Auckland University of Technology (AUT) is a dynamic, vibrant and rewarding place with a hugely diverse body of students and staff. As one of the world's top 40 young universities and New Zealand's newest, AUT is about delivering on the promise of the university education to all students and making that opportunity available.

AUT has over 29,000 students and around 3,000 staff across three Auckland teaching campuses.
Our Vice-Chancellor's Office (VCO) comprises a small team that provides critical support and advice for our Vice-Chancellor in the delivery of the University's strategic and business plans. The Office is led by the Head of the Vice-Chancellor's Office, who forms part of a new leadership group set on extending the great work already happening at AUT.
