Welcome to the Southern Institute of Technology, one of New Zealand’s largest Government Institutes of Technology.
SIT is here to help you achieve your academic and career goals. By choosing SIT, you will get the best of both worlds. Not only will you gain a challenging academic education, you will also gain real-world experience thanks to our strong links with industry and employers.
We combine the best of tradition with cutting-edge technology. With a history dating back to the 1880s, SIT has a proud record of quality education and training. We have also gained a reputation for innovation, developing New Zealand-leading qualifications, facilities and opportunities for students.
With over 13,000 students and more than 200 programmes, SIT is large enough to offer you variety and a student culture, yet small enough to retain a friendly atmosphere and personalised learning with small class sizes.
Combined with your dedication, we will help you achieve your academic and career goals – whatever they may be.
I hope to see you on campus soon!
