• Summer plans: what students need to know

  Under current border settings, tertiary-level international students will need to make careful and informed decisions about their plans for the summer period.

  Any international student who chooses to return home (or otherwise leave New Zealand) over the summer break needs to be aware that they are not eligible to re-enter the country to continue study in early 2021 under current border settings. Students facing hardship will need to reconsider whether they should continue to stay in New Zealand or are better to return home.

  International students currently in New Zealand who intend to continue to study in 2021 have the following options at the end of this academic year: 

  • Remain here over the break and continue their New Zealand study next year
  • Find additional summer school study programmes
  • Return home and continue their New Zealand study online next year, if their institution supports this option
  • Return home and cease their New Zealand study.

  Study providers are asked to ensure they are familiar with their ongoing Code obligations over the summer period, and to assist students to understand their options.

  Read more about the responsibilities providers have under the Education (Pastoral Care of International Students) Code of Practice 2016.

  Education New Zealand wants to complement and spread the word about the excellent work the sector and regional economic development agencies are all currently undertaking.

  We are also mindful that remaining in New Zealand will bring challenges for students and so supporting student connection and wellbeing is also a focus over this time.

  At ENZ we are:

  • Creating new NauMai NZ pages, specifically aimed towards keeping students in New Zealand over the summer.
    • The aim of these pages is to provide a central repository of activities and opportunities, addressing key themes of study, recreation, skill development, and connection with other students.
    • They will signpost out to activity happening at a regional and national level, as well as highlighting ENZ-led online initiatives.
    • These pages will be live at the end of September
  • Hosting a Summer in NZ online virtual fair for international students in NZ on 31 October, where regions and contributing organisations will have a chance to showcase summer activities that they are developing and delivering. Students will be able to register via NauMai NZ at the beginning of October.
  • Activating a variety of communications channels to direct students to NauMai NZ and the Summer in NZ fair to maximise awareness of summer opportunities and to gently encourage consideration of further study to those whose programmes may be finishing.
  • Facilitating online events and opportunities to support student wellbeing and connection over the summer period.

  We look forward to showcasing the fantastic experiences for students here in New Zealand over summer 2020/2021, building their capability, and supporting their wellbeing and connection to Aotearoa New Zealand. Further information will be available in the coming weeks.

• New student support portal launched by India Government

  “With the big increase in our students making New Zealand their education destination choice, we felt the time was right to extend our outreach to them for the best international experience for them and their families,” said Mr Sanjiv Kohli, High Commissioner of India to New Zealand.

  The new portal has been welcomed by Education New Zealand and its NZ Inc partner agencies, Immigration New Zealand, Ministry of Education, New Zealand Qualifications Authority, and Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

  “We are committed to supporting these kinds of initiatives, and we encourage providers to share this information with their relevant student cohorts,” said John Goulter, Education New Zealand General Manager, Stakeholders, Communication and Intelligence.

  “We all want our young people to take advantage of the opportunities available to them, and an international education experience broadens horizons and possibilities.

  “Safety and well-being is a critical part of New Zealand’s international education journey and we are always looking for ways to support our international students.”

  More information on the Government of India student portal can be found here. Indian students are encouraged to register.

  Last month, the New Zealand Government strengthened the education code for pastoral care and established a dispute resolution scheme. New Zealand was a world leader when it first introduced the pastoral care code in 2002, and well-being initiatives for international students continue to be a significant part New Zealand’s education environment.

• BPO Intelligence to make a splash at NZIEC 2018

  The innovative marketing and communications company works closely with many providers across the country, including 85 percent of universities in Australia and New Zealand, to aid them in their international marketing endeavours.

   “We are thrilled to be the lead partner for NZIEC for a fifth consecutive year,” says BPO Intelligence chief executive Naresh Gulati.

  “NZIEC is becoming one of the most significant conferences on the global international education circuit. We are delighted to be able to once again share our expertise in leadership and innovation, as well as helping to explore new strategies and new technologies for growth and development in international education,” says Naresh.

  “We appreciate BPO’s commitment to supporting the development of New Zealand’s international education industry through its backing of NZIEC,” says ENZ chief executive Grant McPherson.

  “BPO has been a strong supporter of NZIEC for the past four years and it’s great to have them involved for the next phase of the conference’s development.”

  “I encourage all conference delegates to head along and touch base with the BPO team at the Expo Hall.”

  NZIEC selling out – fast!

  In just two weeks we’ve sold over 50% of the available places at NZIEC 2018. That makes it our fastest selling conference yet – and we’re on track to sell out.

• Kiwi mobility in the GIC spotlight

  Brett Berquist, University of Auckland Director International, says while New Zealand counts 4.5 million people onshore, another 15% of Kiwis reside abroad. 

  “New Zealanders travel – for work, for study and for the joy of it. The Kiwi cultural phenomena of the ‘Big OE’ is a key part of this international experience.

  “In particular, New Zealand university graduates have among the highest mobility rates in the world. One in three domestic university graduates are overseas within seven years of graduation, and 41% of doctoral graduates are on their OE within five years of graduation, according to the Ministry of Education.  

  “Traditionally, the OE has been a post-graduation undertaking, but we see that the current generation is keen to begin their OE during study and are particularly driven by employability outcomes. Most Kiwis then return to our shores with new skills and experiences to contribute to our community and economy.”

  In 2017, the University of Auckland received more than 400 applications for 10 eight-week internships in Mumbai, India. Since then, more than 100 students have participated in global internships enabled through ENZ’s Prime Minister’s Scholarships, or self-funded. 

  “Demand is growing for global internships among our students. They understand the value of work-based learning opportunities and increasingly can see the connection to international experience also,” said Brett.

  This increasing interest in offshore learning experiences is encompassed in goal three of the New Zealand International Education Strategy – global citizenship.

  New Zealand representatives from the University of Waikato, Canterbury University, Victoria University of Wellington, Auckland University of Technology and the University of Auckland will present at the GIC on their own experiences in growing participation in global internships, including perspectives from student participants.

  These sessions will enable conference delegates to learn more about how New Zealand is engaging with global internships through analysis and case studies of different models for work-integrated learning being implemented across the country.

  The 2019 Global Internship Conference will take place on 2-5 July, bringing together more than 300 delegates from around the world to discuss integrating employability and internships with study.

• Exploring indigenous exchange programmes and internships

  The students, from University of Auckland and AUT, are part of the British Columbia & New Zealand Indigenous Student Mobility Project,a two-year programme that aims to provide reciprocal, short-term learning abroad and professional development and networking opportunities for indigenous students. The students will be joined by five First Nations students from Victoria University (UVic) in Canada, who are also part of the programme.

  Next year the Kiwi students will travel to Vancouver and be hosted by UVic for the 2020 GIC. UVic is a leader in the Canadian Co-Op model, where an internship is a required component of the university degree. 

  “Increasing access to international learning opportunities for all students, and in particular our Māori and Pasifika students, is an important goal for the University of Auckland,” says Brett Berquist, University of Auckland’s Director International.

  “Community and family are key to this strategy, and the chance to share and learn from First Nations students and academics at UVic is a great opportunity for our students.”

  The Student Mobility Project aims to engage indigenous students in immersive experiences that help them to establish and maintain relationships with other indigenous students and communities, industry, academics, and higher education professionals. It intends to provide a forum for indigenous students to present their perspectives and experiences, facilitating an exchange of ideas and networks.

  At the GIC, the students will share their perspectives and experiences on how international experiences benefit indigenous communities, how to best connect indigenous communities internationally, and how work placements and co-operative education have influenced their lives and careers.

  Karima Ramji, UVic’s Manager of International Programmes will also discuss critical success factors in developing indigenous international work-integrated learning exchange programmes.

  The GIC will feature further perspectives on global internships via a panel of University of Auckland Māori and Pasifika awardees of the Prime Minister’s Scholarships funded internships in Asia and Latin America.

  The 2019 Global Internship Conference will take place on 2-5 July, hosted by the University of Auckland. To register or to find out more, click here.

• Are you making the most of IntelliLab?

  ENZ’s Intelligence Manager Andrew McPhee encourages all New Zealand education providers working in international education to make the most of this resource.

  “International education professionals want to be as informed as possible before making important decisions – IntelliLab should be your go-to source,” he says.

  IntelliLab is free, easy to access and provides the latest information on student numbers and trends, market information, industry valuations, research, and insights on developments such as the recent downturn in new Chinese students, to help industry make informed decisions.

  “It also includes exclusive content – while the summary dashboards and most infographics are available for anyone to download, the reports and insights are only available to registered New Zealand government officials and international education providers.

  “The interactive numbers tools in particular are popular with users, such as TED (The Enrolments Data), as it enables providers to analyse student numbers over the past five years by their key markets, sectors, and region,” Andrew says.

  Christchurch NZ Programme Manager Bree Loverich says the data from IntelliLab is a key source of support for the work she does at a regional level.

  “We are increasingly asked to provide data insights at a moments’ notice for various stakeholders and to support business cases for our student visitor activities, major events, talent attraction and retention.

  “The support and quality of data provided by ENZ’s intelligence team is outstanding. They have always provided quality insights and analysis to support our efforts to make informed decisions and projects that benefit industry and the student body.

  “They have also made it possible for me to articulate the value of the industry to key influencers in the region. It’s a service that the region has come to trust and we could not be successful without it.”
