STUDY IN NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand is known to be a country that is exceptionally beautiful, healthy and family friendly. It is a first world country offering all the benefits that can be expected from a country that strives to advance itself in all aspects of society and economy.

New Zealand, although it is the same size as Japan or Great Britain, but there are a lot of reasons that you should consider going there for your studies abroad. Many people will call natives of the country “Kiwis,” after the bird that only resides there and nowhere else in the entire world. There are a number of reasons that you should consider studying in New Zealand.

High-quality educational system internationally recognised

This is the number one reason to go anywhere for school, but New Zealand is amazing for their education system. Tertiary education here is delivered by a wide range of providers including Universities, Institutes of Technology, Polytechnics, Private Training Establishments and Industry Training Organisations.

1. First, the tuition fee is some of the lowest in the world. You get a British-based education (due to their British influences) for a percentage of the cost.
2. The degrees are recognized around the world as being up-to-date and practical. You will get a high quality, hands-on education that you deserve.
3. New Zealand even goes so far as to check each and every course, program, and certificate for quality so that they can be recognized around the world as high-quality education through their participation in the Lisbon Recognition Convention and other intergovernmental agreements.
4. Not only that, but the support services for international students are among the best in the world. They have a lot of expertise and experience in helping international students so that they can succeed in their programs.
5. Teaching standards are high and with small class sizes, you will enjoy high levels of personal attention.
6. In New Zealand universities, courses are delivered by respected teaching and research staff, even at the first-year level.
7. The high quality teaching New Zealand is known for will make you even more attractive to employers and open up exciting postgraduate opportunities.

New Zealand Qualifications Authority International comparison

It all means that – along with the people you will meet, the places you will see and the things you will do in New Zealand – you can be confident you will get an education that will set you up for the future you dream of. International comparisons confirm you can have confidence in the quality of New Zealand’s tertiary education. All eight of NZ Universities are in the 2013/2014 QS World Top 500 rankings. On individual subjects, the QS rankings also placed New Zealand universities amongst the world’s top 50 for teaching accounting and finance, computer science, civil engineering, economics, medicine, agriculture and forestry, and 10 other important subjects.

Welcomed by employers – a smart move in your career

A New Zealand qualification can be a valuable asset, enhancing your career prospects both here and internationally. Employers around the world respect New Zealand’s education system for its ability to balance academic achievements with skills, producing creative, flexible thinkers who are competent at both practical and theoretical levels. New Zealand is also part of the Lisbon Recognition Convention which means that their certificates, diplomas, and degrees have international recognition.

Life Experiences

Studying in New Zealand will open your eyes and expand your horizons. And wherever you choose to study, you’ll never be far from a beach, some native bush or some wide open spaces. You’ll experience a unique and diverse blend of European and Māori traditions mixed with influences from Polynesia, Asia and elsewhere. You’ll be able to pick from a range of lifestyles and study in well-equipped but convenient campuses. So many international students in one place aren’t just proof of New Zealand’s popularity – it also means great opportunities for making connections with peers from around the world.

Work opportunities while studying

There are plenty of work opportunities available for international students. On a student visa, you are allowed to work up to 20 hours a week through the semester; during vacations, you can work up to 40 hours. So, instead of having to worry about finances, you get to supplement your education with income. You may even be able to get internships and other practical work. The international student office at your university can help you find a job to sustain you during your time in New Zealand. Another great thing is that you can get a permit at the end of your degree program and work for 12 months in the country under a special “work permit” that is alongside your student visa, which is what we’ll look at closer in the last point.

After you graduate

Once you’ve finished your study, you may want to stay on and work in New Zealand for a while to gain work experience. You may even consider staying in New Zealand permanently. There are pathways that make it easier for you to stay, if you meet certain conditions.

New Zealand’s immigration policies include a post-study work pathway for international students who have completed a New Zealand qualification. This lets you find a job and get work experience in a field directly related to your studies, and makes it easier to apply for residence.
