Study in Universities in New Zealand
New Zealanders are well traveled and have a great interest
in people from other cultures, so visitors and international students soon feel
more than welcome. Campuses are very international with students from all
corners of the globe studying and socializing together.
New Zealand produces top graduates who can take their place
with confidence in the international arena in many disciplines. Sir Ernest
Rutherford, who first split the atom, and Dr Bryan Barrett-Boyes, prominent
international heart surgeon, are but two examples of the caliber of New Zealand
graduates.
There are eight government-funded universities providing
undergraduate and postgraduate degree programmes. Some also offer foundation
programmes. Whilst all offer a broad range of degree subjects, each university
has its own specialized courses.
The quality of a New Zealand university education is well
recognized internationally. Many New Zealand graduates have gone on to achieve
international recognition in their field. Many of the international students
from developing Asian nations, who have studied at New Zealand universities,
have since served as senior administrators, including cabinet ministers in
their own countries.
A popular option is to study at one of the 25
government-funded polytechnics and institutes of technology. They offer a wide
variety of programmes which can be both academically and vocationally focused.
You may choose from a short course teaching a specific skill, or from a wide
range of courses resulting in a certificate, a diploma or a degree.
Some institutions offer Year 1 of a degree programme, with
subsequent years being completed at a university.
Here are a growing
number of private tertiary and training providers offering an alternative study
option. They offer a range of programmes including professional certificates,
diplomas and degrees in a diverse range of subjects including art, the
hospitality industry, computer studies, secretarial studies, quality
management, ecotourism and others.
Usually universities and polytechnics offer student
accommodation on campus. Some students prefer to live off campus and will seek
advice from the student support services, provided by most tertiary institutes,
to help with arranging home stays or give advice on finding student flats.
It is generally recommended that international students
allow Rs.3,30,000 to Rs.3,70,000 per year for living and accommodation costs.
This includes accommodation, food, travel, textbooks and limited entertainment.
In summary work hard and play hard is the lifestyle choice
of many international students in New Zealand. If you are looking for
world-class education and training, and also want new experiences, fun, a
relaxed lifestyle and a safe and healthy environment, then you should consider
New Zealand as your study destination.
The Ministry of Education operates a Code of Practice for
the Pastoral Care of International Students (the Code). Academic standards are assured by NZQA and other agencies.
