A world class education

The QS World University Rankings include every university in New Zealand. Every. Single. Person. One of them, at least. New Zealand has invested heavily in its education system in recent years, adopting a system that is close to but not identical to that of the United Kingdom, and it has already begun to pay off.

The University of Auckland is in the QS world top 100, Victoria University of Wellington is among the top 1% of universities worldwide in 19 subject areas, and the University of Waikato in Hamilton is ranked 72nd globally and first in New Zealand for research impact and quality.

Lower tuition fees & lots of scholarships

While New Zealand's education system is significantly influenced by that of the United Kingdom, it is less expensive. A year's worth of tuition costs roughly NZ$20,000, or just under £10,000. That should leave you with a little extra cash to enjoy!

Aside from the decreased tuition expenses, there are other scholarship opportunities to help pay for your study. To locate one to which you could apply, you'll need to do some digging and investigating, but we recommend starting by looking at the websites of whichever university you're interested in going to. Or, better yet, simply ask them in an email.

A fantastic culture

New Zealand has a diverse cultural legacy, bridging the gap between British-influenced Western customs and the indigenous Mori people's traditional culture, which includes their own language and mythology. Mori culture is frequently depicted in arts, crafts, and cookery in New Zealand today.

Excellent value for money

A New Zealand education provides all of the benefits and quality of a British or Australian education without the high costs of living in those countries. A social science or art degree will cost around NZ$20,000 (£9,680) per year, while a scientific or engineering degree will cost around NZ$25,000 (£12,000). In comparison to several other major countries, New Zealand's living expenditures are very low, with the average student needing NZ$15,000 (£7,260) per year for housing, food, utilities, and transportation.
