Life at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute

Each student has an individual research project, supervised by a main supervisor and at least one other co-supervisor, often from a complementary field of expertise. Research programmes are overseen by an advisory committee. All students are members of at least one research group and have regular meetings with their supervisors and colleagues to discuss progress.

This forum showcases the ongoing work at ABI and is an opportunity for attendees to explore the diverse research at the Institute.

During their study, students will usually have the opportunity to attend international conferences. This is a good to chance to keep up to date with the developments in your field and grow your network.

Regular seminars with speakers both internal and external present on research topics that are open to staff and students. 

Our social committee organises a variety of sporting activities such as touch rugby, badminton, basketball and indoor football.

Students and staff also get together every Friday evening to unwind, and take part in other activities such as Christmas barbecues.
