About Eastern Institute of Technology
Founded in 1975, the Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT) is one of New Zealand's top-rated polytechnics. Located in the North-Island, EIT is a major provider of higher education on the east coast, offering more than 130 qualifications from certificate and diploma to degree and postgraduate level. These programmes cover a wide variety of subject areas, including business, computing, health science, wine science and viticulture.
At EIT, students can benefit from public service opportunities to gain practical experience as well as from the significantly lower student-lecturer ratio, which will encourage higher student involvement in class. EIT's academic programmes are also underpinned by the research activities of lecturers who are respected academics and industry professionals, giving students direct exposure to their relevant industries. Such exposure will help students develop relevant work skills and get useful industry contacts to prepare them for the workforce - even as they are studying.
