As we step into 2026, we’re delighted to continue working alongside you to support students on their journey to success at the University of Auckland.

Here in Auckland, summer is in full bloom. From the golden sands of Mission Bay to the lively waterfront atmosphere at the Viaduct, it’s a wonderful time to experience everything our city has to offer.

Whether it’s wandering through lush green parks, enjoying alfresco dining, or spending time by the coast soaking up the sunshine, Auckland is the perfect place to begin the year on a high note.

Here’s to a rewarding year ahead, full of new opportunities, shared achievements, and strong partnerships. Ngā mihi nui—let’s make 2026 a year to remember!

With Semester 1 2026 fast approaching, we appreciate your patience regarding the outcomes of future term applications.

We are continuing to assess applications, make decisions, and update conditional offers for future terms. However, there may be delays as we work to ensure all Semester 1 applications are processed as efficiently as possible.

Additionally, until all requested documentation for an applicant has been received, we are unable to update their application to study.

Applications submitted a year or more in advance are likely to experience longer wait times for a final decision, as there is often insufficient documentation available at that stage to provide a definitive outcome. We thank you for your continued patience and cooperation.

As with our last update, the team are heavily focused on processing these large cohorts. Applicants should now have received their application outcomes.

If you haven’t yet followed our Instagram and Facebook, now is a great time to do so! These platforms feature international students sharing authentic insights into their campus life, academic experiences, cross-cultural friendships, and exploring Auckland.
