Student Reviews
AUT quick review
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
I am enjoying my experience at AUT. I have found the smaller classers make getting to know your lecturers a lot easier, and most of the time they are more than happy to help you.
Disappointing about AUT
Anonymous rated 1 out of 5 stars
I would not say Auckland University of Technology is not a good university, but their School of Science, especially Food Science is really poor in facility, the program is nit interesting because you literally study again all the basic things that you had learnt in undergraduate. I don't want to disappointed you, but study postgraduate is not sweet like you think. You will...
