Also, see the 2010 International Prospectus. PROGRAMME OF STUDY: Important Expressions: paper = module or course; points = credit points (1 AUT point = .5 ECTS); a 15 point paper = course of 3 hours attendance per week; level = level of learning; pre-requisite = paper(s) you must have passed before you can gain entry into a higher paper Note these two key points: You are entitled to enrol in papers up to a maximum of 60 points per semester. This is a full-time load. You must be enrolled in classes worth 60 points to retain your student visa. Number of Papers: You will enroll in papers equivalent to 60 AUT points = 30 ECTS (this is normally four papers). Each paper requires you to spend 3 hours of attendance in class per week. As well each paper represents 150 hours of your time in total through class attendance, reading and research, assessments and personal and group assignment preparation time. Levels: You are entitled to enroll in papers that are either Level 6 or Level 7. This is indicated by the third digit of the paper number: 366602 is a Level 6 paper, 407105 is a Level 7 paper. Level 6 and Level 7 represent high level capabilities in our Bachelor of Business and Graduate Diploma. At Level 7 you are expected to demonstrate strong critical assessment and analytical capabilities. You should be able to link theory to practice seamlessly and your communication skills must be at a high level. Any papers at Level 8 are in our Honors and Masters programs. You do not have automatic access to these. Pre-requisites: When you choose your papers, please be careful about pre-requisites. Many Level 7 modules have pre-requisite requirements. As a senior student at one of our partner business schools, you may have already done a module similar to the pre-requisite we require. Please therefore e-mail brief details of the paper you have done at your home business school to Roger Stokell when you wish to enrol in a paper at AUT that has a pre-requisite. Classes: Check the timetable carefully for Semester One 2005. Please do not select papers which clash in time. The paper occurence number (/10, /11 etc) indicates the time of the module. Example: 487961/10 (Marketing Strategy) indicates occurence 10. Occurrence 10 means that you have to attend this paper at 10 a.m.-midday on Tuesdays and on 10-11 a.m. on Thursdays. Papers offered: Not all papers are offered each semester. ONLY those on the timetable for Semester 1 2009 are being offered in Semester 1 2009.

AUT accommodation information.

How to apply for student accommodation.

There are a variety of accommodation options in Auckland, and students to date have generally lived in student residences, apartments around the central city area (that they have arranged themselves), or apartments (flats) or houses shared with other students (also arranged by themselves). Homestays with Kiwis (New Zealanders) are also possible.

Details of the residences are listed below:

A. Student Residences owned by Auckland University of Technology:

B. Student Residences owned by other organizations

1. Unilodge Auckland
2. Empire Apartments
3. Auckland YWCA
4. Auckland YMCA
5. Huia Residence
6. Rocklands Hostel (on a convenient bus route into the city centre)

C. Homestays

1. Kiwi Homestay Consultants

If you don't want to arrange accommodation until you get here, you should get here early!

To give you an idea of private rental arrangements, here are some web sites we have located:

1. www.crockers.co.nz
2. www.allenrealty.co.nz
3. TradeMe is a great site for finding a flat or someone looking for a flatmate. Like craigslist for New Zealand. You have to register a NZ address, but you can use the address of a hostel in Auckland and contact through email.

The above are web sites given for information only and they are not given as recommendations.

Things that you need to be aware of in renting privately is that there is usually a 12 month lease, you have to pay a bond, the accommodation may be furnished or not furnished (often not furnished), you must pay 2 weeks rental in advance and a bond equivalent to 4 weeks of rental.

Generally you cannot arrange to rent accommodation privately until you are in New Zealand.

You should therefore have some temporary accommodation reserved before you come.

For temporary accommodation, there are backpacker and YHA hotels in the central business district (CBD) near the AUT city campus. There will be more information on the web.

The following is a web site for one of the backpacker hotels, the Auckland Central Backpackers, and is given for information only.

While all our students end up in accommodation, it is very important to get arrangements made as soon as you can. Accommodation is often hard to get if you wait too long.

Generally all the student residences finalize their accommodation reservations in November. Therefore, if you wish to have a room in one of these, please contact David McGregor immediately.

UNI students pay program fee plus the study abroad fee to participate. The program cost does not include housing, food, books and supplies, round-trip air transportation, international health insurance, and personal expenses.
