Student health and wellbeing
We actively encourage students to be aware of their wellness needs – mind, body and spirit. As an AUT student you have access to medical centres on campus, free and confidential counselling sessions, and programmes that help you develop your resilience and creativity, increase your confidence and be successful in your studies, career and life.
