Members of our well respected academic staff are leaders in their fields and committed to providing you with the best possible educational outcome.

Individual Focus
You are much more than just another student at AIS. Our class sizes are considerably smaller than many other Tertiary Education Organisations, guaranteeing you better access to academic staff when you need it and maximising your learning opportunities. Our fast track programmes, flexible entry dates and cross credit recognition mean you can take advantage of previous studies and achieve your educational goals quickly.

Supportive Environment
It’s important that you feel confident and comfortable while you are studying – especially if you are a long way from home. The park-like grounds of the St Helens campus add to the peaceful atmosphere of the institute – and are only 10 minutes drive to the centre of Auckland. Live on campus at our student hostel, catch up with your work in our library and unwind at our gymnasium and sports hall – all protected by 24 hour security. Our friendly and approachable Student Services and Marketing team are always available to give the best pastoral support possible – in your own language.

Real World Success
At AIS we understand that you are studying because you need options in the future- options for further study, for employment or even for immigration. Our industry – focused programmes are carefully designed to provide the training you will need to succeed. Gain relevant NZ work experience on the AIS MBA Internship Pathway or the AIS Graduate Placement Service. With students from over 40 countries on campus, as an AIS alumnus you will build an international network of contacts and life-long friends.
