Why
New Zealand for Education?
New
Zealand has an international reputation as a provider of
quality education. It offers a safe learning environment
with excellent study opportunities and support services
for international students. Courses are available for
academic, professional and vocational studies at
universities, polytechnics, colleges of education,
secondary schools and private training establishments.
Many international students enrol at secondary schools
for senior studies in Years 11–13, aged 15–18 years
in preparation for tertiary studies in New Zealand or in
other English-speaking countries. New Zealand secondary
schools provide a sound education to students aged 13-18
years. Some schools have classes for students aged 11
and 12 as well. Most secondary schools are
government-established but there are also a number of
other schools that have special philosophical or
religious traditions. These schools are either private
or integrated schools. Integrated schools were privately
funded in the past, but are now government funded.
The entry requirements, courses and educational
standards of all secondary schools are similar and
prepare students for the same national qualifications.
As an alternative to completing studies in a college or
high school, some international students select one of
the foundation programmes that are offered around New
Zealand to directly prepare students for university
study.
 Twenty-four
institutions in New Zealand are part of the polytechnic
and institute of technology system and provide education
and training in a wide range of industry and occupation
based vocational studies. Many of these institutions
offer academic and vocational degree programmes as well.
Specialised training for teachers is available at
colleges of education, which provide studies in
early-childhood, primary and secondary education.
Additional university studies may be undertaken as part
of these courses. All colleges offer specialist courses
for trained teachers.
New Zealand has eight national universities offering
degree programmes in academic and professional studies.
All universities offer a broad range of subjects for
degrees in commerce, science and the arts. Each
university has also developed its own specialist
subjects, such as engineering, computer studies,
medicine and agriculture.
There are many private training establishments in New
Zealand providing a wide range of tertiary and
vocational courses. Short-term English language courses
use modern teaching methods, including laboratory work
and conversational classes. Many polytechnics,
institutes of technology and universities also offer
English language training. Students are advised to enrol
in courses approved by the New Zealand Qualifications
Authority for which the issuing of student visas have
been approved. These courses meet international
standards and are recognised world-wide.
