International student support services

Studying in a new country is an exciting and challenging time. To ensure you are well supported from the moment you enrol through to completing your studies, Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) has a dedicated International support team in place to help you to adjust and make the most of your experience.

The International Support team is the first point of contact for all international students regarding enrolment and study-support related matters both on and off-campus. The team also handles enquiries from prospective international students.

Services we offer and can assist with include:

The support team has a 24-hour emergency line for all international students enrolled at Manukau Institute of Technology. The emergency freephone contact number is 0800 648 2273.


International student Orientation

All students at Manukau Institute of Technology are required to attend International Orientation during their first semester.

Students can meet our support staff during Orientation. Orientation takes place at the beginning of each semester, one week before your study begins.


Pastoral care for international students
