WHY NEW ZEALAND?

New Zealand offers beautiful natural environments and wildlife, along with a good quality of life and an interesting, diverse culture.

Quality of life

New Zealand frequently tops polls of ideal places to live, largely due to the many lifestyle benefits that it offers. The country has a population of fewer than five million and a very low crime rate. The weather is consistently mild and working hours are favourable, all helping to make New Zealand a very desirable place to live. All of these qualities are also what makes it such an appealing place to study.

Natural beauty

New Zealand film director Sir Peter Jackson insisted on filming his Lord of the Rings trilogy in his home country and it proved to be a masterstroke. The country’s scenery was an integral part of the film’s success and its beauty is perhaps what New Zealand is best known for around the world. As well as the landscape, New Zealand’s distance from other land masses has led to the development of some of the most truly unique wildlife on the planet.

Culture

The Māori people arrived in New Zealand nearly 500 years before the European settlers and still maintain a strong and fascinating cultural identity. New Zealand is also known by the name Aotearoa, which translates as 'land of the long white cloud' in the Māori language, one of the official languages of New Zealand. New Zealand is also a very successful sporting nation, performing very well in many sports including rugby, cricket and netball.

Growing destination

New Zealand is an increasingly popular destination with international students, with the government encouraging students to the country. Many students from Europe, North and South America, China and India are choosing New Zealand because of the benefits on offer. This has created a diverse and global study community in New Zealand’s educational establishments.

State-of-the-art facilities

New Zealand’s institutions offer cutting edge facilities, with many institutions leading the way with new technological developments. As well as offering traditional courses in the arts, science, engineering and medical sciences, New Zealand specialises in vocational or polytechnic courses that vastly increase the opportunity for employment after graduation.
