Study Tours

The Public Programmes department works alongside University of Auckland Academic staff to provide a diverse range of educational overseas tours. Our tours are led by accomplished University scholars who enrich your experience by sharing their knowledge and expertise throughout the tour.

Focusing on themes relevant to the location being visited, our Study Tours are open to people of all ages who are enthusiastic about joining like-minded travellers in the quest to explore unique destinations.

Join us as we take learning outside the classroom!

We do not have any planned Study Tours at this time.
