AUT University

Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is an inclusive community. We welcome people of all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, religious and political beliefs, socioeconomic situations and accessibility needs, by improving equity and creating a sense of shared community and belonging where everyone is valued.

AUT was the first university in New Zealand to receive the Rainbow Tick, which means that we understand, value and welcome sexual and gender diversity. As well as delivering Rainbow scholarships, we have a dedicated Rainbow Community Manager and Rainbow Room to support students and provide an accepting environment on campus. And, our student groups, [email protected] and [email protected] (Transgender, Gender Non-Confirming), host annual events, weekly drop-ins and an active student club. AUT also sponsors the Big Gay Out and takes part in the Pride Parade.
