Studying in New Zealand

New Zealand is a country where students can live and study in a safe and beautiful destination. New Zealand's famous natural beauty and the relaxed lifestyle and the friendly New Zealand people, are the reason why international students continue to rank New Zealand as their ideal study abroad destination.

Whilst New Zealand is a small and distant destination, it is a unique country in which to study and gain a qualification. While similar in size to the United Kingdom, Japan or California, New Zealand, with its North and South islands, only has a population of 3.8 million, so it's easy to get away from the crowds. Even in the larger cities and towns you can find open rolling green farmland and sun-soaked golden beaches with blue oceans, safe harbours or majestic snow-covered mountains, glacial valleys, and forests of ancient native trees and giant ferns very close at hand.

Study, live and work in one of the worlds' least crowded countries! Nothing can prepare you for the beauty of New Zealand, as it is distinctive and different from everything you will know.

The New Zealand climate is temperate and almost sub-tropical, with mild, wet winters and warm, dry summers, conducive to study, sightseeing and recreation.
If you want to study in New Zealand, at school or tertiary level, you may need a study visa or permit. Frequently Asked Questions
