University of Auckland – Tauranga Future Student Evening
Future Student Evenings are an opportunity for whānau, parents, caregivers and students to hear about what the University of Auckland has to offer. You want the best for your family member. You want them to earn a quality degree that will help equip them for the paths they choose to take.
But you also want to know that during their time at University they are happy, safe, supported, and that they are making the most of the opportunities presented to them.
The University of Auckland Future Student Evening on 2 August was designed to answer the questions you may have as a parent or guardian, so you can help them make an informed choice – a choice that will help set them up for life.

Benee
Formidable indie-pop sensation and rising global superstar BENEE announced a nationwide regional tour for August. BENEE will visit every corner of the country, hitting eight different towns and cities throughout the month.

Worldwide streams in the billions have made her one of the most exciting new acts to have emerged anywhere.

Throughout August, she will bring her trademark infectious energy to crowds across Aotearoa to get people up on their feet for a groove-worthy night.
BENEE will perform eight headline shows across the country, visiting New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Porirua, Invercargill, Nelson, Tauranga, Napier and Hamilton.
