Your experience as an MIT student: What’s staying the same
Manukau Institute of Technology and Unitec are two proud institutes, and we are now united in purpose. With 100 years of combined educational leadership in Tāmaki Makaurau, our two institutions have come together to form the largest independent training provider in Aotearoa.
While we are working closely together, nothing is changing for you as a student.
If you’re enrolled at a MIT campus, you remain studying at an MIT campus. If you’re enrolled at a Unitec campus, you remain studying at the same Unitec campus.
Why this matters for you
- You will continue receiving all student information from the institute you enrolled with — either MIT or Unitec.
- Your classrooms, lecturers and support teams will remain the same.
- Your certificate upon graduation will continue to have your institute’s familiar brand and name.
- You are a student of one institute only — this doesn’t change.
