Study in the heart of Manukau at MIT's new state-of-the-art campus.

The Manukau Campus is where cutting-edge education, industry and community connect – right in the heart of Manukau.

Newly developed courses in Applied Management and ICT from the Faculty from Business will be taught alongside our established courses in Business Administration, and Travel and Tourism. The Schools of Logistics, English and Foundation Education will also make their new homes at the Manukau Campus.

The Manukau Campus is a place for everyone, whether you’re a school leaver, or wanting to up-skill or change careers. All the good things you’ve heard about MIT you'll find at the Manukau Campus. Our courses are developed in consultation with local industry, so you’ll get hands-on skills and real work experience for the job you want.

At the Manukau Campus we combine our local knowledge with the latest in high-tech education. Our world-class Green-Star rated building is fitted out with fast wireless technology and a virtual desktop integration (VDI) system – the first in New Zealand – bringing the classroom to your laptop, tablet or smartphone.

The future of Manukau is right here at the Manukau Campus.

Log in anywhere, anytime.

All the very latest technology will be at your fingertips at the Manukau Campus. Our purpose-built campus will have wireless technology throughout, providing access to MIT’s virtual desktop integration (VDI) system.

The VDI system is a first for tertiary education in New Zealand. It means you can log in anywhere, anytime, and personalise your desktop, which you can call up on or off campus. Access is fast and powerful because the VDI system runs the software and applications. Plus you’ll be able to print to any printer on campus.

Some courses will use Bring Your Own Device technology to access online course material and collaboration tools. This means no more heavy textbooks – just one device for secure and continuous access to e-learning applications and resources.*

*Not all programmes will use Bring Your Own Device learning. You will be told on application whether or not you will need a device. Advice on how to finance a device will be available later in the year, and we are investigating options for leasing devices.

Building the future of Manukau.

The Manukau Campus will be integrated with Auckland Transport’s major new initiative, the Manukau Transportation Interchange. This transport hub brings you right to MIT's front doorstep.

The Manukau Campus is not only in Manukau but for Manukau. We’re placing education at the centre of your community, bringing with it social and economic benefits.

Designed by architects Warren and Mahoney, the building's focus is the campus heart – a six-storey central atrium and the gateway to MIT.

Individually designed classroom spaces meet the needs of all kinds of learning. And you’ll have plenty of choice for studying in groups or by yourself, or just for catching up with classmates. The Manukau Campus also features a dedicated library and a 250-seat performing arts and lecture theatre.

Our building has not only the best and latest in technology, but a healthy and efficient Green-Star rated environment. Specially commissioned artworks throughout the campus will reflect the stories and people of Manukau.

Cultural heritage.

The Manukau Campus is partly built on the ancient pa of the Te Waiohua peoples, who have a rich and significant ancestral relationship with the wider region. The pa was in turn built on the lava fields of Matukutureia and Matukuturua, part of the Tamaki Makaurau volcanic field. This field is of major spiritual and cultural significance to the hapu associated with Makaurau, Pukaki and Whatapaka Marae, along with the wider tribal grouping of Te Waiohua.

The Waiohua iwi of Tamaki Makaurau and Manukau have ancient ties with the Manukau Harbour and its environs, extending back nearly a thousand years. They have particular associations with the Hayman Park area which date back to the arrival of the Tainui waka in the fourteenth century.

Famous Tainui ancestors Rakataura and Poutukeka settled there and at other places around the shores of the upper Manukau Harbour, where many of their descendants remain today. Following the death of Ngati Pou leader Huakaiwaka, the iwi changed its name to Te Waiohua, and in time developed its own hapu of Te Akitai, Ngati Te Ata and Te Ahiwaru. These hapu have maintained ahi kaa roa (occupation) and ancestral associations with the Manukau region to the present day.

European settlement in Tamaki Makaurau in the 1800s saw the Crown purchase land on both sides of the Manukau Harbour crossing. Onehunga and Te Hopua a Rangi remained in European ownership with Mangere returned to Maori ownership by Governor Grey as a Maori militia settlement in 1849.

In 1865 the entire Mangere Maori land block was confiscated by the Crown and two years later 144 acres around Mangere Bridge were returned to Maori ownership and the kainga resettled by Te Waiohua and Ngati Mahuta.
