Southern Institute of Technology:
Southern Institute of Technology has a proud history of vocational education and training. Established as Southland Polytechnic over 30 years ago and more recently known as Southern Institute of Technology, we provide students with quality education across a range of subject areas and at a variety of levels. By offering programmes from certificate and diploma to bachelor's degree and post graduate level you can enter your training at the level that suits you and progress as you are ready. With around 9,000 students, SIT is big enough to offer variety and a student culture, yet small enough to retain a friendly atmosphere.
