders? Communication. Ko wai mātou | Who we are As one of the world's top 100 young universities and New Zealand's newest, Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is a university of opportunity where all students with talent and potential have the chance to succeed. We are a socially driven university with equity and excellence central to our purpose and actions, and we offer a stimulating teaching and research environment with strong connections to government, business, and industry.

AUT has more than 27,000 students and over 4,000 staff based primarily at our three Auckland teaching campuses. Te Mātāpuna Library and Learning is AUT's whare pukapuka (library), and our name comes from the special connection AUT has to the underground waterways and rivers that flow through Tāmaki Makaurau, connecting us to both the Manukau and Waitematā harbours. Each of our mātāpuna (campus libraries) is like a fountain of knowledge for its campus — a place where people come together to learn, connect, and be inspired.
