History

The University of Auckland was formally opened on 23 May 1883 as Auckland University College. The roll increased slowly but steadily during the remainder of the 19th century; by 1901 it had risen to 156 students and slowly the number increased to hundreds & thousands of students.

The 1950s were a difficult period in the history of The University of Auckland, the roll had soared after World War II, reaching 4000 by 1959, and buildings were inadequate and overcrowded. The University undertook a massive building programme, and over the next two decades the campus was transformed as one large building after another was erected. By the end of the 1960s The University of Auckland had the largest university library in New Zealand. The academic boom of the sixties continued well into the seventies, and by 1970 there were 9300 students, by 1986, the roll had climbed to 13,000.

Today, The University of Auckland is the largest university in New Zealand, hosting over 40,000 students on five Auckland campuses, with a School of Theology, and eight faculties representing each of its main disciplines: Arts, Business and Economics, Creative Arts and Industries, Education, Engineering, Law, Medical and Health Sciences, and Science.
