AUT's School of Nursing
The School of Nursing (part of our Faculty of Health and Environmental Sciences - Te Ara Hauora ā Pūtaiao) stands out as New Zealand's leading nursing educator and is ranked among the world's 100 (Shanghai Ranking).
We have a wonderful community of deeply committed academic scholars, clinical educators and professional colleagues focused on improving health outcomes both within New Zealand and internationally.
Guided by Te Aronui (AUT's Te Tiriti framework), our school ensures graduates are not only clinically proficient but also culturally aware.
Courses are designed to meet the shifting needs of healthcare and drive progress in patient care through ongoing world-class research.
Alongside close industry ties, our strong links to Health New Zealand, hospitals and private practices ensure that our students gain extensive clinical experience.
We have recently become a standalone school, energy is high and it is a hugely exciting time to consider joining us!
