This means when you join our whānau, you become connected to a network of industry partners and employment opportunities that can open doors for you. Our passionate tutors across multiple study areas are highly regarded and influential in their chosen fields.
Whatever path you wish to pursue, we'll do what we can to help you reach your goal. Our internationally-recognised qualifications are yours for the taking, and the journey to get them can be a rewarding and uplifting experience.
Hello to all - Kia ora tatou
Since 1905, our mission has been to support the development of Te Tauihu through high-quality applied vocational and professional education and training. International collaboration since the mid-1990s has enabled us to create strong partnerships with several offshore institutions.
Smaller class sizes mean you benefit from more one-on-one time with your tutor and you'll get to know your classmates too. Whether you're collaborating on projects together or partaking in one of the many events and social activities that fill up our calendar, know that you'll never be just a face in the crowd at NMIT.
