“Studying Engineering at AUT was one of the best decisions
I’ve made. The programme is focussed on the application of
theory and is far more practical compared to other
universities. Also, the culture within AUT is great with lots of
student clubs to cater for a variety of hobbies and interests
and it is a great way to meet new people. AUT really sets
their students up for success by making work experience a
requirement for course completion. For me, it was a great
way to understand how Engineering is practiced in the “real
world” and also gave me an opportunity to experience
different industries and meet potential future employers.
Living in New Zealand is great. Not only are people warm
and welcoming but the country itself is stunning, with so
much natural beauty. There is so much to explore within
New Zealand and there are activities to cater for people with
a variety of interests, from adrenaline junkies to people who
enjoy taking a stroll on the beach, New Zealand has it all.”

“I always wanted to learn about plants and agriculture. So, I
decided to combine my passion for studying plant science
with hands-on experience in making wine from grapes.
Now, I'm in New Zealand, cherishing every moment. I
completed my degree at Lincoln University and now work
at one of the country's most established wineries.
Lincoln University is the best for agriculture in New
Zealand. They offer a variety of courses and even have their
own farms and vineyards. I had the best lecturers who
possess extensive experience in their fields. There's
nothing I didn't enjoy. From lectures to labs, my favourite
parts were the field trips and tours that connected students
with the industry. The vintage semester, which included
practical work, helped me understand how the industry
operates and how to find a relevant job. This unique study
structure allowed us to gain practical knowledge from
commercial vineyards and apply it in practice.”

architecture I am interested in the way buildings are
built, and projects accomplished with a sensitivity that
architecture and planning brings to these
developments.
It is during my practice as an architect and
entrepreneur that I realised the power and influence the
industry has. Architects are nuclei of projects in most
cases. This is when I decided to be a stronger nucleus
who can manage projects well.
Auckland is a growing city and I feel lucky to be a part of
