RESEARCH INSTITUTES

AUT Research Institutes have been established and funded by the University to bring focus to research activity. The intention is to ensure that resources are concentrated into the areas where AUT has capability. The institutes are the key concentration of research activity, and other centres of research activity are also developing. The Institutes and centres also have an important training role for postgraduate students.
