About
The University of Auckland is a public research university in Auckland, New Zealand. It is the largest university in New Zealand. It was established in 1883 as Auckland University College, a constituent college of the University of New Zealand, following the passage of the Auckland University College Act 1882. In its early years the college operated from a disused courthouse and jail. The university became an autonomous institution under the University of Auckland Act 1961, and is now administered under that Act together with the Education and Training Act 2020. The university's Māori name, Waipapa Taumata Rau, was gifted by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei in 2021.
