INTRODUCTION

New Zealand is fast becoming a first choice of international students who wish to get quality education at affordable cost. Here we outline some of the main reasons why international student population in New Zealand has grown tremendously in recent years.

 

Broad opportunities for study and research
The eight institutions that make up the university system in New Zealand are located across the two main islands, the North and the South. This distribution gives students a chance to pursue opportunities in study and culture. Although all the universities offer degrees in the arts, business, science, each college also has its own niche and distinct courses to offer.

 

Quality learning experience

New Zealand university system is research-based as it is based on the British education model. This means there are a lot of similarities between the two systems, such as the teaching methods. The fact Nepal also follows British education system makes it easier for Neplese students to adjust. The academic staff is expected to be researchers as well as teachers. This ensures a high quality learning experience. New Zealand Vice-Chancellors’ Committee, the universities’ representative body, has legal responsibility for course approval and moderation.

Easy entry requirements

Unlike many other countries, New Zealand universities do not have a lot of competition to get admitted for a university degree. That is because the New Zealand government has invested heavily in higher education over the years. Because of that New Zealand universities have more capacity than the number of students. Students with moderate grades can get entry to most Bachelor degree programs easily. Hence the entry requirements are minimal compared to most of the top universities in the world.

A great destination

International students are welcomed warmly in New Zealand society for the cultural diversity they bring and their contribution to the economy. New Zealander citizens are well travelled and are interested in people from other cultures, so international students feel more welcome. Campuses have students from all across the globe studying together. Students come from Europe, South East Asia, UK, Asia, among many others.

New Zealand, a developed country, offers highly qualitative education in a friendly environment that is welcoming towards international students. As per New Zealand Immigration Policy, the international students should show adequate funds to study in New Zealand. This is to make sure that student has sound financial resources to undertake study overseas. The senior secondary students can apply for two year or three year diploma or degree courses while graduate international students can opt for Level 7, 8 study programs. Let us understand in detail about the financial requirements that are to be fulfilled by the international students.
