The Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT), now part of Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology, does not feature in major global university rankings like QS or THE. These rankings typically focus on research-intensive universities, while MIT specializes in vocational and applied education.
However, MIT is highly regarded in New Zealand for its industry-aligned programs, particularly in trades, health, and technology. As part of Te Pūkenga, it contributes to a unified vocational education network. Prospective students should evaluate MIT based on program relevance, employability outcomes, and regional reputation rather than global rankings.
