• Attracting PhD students to New Zealand

  The PhD page highlights the initiatives that have given New Zealand an international marketing advantage in attracting PhD students from around the world.

  The page promotes the five key benefits of studying for a PhD here. International PhD students:

  1. pay the same fees as domestic students
  2. can enrol their children as domestic students in our state schools
  3. can work full-time
  4. are able to apply for a 12-month post-study work visa after graduating
  5. entitle their partners to apply for an open work visa.   

  Students can check out the page to find out how our PhD programmes are structured, discover the career benefits of studying for a PhD in New Zealand, read case studies from current international students and learn how to apply – there are links to the PhD areas of each university’s website.

  Vietnamese student Tan Duc Do, for instance, decided to study undertake a PhD in Mathematics at the University of Auckland because of the inspiring teaching of his supervisor.

  “Most of the lecturers here are working mathematicians, so they can give insight and inspiration into the subject,” says Tan.

  For Jeffery Garae, a student from Vanuatu, the major attraction of studying Cyber Security in New Zealand was that international PhD students pay the same fees as local students.

  “I was looking at doing a Masters here and when I read about the PhD fees I thought, ‘Whoa – that’s an even better advantage,’” says Jeffery.

  The new PhD page also shines a spotlight on the academic and research performance of New Zealand universities, and on the wide range of subjects available for doctoral research.

• High numbers of student and visitor visa applications

  Jeannie Melville, INZ’s Assistant General Manager, Visa Services says this is typical for this time of year and will likely continue until March 2019.

  “Due to the high application volumes currently being received, we strongly recommend that visitor and student visa applications are submitted as early as possible.

  “Student visas should be submitted at least eight weeks ahead of their intended travel date, while visitor visas should be submitted as soon as possible in advance of travel. This gives INZ time to assess the application and gather more information from the applicant if needed.”

  The fastest and easiest way to apply for a visa is to use the Immigration Online system via the INZ website, where applicants can upload supporting documents, photographs and pay for their application.

  While INZ makes every effort to streamline assessment of applications, applicants may experience longer timeframes if they do not supply all required information (including translations) when they submit their application. If they do not supply the correct information this could hold up the processing of their visa.

  INZ does not advise purchase of travel before an application is completed as the grant of a visa is not guaranteed. In particular, assessment of visitor visa applications will not be prioritised if the sole reason is that the applicant has pre-purchased travel.

  Education providers can refer students to the INZ website for visa processing timeframes, which applicants should take into account when applying for their visa and planning their travel.
