copied from Auckland University page bfore it was made into a redirect:
New Zealand's largest university, The University of Auckland was established in 1883, and serves New Zealand's primate city - Auckland. The University is situated in the heart of the cosmopolitan city of Auckland and provides for 33,500 students.
The University's comprehensive range of research-based study programmes is internationally recognised, and attracts postgraduate and undergraduate students from all over the world. Graduates of the University of Auckland occupy leading positions in business, law, medicine, politics and the professions within New Zealand and overseas. Currently 4,800 international students from more than 100 different countries have chosen to study at Auckland. Their different perspectives and cultures enrich the entire University community.
Teaching and research is conducted in seven Faculties on three campuses. These include Architecture, Property, Planning and Fine Arts, Arts, Business and Economics, Engineering, Law, Medical and Health Sciences, and Science. In addition there are more than 30 interdisciplinary research clusters in the University ranging from small units to large institutes which conduct research in emerging fields that cross knowledge boundaries.
The University enjoys international status as the only New Zealand university invited to join Universitas 21 and the Association of Pacific Rim Universities. Membership of both groups is by invitation and limited to research-led institutions of international reputation across a broad spectrum of disciplines.
This article is already in Category:Universities and colleges in New Zealand, which has as a parent Category:New Zealand education, which has as a parent Category:New Zealand and which I've just given as a parent Category:Education by nationality. It seems unnecessary to me to have this article in Category:New Zealand and Category:Education directly. If no one objects, I'll remove these two categories from the article.- gadfium 20:22, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

What happens if someone enrolled for a PhD degree cannot continue their work due to financial reasons in their final year? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 120.136.5.139 ( talk) 08:37, 25 February 2016 (UTC)
Someone put question marks after the statement in the introduction that UoA has 1200 doctoral students. See this pdf file, which at the top of page 3 says The overall response rate to the survey was 42.4% (552 respondents). The survey was taken in 2004.- gadfium 03:27, 6 January 2006 (UTC)
Hi, I am proposing to merge Department of Political Studies (Auckland, New Zealand) into this article. Why? Because the department itself is not notable, and much of the text is copied from the department's website. Very few university departments have their own wikipage, including many far more notable ones. (I was considering WP:AfD, but some of the info could be used here).
supporting the merger: I don't know why the POLS department at Auckland can't get a paragraph under the university's entry, but I would really doubt the veracity of any claim that says it's worth a whole page of its own. And I think that the VUW pols department is more notable than Auckland's at any rate, so maybe we should give them a page. Oh, and then the other 25 schools at Vic, and then all the schools at all the universities in New Zealand. Or, Oceania. Or the world. After all, maybe buried somewhere deep down in Wikipedia's raison d'etre is the idea that Wikipedia should make corporate websites (like A. Uni's) redundant. Kripto 22:47, 22 January 2007 (UTC)

One editor has been removing the information that the University came second in the 2006 PBRF rankings, after having come first in the 2003 ranking. They added instead that the University came first in three key measures. I think it is reasonable to include both pieces of information. The Performance Based Research Fund article gives only the overall quality scores, but other University articles mention particular areas of strength for that University in the results. Any comments?- gadfium 06:12, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
I have updated the page with a purely factual entry which I hope compromises sufficiently. I have removed references to Otago from the Auckland pages as there are no references to Auckland on Otago I feel this is only fair. In reply to your point about Auckland's size, please note that the results for the insitution were disproprtionate to its size. Bluekiwi 20:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed that people have started changing the PBRF wording again - I thought it was agreed to leave as 16 May edition? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Bluekiwi ( talk • contribs).
Note: University of Auckland is no longer considered the number one university as of 2007, this needs to be changed.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 124.197.39.92 ( talk • contribs).

The people who are listed as having studied there - should be a table instead, listing when and what. But I do not know enough to make a good start... MadMaxDog 09:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
I see there is a history being published for the 125th Jubilee. There is some possibly useful retrospectives on the website at the moment which might also give useful references for this article. See http://www.auckland.ac.nz/uoa/about/uoa/history/125jubilee/retrospectives/retrospectives.cfm for a list. Ka ro ra 23:52, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
The article Cecil (LMS) has been prodded, and may not survive that process or an AfD nomination. I suggest we merge the lede section of that article (3 paragraphs, and perhaps also the "System features" section - together, these include all the references) as a section of this article. Cecil may or may not be notable as a stand-alone article, but it certainly is a significant part of the learning environment at the University.- gadfium 06:05, 23 July 2008 (UTC)
Hopefully no disagreement about his worth on that list! Jaycobdee ( talk) 11:52, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
Can the amount listed be verified? NZ$ 1.996 Billion seems a little high to me (given Harvard "only" has ~US$ 27 Billion!) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.237.95.228 ( talk) 08:02, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
I have removed an uncited and unlikely statement: "The vast majority of first year ('fresher') students at the University of Auckland remain living at home". Many students are international students, and many more come from well outside Auckland. Even those that do have 'homes' to stay in may not choose to do so. I would be surprised if the above was true, but it's not sourced anyway. Richard001 ( talk) 02:01, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
