Opiniones de Unitec Institute of Technology

UNITEC began as Carrington Technical Institute in 1976 in response to the increasing demand in the Auckland area for vocational tertiary education. Established on farm land west of Auckland city centre, it focused on programmes in building and business. In the years that followed, the institute grew rapidly and expanded the range of courses offered. In 1985, the institute was renamed Carrington Polytechnic and was recognised as a progressive multi-disciplinary tertiary institute.
By 1993, six degrees were offered alongside an extensive range of diplomas and certificates. The publication Vision for a Decade confirmed a new strategic direction for the institute and a new name was chosen to reflect its unique combination of university and polytechnic education. In February 1994, Carrington Polytechnic became UNITEC Institute of Technology. Over recent years UNITEC has strengthened its position of excellence in tertiary education.
