Did you know all of New Zealand’s eight universities are consistently ranked among the top 3% of universities worldwide? This reflects the high quality of education you are assured of as an international student. New Zealand’s education system is heavily influenced by that of the UK, which involves a strong focus on research-based teaching across multiple disciplines. This also makes New Zealand the #1 choice for international PhD students, who can pay the same domestic tuition fee and work full-time during their studies while enjoying the vast amount of cutting-edge research opportunities on offer.

New Zealand is currently ranked as the second safest country in the world. The country also has so much to offer in terms of its multicultural environment, outdoor lifestyle, and its beautiful natural landscapes comprising green hills, lush rainforests, golden beaches, and snowcapped mountains..

International students are allowed to work up to 20 hours per week during the semester and full-time during semester breaks. Especially at the Postgraduate or PhD level, you will be allowed to work full-time.
