About Eastern Institute of Technology
Eastern Institute of Technology (EIT / Te Aho a Māui) is one of New Zealand's premier institutes of technology and polytechnics (ITPs), serving the East Coast and metropolitan centers across New Zealand. Founded in 1975 as Hawke's Bay Community College, the institution became Hawke's Bay Polytechnic in 1987 before establishing its current identity and later merging with Tairāwhiti Polytechnic in Gisborne. Operating as a government-accredited Category 1 tertiary institution (MoE Code 6007), EIT is celebrated for its performance-based research excellence, regional industry integration, and national leadership in Viticulture and Wine Science (located in the heart of Hawke's Bay's wine country), Nursing and Health Sciences, Applied Computing and Information Technology, Creative Practice and Māori Arts (Toihoukura), and Business Management. EIT delivers qualifications spanning certificates to master's degrees across its picturesque 67-acre Hawke's Bay campus in Taradale, its riverside Tairāwhiti campus in Gisborne, its modern Auckland CBD postgraduate center, and regional learning hubs across the East Coast.
