Why Study in New Zealand
New Zealand Beckons for a bright future
QUALIFICATIONS GLOBALLY RECOGNISED
NZ welcomes international students by providing high quality education - the british system. Students who have studies in New Zealand are fast earning the reputation of being innovative thinkers and are being addressed as “The New World Class” material. New Zealand has a progressive education system with state of the art facilities. Qualifications from here are internationally recognised and valued.
There are a wide range of opportunities available including state administered primary and secondary schools, universities, polytechnics, colleges of education and private training establishments. The NZQA assures the quality of programme offered by state institutions and private establishment, which in turn ensures that programmes offered in New Zealand, maintain international standards.
EQUALLY STRONG FOCUS ON ACADEMICS AND WELFARE
Most of the universities have been taking International students for the last 50 - 60 years and hence have gained a multicultural / national perspective offering a balanced curriculum which finds relevance in work places around the world. The same perspective enables it to offer excellent welfare services to students from around the world. The polytechnics in NZ are known for the programs which are "Read to Enter the Job Markets".
BEST OF BOTH WORLD" QUALIFICATIONS

In fact it is almost 50% less than that of USA and UK. Coupled with the lesser costs and International recognition of its courses, NZ essentially offers "Best of Both Worlds" qualifications. Kiwi Life : Even though the country might be small the people think big. The people popularly known as Kiwi's are renowned for their hospitality and their love for sports and the outdoors.
ENGLISH WIDELY SPOKEN
As English is the day-to-day language in NZ, Indian students find it very easy to study, live and interact in NZ. Moreover the NZ accent is easy to understand.
EXCELLENT CLIMATIC CONDITIONS
New Zealand enjoys temperate climate which is moderated by the seas surrounding it. This results in mild summers and cool winters. This excellent climate encourages all kind of outdoor sports and activities. One can indulge in sports as varied as football, cricket to white water rafting and bungee jumping. In fact it is a widely accepted fact that NZ enjoys one of the most favourable climates in the world. It enjoys four distinct seasons, viz; Summer (Nov. to March), Autumn (March to June), Winter (June to Sept.) & Spring (Sept. to Nov.) enabling people to enjoy superb living conditions.
CLEAN, GREEN AND SAFE COUNTRY
New Zealand offers a safe learning environment. It is the first country in the world to declare itself as a “nuclear free” zone. The environment is green, clean and unspoilt with a small population and wide open spaces.
CARING FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS
A code of practice that ensures protection of international students' welfare by all education providers came into force in 2002. Only signatories to the code will be allowed to enrol international students. Ensuring that New Zealand education providers act fairly and reasonably when recruiting students, the code gives prospective students the confidence that they can trust the institution in which they choose to enroll.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
To ensure that both the Government and individuals are investing in quality education, training and assessment, the Government has set up nationally recognised processes of quality assurance. There are a number of government appointed bodies responsible for approving qualifications in New Zealand and for maintaining the quality that determines the delivery of qualifications.
These bodies are:
New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA): responsible for approving and registering all courses and national qualifications offered at polytechnics and private training establishments.
New Zealand Vice-Chancellor's Committee (NZVCC): responsible for approving all diplomas, undergraduate and graduate programmes offered by universities in New Zealand.

Entry to postgraduate courses in New Zealand is highly competitive and based on academic merit. All New Zealand master degrees are built on their bachelor degrees, which are not general degrees like we have in India. These are focussed ones and have a research project in the final year. Therefore, entry is difficult and students from India would need first class honours degree for a direct entry to a master degree of two years.

This would enable Indian students to do a New Zealand Master degree in three years instead of two years normal time.
