Located in the heart of the largest Pacific population in New Zealand, Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) is committed to the current and future success of Pasifika students by playing a significant role in the development and advancement of our Pasifika communities.

MIT is home to nearly 6,000 Pasifika students and has had thousands of Pasifika graduates over the years.
