Study education
Education shapes everything. How we think, what we value, who we become. At AUT, you'll be in real classrooms and communities as part of your studies – planning lessons, shaping learning and building relationships that matter. Whether you're training to teach or exploring how education systems work, you'll be supported by educators who've led schools, created policy and driven research. Small classes mean you're seen, stretched and backed to grow. By the time you graduate, you'll be ready to teach, lead or challenge the system; because you've already started.
Undergraduate study in education will give you a solid grounding in your chosen area.
