Relevant learning, connected to practice
Lecturers and researchers throughout the faculty have strong partnerships
and ongoing collaboration with policymakers, official registration boards,
professional and subject associations, and employers in the community.
These relationships ensure that what you learn is linked to current issues
and trends in policy, practice, research and evaluation and provide you
with the confidence to ask the critical questions, explore opportunities for
change and become a thought leader and expert in your field.
Scholarships and funding
The University of Auckland has increased the number and value of
postgraduate scholarships available, which includes 200 University of
Auckland Doctoral Scholarships, to ensure that the best students are able
to study with us.
We offer guaranteed scholarships to high-achieving domestic research
students; the streamlined application process means that you will be
considered for a scholarship at the same time as your application for study.
A range of other postgraduate scholarships and awards are also available
specifically for postgraduate students studying education, social work,
counselling, professional supervision and social and community leadership
programmes. These include Ministry of Education subsidies, Teaching
English in Schools to Speakers of Other Languages (TESSOL) study awards,
and faculty-specific scholarships to support a particular research focus.
Summer Research Scholarships are also available for those who wish to
gain research experience whilst considering their postgraduate study
interests.
The Ministry of Education offers a variety of study awards and grants to
support teacher professional development. We encourage you to explore
your options.
The Tertiary Fees Funding Support scheme offered by the Ministry of
Education supports primary and intermediate teachers to undertake
tertiary study in priority areas for teacher professional learning and
development. Many of our postgraduate courses with a literacy or
numeracy focus are eligible for course fee subsidies.
Supportive and friendly environment
Lecturers will guide you through taught courses. Throughout your
dissertation, research portfolio or thesis writing, you will be supported by
supervisors with expertise in the research topic and method of research
you are undertaking. You will also benefit from our strong postgraduate
research community of staff and students, who can offer valuable support
and advice.
The University as a place of work and study is committed to the values
of equity. A range of personal, financial, technical, library and healthcare
support services are available at our campuses to enable students to
achieve their potential and overcome barriers to success.
