Bachelor of Education welcome information

My AUT is an online portal for accessing student information and services at AUT. You can view your timetable and enrolment and get access to Arion, Canvas, etc. Please note that the timetable is subject to change. It is recommended that you check regularly.

You can find a lot of useful information for new students here. Each course you are enrolled in will be available on Canvas one week before teaching begins.

We recommend you download the AUT App, which contains everything you need to make the most of your time studying at AUT, including your personal timetable, AUT Wallet, quick access to your grades, interactive campus maps and other important or interesting information.

AUT’s Orientation programme is designed to help new students such as yourself feel welcomed, informed, and connected as you begin your journey at Auckland University of Technology.  There will be a specific session for the Bachelor of Education students, so look out for this in the programme!

Orientation includes campus tours, academic preparation sessions and introductions to key support services. A range of resources are available to support you throughout your studies, including the Student Hub for academic and wellbeing advice, AUT Library services, and IT support. International students also have access to dedicated support, including visa, health insurance, and cultural transition guidance.

AUT’s Orientation Week isn’t just about academic prep. It is packed with fun and social events to help you settle in and make new friends. Organised by AUT, O-Week features live performances, games, cultural activities, and free food across all campuses.

Practicum teaching placements

All students are enrolled in a practicum course each semester where they are placed alongside an associate teacher in a primary or intermediate school. These practicum placements are connected to the Teaching Council - Standards for the Teaching Profession and provide students with a coherent pathway of study which grows in complexity and length over time. This ensures students become effective, responsive and reflective teachers.

As part of these placements, students will work with children between 5-12 years of age across a diverse range of schools.

You must be prepared to travel up to an hour each way to access your practicum placements in Auckland.
