The University has always strived to be a place that welcomes everyone, but with this new name came a greater responsibility to focus on inclusivity and innovation, to become known as the University that represents a future more switched on to social equality, compassion and empathy.
For Every World is a brand platform borne out of in-depth conversations with New Zealanders, prospective students, current UOA students, academics and alumni. It is an acknowledgment that the world is changing and that the University of Auckland is changing with it. There is no longer just one world, there are many worlds inhabited by different people. Physical worlds. Virtual worlds. Giant world’s that extend far beyond the solar system, and smaller worlds that are the heartbeat of local communities. The University of Auckland is uniquely placed to help you grow, explore, and nurture your world, maybe even discover a new one.
