EIT Hawke’s Bay is one of New Zealand’s most attractive campuses that is surrounded by magnificent landscapes and astounding architecture, which provides an excellent learning environment for the students. EIT Tairāwhiti’s two campuses are located in the heart of Gisborne, near the Taruheru River, and you can’t get more central than EIT Auckland’s location on Queen Street!

Apart from this, it operates several learning centers across the city where educational programs are taught. The campus features well-maintained buildings, pathways, parking areas, recreational and green spaces. The institution offers excellent academic facilities and services to support effective learning and teaching, which include smart classrooms, lecture halls, high-tech laboratories, and practical rooms.

Students can access free Wi-Fi at any corner of the campus. EIT provides housing facilities for the students in the Student Village, which is located just on the opposite side of Hawke's Bay campus. In Auckland, the institution offers accommodation in apartment complexes.

EIT offers over 130 academic programs across diverse disciplines at undergraduate and postgraduate levels. It extends degrees in agriculture, grape-growing, winemaking, computing, art and design, business, fashion, hospitality, music, health sciences, nursing, social sciences, and creative studies. 

The institution also offers short courses, certificate and diploma programs across various disciplines. At present, more than 10,222 students from over 40 countries of the world are pursuing their degrees from EIT. They are taught by highly knowledgeable and skilled affiliates, including 340 full-time faculty members.

Accommodation options include homestay with a New Zealand family or flatting at the Student Village right across the road from EIT’s Hawke’s Bay Campus.

The Student Village (SV) is a self-catering complex of 12 villas housing six students in each.  Both New Zealand and international students live together (mixed gender), and although each student has their own furnished bedroom, students share lounge, kitchen and bathroom facilities in each villa.  The SV is a multi-cultural communal environment better suited to more independent students.  It is a great environment to meet other students, study and relax together. 

The SV is located on campus and is next to the Sports Centre and bus stop.  There are regular office hours, but as the Managers live on site, there are 24-hour support arrangements for resident students. It includes:

1. Single furnished bedroom
2. Furnished kitchen and lounge
3. Electricity
4. Internet
