History of Auckland University Of Technology

Auckland University of Technology, also known as AUT was founded as Auckland Technical School in 1895, offering evening classes only. Daytime classes began in 1906 and its name was changed to Auckland Technical College. In 1913 it was renamed Seddon Memorial Technical College. In the early 1960s educational reforms resulted in the separation of secondary and tertiary teaching; two educational establishments were formed; the tertiary (polytechnic) adopting the name Auckland Technical Institute (ATI) in 1963 and the secondary school continuing with the same name. It has been affiliated with Universities in New Zealand. QS World University rankings gave it a global rank of #486, Times Higher Education Rankings gave it a global rank in the range #251-300, and US News and World Report gave it a global rank of #372 in 2023.
