Why study in New Zealand?
New Zealand is a friendly and attractive country with a high quality of life. New Zealand offers a beautiful, safe, clean green environment with friendly people. We offer excellent value for money, with favourable tuition fees and living expenses when compared with other English-speaking destinations.
We believe that safety and wellbeing and care of students are paramount. New Zealand was the first country to adopt a robust Code of Practice for the care of international students, which sets standards in and out of the classroom.
New Zealand qualifications are internationally respected and recognised around the world. NCEA is New Zealand's national qualification. It is well-regarded by employers and used by Universities both in New Zealand and in other countries. Our teaching style offers practical, hands-on learning with an emphasis on asking questions and thinking critically. Studying in New Zealand is an opportunity for personal growth and development while gaining an education that will prepare you for a successful career anywhere in the world.
