Online Programmes for International Students
For international students currently offshore who are unable to study on campus due to border restrictions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, there are some AUT programmes they can study online in 2022.
You can progress your qualification now without needing a student visa to study from your home country. You can then safely transition to study on campus in the near future once the borders are open, or if you become eligible for any new border exception cohorts announced by the New Zealand government.
Moreover, students of Bachelor’s degree level and above can still be eligible for a Post Study Work Visa if they study on campus for at least one year.
The list of online programmes is available on the AUT website.
