A recent surge in the number of Indian students heading to New Zealand has made India the third-largest source of international students for the country, after China and South Korea.
In fact, whilst applications from traditional markets in the Far East have declined in the past year, the number of students applying from India to study in New Zealand has risen by 42%.
Education New Zealand has attributed the increased interest as proof that diversifying the market has had a positive impact, citing not just the rise in Indian applications but also the surge from other locations such as South America and the Middle East.
In the last two years the number of international students in New Zealand has risen by over 8000.
The rise in Indian applicants has also been encouraged by Immigration New Zealand, who recently amended their application processes to reduce the visa application period from as much as five months down to just 22 days.
With the number of young Indian people under the age of 25 now at the 500 million mark, the market for Indian students is vast, and New Zealand are eager to see numbers rising.
Education New Zealand chief executive Robert Stevens said: “New Zealand is seen as a safe, welcoming country by most Indian students and we enjoy a good reputation in India for the quality of our institutions.”

what are the courses on which indian students like to study in new zealand
Hi Kunal, thanks for your comment.
The New Zealand Ministry of Education does not seem to publish data relating to individual nationalities, but the statistics for all international students in New Zealand in 2008 shows that Natural and Physical Sciences, Information Technology, Engineering and Related Technologies, and Architecture and Building were amongst the most popular subject areas.
You can find other statistical data on the EducationCounts website.

This is great news and a great opportunity for Indian to be their best and show to the world their worth… I always though of education as an equal opportunity for everyone what ever your race and where ever you came from. International education gave so much opportunity to students and the accomplishment is so amazing.
