Early History
The University of Auckland started out as a constituent of the
University of New ZealandThe University of New Zealand was the New Zealand university from 1870 to 1961. It was the sole New Zealand university, having a federal structure embracing several constituent colleges at various locations around New Zealand...
, founded as Auckland University College, in 1883 on the 23rd of May. Housed in a disused courthouse and jail it started out with only 95 students and 4 teaching staff, but by 1901 this had risen to 156 students. Most of the students were training towards being law clerks or teachers and were enrolled only part-time. Although from 1905 onwards an increasing number of students enrolled in commerce studies.
However the University conducted little research until the 1930s, due to a spike in interest in academic research during the depression of the early 30's. During this time the college's executive council issued in several resolutions in favour of academic freedom after the controversial dismissal of J. C. Beaglehole, allegedly for a letter to a newspaper where he publicly defended the right of communists to distribute their literature, which helped encourage the college's growth.
Soon after, in 1934, four new professors joined the college; Arthur Sewell (English), H.G Forder (Mathematics), C. G. Cooper (Classics) and James Rutherford (History). The combination of new talent, and academic freedom, saw Auckland University College flourish through to the 1950s.

Admission
Since eliminating open entry in 2009 all applicants must have a university entrance qualification. Domestic students are required to achieve the NZQA University Entrance Standard while international students must achieve an equivalent approved qualification in their country, a full list of what is an approved equivalent university entrance qualification for most countries is available from the University of Auckland's
international student admission page. Admission into the University of Auckland also requires applicants to meet the preset academic and English language entry requirements specific to the degree they are applying for - which are generally higher than the requirements to meet university entrance, meaning just achieving a university entrance qualification is not generally adequate to gain admission; a greater level of academic performance must be shown. Some programs also have a preset number of places available within the degree, so students must compete to gain entry and achieving the entry requirements may not be enough to gain admission in some cases.
All students who did not complete their high school education or equivalent in English are also required to provide a valid IELTS score (minimum of 6.0) or equivalent.
Accommodation
The University provides a range of accommodation options for students. Several hundred live in Residential Halls which provide food, accommodation, social and welfare services. Some of the Halls have developed a strong institutional personality over the years. This becomes self-perpetuating as applicants choose the Hall most suited to their own personality.
