This is a list of the universities in New Zealand, of which there are eight. As of 2024, all universities are public. All of the universities, with the exception of AUT, are descended from the former University of New Zealand, a collegiate university that existed from 1870 to 1961. In 2021, universities provided tertiary education to over 182,900 students or 142,720 equivalent full-time students (EFTS).^[1]
