University Overview
Waipapa Taumata Rau, our new Māori name for the University of Auckland, gifted by Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei, was confirmed in 2021. The University’s reach goes far beyond the boundaries of the Auckland supercity, with global standing and reputation, international partnerships, and facilities located across the North Island of Aotearoa New Zealand. The University estate is a key enabler and facilitator of the University’s vision, its engagement with mana whenua and communities within Aotearoa and supports the world-leading teaching and research that the University delivers. The Auckland City Campus (City Campus) is home to a number of historically important sites that predate the University’s presence in Tāmaki Makaurau, Tāmaki Herenga Waka. Apihai Te Kawau’s, Ngāti Whātua Ōrākei paramount chief, gifted 3,000 acres to establish Auckland as the country’s capital in 1840. This gift was confirmed near Te Wahanga Ture, The Law School at Te Rerenga-ora- iti. Such places are of national and cultural significance and form part of Aotearoa’s story.
