Auckland University of Technology (AUT) has for the first time been ranked New Zealand’s second placed university in the prestigious Times Higher Education (THE) World University Rankings 2023.

The result in the THE rankings, which were released today, also further cements AUT’s place as one of the world’s highest ranked universities with it placed among the top 300 globally.

AUT Vice-Chancellor, Professor Damon Salesa, says the rankings were underpinned by the university’s strong performance in areas such as international outlook, research excellence and academic citations.

“To be officially recognised as New Zealand’s outright second ranked university for the first time is a significant achievement for AUT as the country’s youngest university,” Professor Salesa says.

“To again be ranked as New Zealand’s top placed university for research impact and international outlook reflects the huge amount of hard work put in by our staff over the past few years, and is a big reason why students from over 100 countries choose to study at AUT every year.
