Auckland University of Technology, New Zealand

New Zealand

In 1895 Auckland Technical School opens in a former cabinetmaking factory in Rutland Street with 137 students enrolled for night classes in vocational education and the trades.

In a triumph for colonial education, the school scores more exam passes than any of the larger technical schools in London. Expansion plans forge ahead with the purchase of land in Wellesley Street East.In 1906 a day technical school opens. The institution is renamed Auckland Technical College.

During 1960 the college separates into two institutions — a technical high school and a polytechnic division headed by Roderick Keir.The Department of Education heralds the move as a “major turning point in the history of New Zealand’s technical education system”.The polytechnic division is renamed the Auckland Technical Institute and, under the Education Amendment Act 1963, is officially recognised as offering advanced vocational education.

AIT makes history as New Zealand’s first polytechnic to become a university, and renames itself AUT in 2000. Yachtsman Sir Peter Blake receives AUT’s first Honorary Doctorate.
