Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) (Māori: Te Whare Takiura o Manukau) is a large institute of technology in Auckland, New Zealand. It is located on two campuses in Otara, 30 minutes from central Auckland and 15 minutes from the central area of Manukau.

Campus

In addition to the main Manukau campus there are specialised campuses located throughout the city including locations at Newmarket, Auckland CBD, Highbrook Business Park, Pukekohe and Manukau CBD as well as community learning centres within the greater Auckland region.[4]

History

Manukau Institute of Technology was established in 1970 as Manukau Technical Institute.[5]

In 1999 The University of Auckland and Manukau Institute of Technology formed an alliance to provide students in the greater Manukau area with a wider range of high quality educational opportunities at degree level.[6]

In 2013 a teacher at the institute's School of Creative Writing, Eleanor Catton, won the Man Booker Prize for her novel The Luminaries.[7]
