About the University of Auckland and Scholarship

The University of Auckland, with its origins as Auckland University College, was established on May 23, 1883, as a constituent college of the University of New Zealand. Its early development was overseen by John Chapman Andrew, the Vice Chancellor of the University of New Zealand from 1885 to 1903. The university began in a repurposed courthouse and jail, with an initial cohort of 95 students and four teaching staff members, including experts in chemistry, natural sciences, classics, and mathematics.

Over the years, the University of Auckland experienced growth, reaching 156 students by 1901, with an increasing focus on law clerks and teachers enrolling part-time. Starting in 1905, a rising number of students pursued commerce studies, marking a shift in enrollment trends.
