Partner with AUT to access top ICT and engineering talent, share your passion and help shape the future of computing and engineering. AUT’s School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences is proud of its strong industry links, and always looking for new opportunities to partner with industry organisations.
Ready to engage with talented students?
Whether you have a final-year project idea, internship opportunities or want to build your brand on campus, share your details and let's explore how we can work together.
AUT is New Zealand's fastest growing university, with the second largest group of engineering and computer science graduates. Our 14 research centres and world-class facilities help students gain practical and theoretical skills; making us a leading choice for technical education in New Zealand.
By sponsoring a student project, and submitting a research and development project outline for our final-year students, you're supporting our emerging tech professionals.
This gives you access to fresh ideas and additional resources in the field of computing. You gain access to a pool of talented computing students for future job openings.
Student projects start in early March and early August each year.
Explore our engineering, computer and mathematical sciences final-year project showcases to get an insight into the range of recent projects undertaken by our talented students.
This series of 50-minute employer presentations on campus gives your organisation the opportunity to engage with keen students, share insights about your company and promote the opportunities your organisation has on offer.
You can be as creative as you wish! Light refreshments (including pizza or sushi), giveaways and post-session quiz sessions with prizes are all most welcome.
We can work with you to find a room during the semester to book your team in at a time that works best for you.
To secure your 2025 presentation slot, email Leanne Bint at leanne.bint@aut.ac.nz
This annual event enables you to meet ICT and engineering students and grow your talent pipeline.
