Looking to study in New Zealand?

New Zealand welcomes international students at all of its institutions. Students intending to study can be assured of achieving qualifications of a consistent quality and a standard comparable to qualifications achieved in leading educational institutions in other parts of the world.

The New Zealand Government has put in place strong national quality assurance systems designed to help institutions maintain the quality and consistency of training and assessment programmes. All courses, programmes and qualifications offered at state institutions must be approved by a quality assurance body.

Secondary study

Tertiary Study

New Zealand offers quality schooling at the secondary level. Typically, secondary study lasts five years and begins when students are 12 or 13 years old.

 

New Zealand has a large number of institutions that teach at the tertiary level. The term tertiary is used to describe all aspects of post-school education and training. They include not only universities, but also polytechnics and privately owned and run providers.
