TSA at The University of Auckland

The TSA programme at The University of Auckland is dedicated to helping students

improve both their English proficiency and their understanding of Language, Arts and

International Business.

The University of Auckland was established in 1883 and is New Zealand's leading

university, with about 40,000 students, of which 5,000 are international students. It is a

research-led University, and is recognised internationally. The University is located in

the heart of cosmopolitan Auckland, the countrys largest and most vibrant city, in

which students are never far from breathtaking scenery, beautiful beaches and

outdoor activities.

New Zealand is an excellent place to study international business given the dependence

of its economy on international trade and investment. New Zealands exports are

renowned in markets such as Japans while foreign investment and inbound tourism

play a major role in the New Zealand economy. Policymakers and academics, Japanese

included, give much attention to the New Zealand model. Study at the University of

Auckland also offers Waseda students a distinctive insight into Maori (Polynesian)

culture and those of Europeans settled in a remarkable new environment.

Waseda students will either spend one or two semesters studying at the University of

Auckland, which is New Zealands finest and offers Waseda students a unique

opportunity to study international business, arts and related fields. Students will enrol

in a full-time load of four courses (60 points) per semester in the Faculty of Business

and Faculty of Arts, which offers a broad range of diverse courses.

Students taking part in The University of Aucklands International Student Orientation

programme will be presented with information about living and studying at University

of Auckland, offered advice on strategies for getting the most out of University studies

and introduced students to the unique culture, beautiful landscape around Auckland

City and also to other international students.

Between semesters, students will have a three week study break during which they

may wish to explore New Zealand, either as part of an organised tour or more
