• Education story

  What are the experiences of New Zealand education you wish others could immediately see and understand?

  To help share the story of what makes New Zealand unique, Education New Zealand has developed the New Zealand Education Brand Story.

  Launched tonight at the New Zealand International Education Conference 2013 in Christchurch by the Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment, Steven Joyce, the New Zealand Education Brand Story is a suite of resources you can use to share the distinctive benefits of New Zealand education in an emotionally engaging and inspiring way.

  The central messages – all focused around the concept of ‘new’ and being open to the new – are articulated in a captivating two-minute video and associated marketing resources including photographs, logos, branded templates and presentations that you can use when marketing your institution, business, region or the country as a whole.

  The idea behind developing these marketing resources is that by first building awareness of New Zealand education internationally – who we are, what we stand for and what we offer as a country – it will pave the way for you to introduce your school, university, business or institution and its distinctive strengths in more detail.

  You can access these resources through a new marketing toolkit – The Brand Lab.

   Register online now, at no cost, to have access to these resources which include:

  • A photo library – including hundreds of images specific to education in New Zealand

  • The New Zealand Education Brand Story video – helping you tell the New Zealand Education Brand Story in an expressive and engaging way

  • Web banners, online ads and social media posts – content you can readily use on the many digital platforms available across the world

  • Event signage, brochures and publications – branded resources and content to boost your marketing efforts

  • Branded templates – put your information in to our branded templates, clearly identifying them as part of the wider ‘ThinkNew’ brand family

  We encourage you to sign up to our International Education Newsletter to receive updates about new materials as they are added to The Brand Lab over time. 

• Brazil to headline NZIEC as Country of Honour

  ENZ has joined with the Brazilian Embassy in Wellington to bring to life the partnership, which celebrates the growing education connections between New Zealand and Brazil.

  Lisa Futschek, ENZ Regional Director Americas and Europe, said ENZ is excited to showcase Brazil this year.

  “As the largest student recruitment market in Latin America and with momentum growing, Brazil is an important diversification market for New Zealand’s international education industry.

  “Moreover, conference participants will revel in tasters of Brazil’s vibrant music and cuisine culture!”

  Paulo Camargo, Ambassador of Brazil in New Zealand, is delighted to see Brazil featured as the Country of Honour at NZIEC 2018.

  “Every year, thousands of Brazilians come to New Zealand to study across a variety of sectors. I also see a growing interest of New Zealand students going to Brazilian universities. In the process, this exchange builds one of the best foundations for the strong relationship between two countries: the human ties of friendship and understanding.

  “Brazil and New Zealand share many values and have great potential to enhance educational cooperation. I look forward to working with Education New Zealand to turn 2018 into a landmark for our two-way partnership."

  

  Be sure to soak up some of the sights and sounds of Brazil at NZIEC 2018

  Last year, almost 3,600 Brazilian students studied in New Zealand. Engagement with Brazilian institutions is also increasing due in part to the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Latin America and the funding offered to help internationalise Brazil’s postgraduate departments.

  In March this year, five New Zealand universities participated in the Brazil/New Zealand Academic Cooperation Forum designed to enhance collaboration and research linkages at postgraduate level.

  The Country of Honour designation at NZIEC celebrates and showcases New Zealand’s international education connections with partner countries.

  NZIEC delegates can look forward to engaging with the team from the Brazilian Embassy at its booth in the Expo Hall – and experience a few delights during conference.

• Think New enters India

  India is currently the second largest and fastest growing source of international students to New Zealand. Education New Zealand (ENZ) is looking to build on this positive momentum with a new marketing campaign. 

  While New Zealand is well known in India for cricket, tourism and to some extent movies such as The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit, there is still work to do to improve awareness of New Zealand as a high quality education destination.

  Kathryn McCarrison, General Manager Marketing and Channel Development, says: “Those who know New Zealand like New Zealand but there is a lack of awareness about us as a high quality international study destination. This campaign aims to help fill this knowledge gap.”

  The campaign challenges prospective students who are already thinking about study abroad options to take the next step and convert their general interest in New Zealand into active consideration.

  Visitors who register their interest in studying in New Zealand on the Education New Zealand (ENZ) campaign website will be contacted by a pool of New Zealand specialist education agents who can provide more information about the courses, the criteria and support with the application process.

  Popular Indian Premier League (IPL) coach of the Chennai Super Kings and former New Zealand cricket captain Stephen Fleming is fronting the awareness raising campaign.  By expressing interest, prospective students will be automatically “in to win” an exclusive dinner date with Stephen Fleming. Fleming’s team is having a great IPL season and he is highly regarded in Indian as among the best captains the Black Caps ever had.

  “The New Zealand tertiary education sector has a huge range of programmes available. As well as being specialists in a number of areas we also offer niche and vocational courses which are less developed in other countries so New Zealand really stands out from the crowd.

  “We want to continue to grow the number of high quality Indian students studying in New Zealand and for them to secure meaningful jobs, particularly in industries experiencing skill shortages such as I.T, Engineering, Agriculture and Forestry and Construction. We hope that this campaign will help us to achieve this goal,” Kathryn says.

  ENZ is working with ten of the top Indian agencies on this campaign. These agencies will amplify the campaign messages through their own networks, reaching many thousands more students.

  The campaign will run from 12 May to the end of June, building on a strong public relations strategy that ENZ has been running in India since October 2013.

• ENZ roadshow heading to South America in 2025!

  The South American region has significant potential to grow international student numbers to New Zealand. ENZ is excited to help facilitate this growth with a series of agent-facing events in Bogota, Colombia, São Paulo, Brazil, and Santiago, Chile. 

  Representatives from all New Zealand's education subsectors are invited to participate, with New Zealand Private Training Establishments (PTEs) and English Language Schools (ELS) particularly encouraged, seeing as both subsectors have been identified as having significant opportunities for growth in this region in ENZ's 2024/25 Business Plan. 

  The events offer New Zealand providers the opportunity to deliver presentations to local education agents, meet with them one-on-one, and network at a closing function. 

  ENZ's Director of Engagement for Latin America, Javiera Visedo, said that these seminars will offer a great opportunity for New Zealand institutions to reconnect with high performing South American education agents.  

  “In 2023, we had 3,124 students from Latin America studying in New Zealand which is a 68% increase from 2022 but a long way off pre-Covid levels,” said Javiera. 

  She added “in organising this series of events for early next year, we want to to keep facilitating the ongoing connection of New Zealand’s providers with key agents in the region, putting New Zealand front of mind as they assist students in their international study decision making processes". 

  Any education providers who are interested in receiving more information about the events and register to attend, can do so here - https://enzevents.eventsair.com/EduNZ/2025-south-america-roadshow/info.

• Six million students look to NZ's teachers in digital campaign

  On 8 October, ENZ launched Future Proof 2.0, the second iteration of its successful “Future Proof” marketing campaign from earlier this year, which raised awareness of New Zealand’s #1 ranking in the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Worldwide Educating for the Future Index.

  Philippa Brown, ENZ’s International Digital Content Manager, said the new campaign aims to personalise the ranking by showcasing the teachers and academics who make New Zealand’s education system world leading.

  “Brand research has shown that teacher quality is an important factor in decision making – so the campaign’s central message is: Our teachers lead the world in preparing students for the future.

  “By creating campaign videos, profiles and photos of our teachers and the ways they work to encourage and challenge their students, we hope to attract more international students seeking that same learning environment.”

  The campaign will run over eight weeks across 14 of ENZ’s strategic markets, and has already reached over six million students and attracted close to 4,000 to sign up to our database.

  “These prospective students receive a series of emails that further tell New Zealand’s education story and encourage them to register for My StudyNZ, where they can find study programmes aligned to their interests, and connect directly with New Zealand institutions and agents.

  “Future Proof 2.0 offers a fantastic opportunity for New Zealand providers to increase the impact of their own marketing by aligning their activities with the campaign. For example, they can highlight their region’s or institution’s teachers while the campaign is running.”

  Providers can access free Future Proof 2.0 assets in The Brand Lab, including videos, imagery and other content.

• Europe market update for secondary schools

  As the sector rebuilds capability and welcomes international students back to New Zealand, this session will provide valuable information to secondary school staff wanting to refresh their knowledge or learn more about working with education agents and recruiting school students in Europe.

  We are hosting one 1.5-hour Zoom session on Thursday 16 March from 3.30-5.00pm NZT.

  The session will introduce schools to ENZ’s Europe team, provide an update on the market, and have guest speakers on hand to share their experiences of working in Europe.

  In previous years, many students from Germany, France and Italy have travelled to New Zealand on student exchanges, seeking new experiences at New Zealand high schools. These countries are a priority focus for ENZ staff based in Europe.

  In 2019, 1855 German students, 406 Italian students, and 370 French students spent time studying in New Zealand high schools. At least 66% of German international students were enrolled in schools in 2020, making this the largest subsector for Germany students.

  Register for the session here.

• Boost to long-term education partnerships in China

  The arrangement will enable participating New Zealand universities and ITPs to form long-term partnerships with Chinese institutions in a key subject area to invest in, develop and deliver new joint programmes. 

  The arrangement was signed between the New Zealand Government-to-Government Partnerships Office (G2G), China’s Ministry of Education and the National Center for Schooling Development (CSDP), the only governance organisation that establishes standards and evaluates education systems in more than 1000 higher education institutions in China.

  Specifically, it will allow participating New Zealand tertiary institutions to formally register and participate in China’s International Higher Standard Application-Oriented Institutions Programme.

  ENZ’s Regional Director – China & North Asia, Adele Bryant, said the arrangement is a win-win for New Zealand and China. 

  “New Zealand institutions can participate in the development of China’s higher education system as well as benefit from a new future channel of good quality Chinese students.”

  To date, five New Zealand tertiary institutions including AUT, Otago Polytechnic, Weltec & Whitireia, Wintec and Ara Institute of Canterbury have participated in this arrangement.

  CSDP is also cooperating with education institutions in the USA, United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland, the Netherlands and Australia.

  In September, CSDP’s representatives will visit New Zealand to hold a workshop with the participating New Zealand institutions and undertake site visits of their campuses.

  Interested universities or ITPs can contact ENZ’s International Market Manager – China, Ross Fisher, at ross.fisher@enz.govt.nz.  

• Visa advice for international graduates

  Catherine Albiston, Registrar of the IAA, says that any students seeking immigration advice about their options to stay in New Zealand following their studies must use an Immigration Adviser licensed by the IAA, or an exempt person such as a New Zealand lawyer.

  “If students need personalised immigration help, it is important they only seek it from people who can legally give it,” says Catherine.

  “Holding an immigration adviser licence means the individual has met competency standards and must be professional.” 

  The IAA’s register of licensed immigration advisers can be found here.

  “Visa applicants need to be honest with Immigration New Zealand and declare any help received when completing a visa application form,” says Catherine.

  “If applicants are not honest, the visa application may be declined and Immigration New Zealand may refuse future visa applications.”

  For more information, visit the IAA’s website or email info@iaa.govt.nz. 

  Further visa information is available on the Immigration New Zealand website.
