IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT AUCKLAND UNIVERSITY OPEN DAY

Important changes to Open Day on Campus 2020

With Tâmaki Makaurau at Alert Level 3, the University of Auckland has made the decision to cancel this year’s Open Day On Campus event that was scheduled for Saturday 29 August. This is in line with Government guidelines around gatherings, and ensures the safety and wellbeing of our community.

We know many of your students have been looking forward to this day and were making plans to join us for our on campus event. We are sorry that we won’t be able to welcome students on to our Auckland city campus but would like to let them know that we will still be holding our Open Day Online this coming week from Tuesday 25 through to Thursday 27 August.

The University of Auckland Open Day Online is a series of webinars and online panel discussions that cover everything students and families need to know about studying with us in 2021. It’s a chance to find out about the extensive range of programmes we offer and hear from our graduates and teaching staff about what it’s like to be a student here. There will also be virtual tours of our campus, information about how to apply and a rundown of the scholarships students can apply for. We thank you for sharing this information with your students and appreciate your support in promoting this event.

We recommend that students register for Open Day Online where they will be able to learn more about our upcoming webinars, build their timetable and start viewing our On Demand content.
