Study in New Zealand

Small system, consistent quality

New Zealand has eight universities and all of them are state-funded and internationally ranked, so there is no weak end of the market to navigate. Class sizes are smaller than in the larger destinations, and access to teaching staff is correspondingly better.

Why New Zealand

Every university is a good one

With only eight, all state-funded and all internationally ranked, choosing between them is about fit rather than about avoiding a poor institution.

Smaller cohorts

Teaching groups are smaller than at the large Australian, UK and US institutions, which shows in supervision and contact time.

Post-study work

Graduates of eligible qualifications can apply for a Post Study Work Visa and remain to work.

Courses and intakes

Bachelor's, postgraduate diplomas, master's and PhD.

February is the main intake and July the second. Some programmes admit only in February.

Fee Paying Student Visa

You apply with your offer of place and evidence of funds for living costs.
A chest X-ray certificate is required, and a full medical for longer courses.
Police clearance certificates are required for longer stays.
Medical and travel insurance is a condition of the visa, not an optional extra.

Requirements and entitlements are set by each country's government and change from time to time. We confirm the current position for your intake before you apply.
