Open Day 2026
Explore programmes, meet tutors, try hands-on activities and discover where your next step could take you.
Open Day is for the whole community. Bring your whānau, invite your friends and enjoy a relaxed day exploring NMIT together.
There’s plenty of parking and lots to keep the kids entertained, including a bouncy castle, Mr Whippy ice cream and interactive activities. They can climb aboard a fire truck, check out an Iroquois helicopter and explore some of the surprising spaces around campus.
NMIT is part of the Te Tauihu community, so you don’t need to be planning your studies to come along and enjoy the day.
Head to the Library for everything you need to plan your Open Day.
Whether you’re leaving school, changing career or building new skills, Open Day is your chance to ask questions and explore your options.
Find programme information, academic teams, learner support services and industry partners all in one place in the Library to help you plan your day.
