“My most memorable experiences at the University were attending networking and industry events. The University has shaped my personal and professional growth by building my network in the property industry, which is crucial for a career in the property sector.”

“I expected to learn the fundamentals of Property and the key drivers of the industry. I was surprised to learn how innovative the property industry is, continuously adapting to keep up with new market trends. My studies made me realise and appreciate that property is an integral part of every sector, whether in the form of Infrastructure, Investments, Accommodation, Developments, Mortgages and so on."

"All the courses I took at the University have provided me with a wide range of fundamental skills I use every day, both in my work and personal life.

"I came into the Tuākana programme in my first year at the University through attending workshops and exam preparation sessions. In my second year, I became a teaching assistant/tutor – hosting workshops and sessions, which I continued in my last year. The Tuākana programme was a key highlight of my time at the University. I was able to build my network, support fellow Māori and Pasifika students and further develop my skills and knowledge through teaching."
