History

The university was established as part of setting up the federal University Association of New Zealand and took her teaching in 1883 with 95 students and four recruited from Oxford and Cambridge professors of chemistry, mathematics, science and classical studies. In 1901 there were 156 students who were trained mainly in part-time work in the field of law. Until the 1930s has been little research at the University of Auckland. The school got 1934 four additional chairs and this additional capacity has led to institutional growth, both in teaching and in research-based area. The University Group of the University of New Zealand in 1961 resolved in favor of since existing university landscape and the University of Auckland, it became a distinct institution.
