In a 60-second video, students were asked to share their aspirations for studying in New Zealand, including references to the programme they have selected.
Cecily Lin, ENZ’s Regional Lead, North Asia, said the standard of entries was impressive, as was the level of support agents provided their students.
“It’s encouraging to see agents teaming up with students to enter the competition, and help them achieve their goal of studying in New Zealand,” said Cecily.
“As this was the first time we ran the competition, we were unsure of how much interest we’d have – but we were pleasantly surprised when the videos started flooding in.”
The winning students and agents will be presented with their awards at a ceremony hosted by Clare Fearnley, New Zealand Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, at her residence in Seoul on Friday, 17 February. The winners’ videos will be screened at the event.

Update from Immigration New Zealand
New Immigration New Zealand website now live
The new Immigration New Zealand (INZ) website is now live, with clearer information and guidance to help INZ customers navigate their immigration journey more easily.
The new visual design and structure makes it easier for customers to know what the visa process means for them and how to apply for a visa and comply with their visa conditions.
Visit the new INZ website.Apply early to get ahead of the student visa peak
Applying for a student visa at least three months before intended travel date gives students the best chance to have a decision made in time for their study.
The processing of student visas is a priority for INZ, particularly as it gets closer to peak times.
Immigration New Zealand is in the mid-year student visa processing peak, which is between May and August each year.
Applications take longer to be decided during this peak period, so it is important that students apply early if they want to come to New Zealand to study.
Wait times for international student visa applications are published in our visa wait times section.
Help us process applications faster
To help INZ process applications quicker and avoid unnecessary delays, students should provide full and complete applications, including all necessary documentation.
Students can use our student visa information sheets to make sure their application has all the information and documentation required.
Student visa information sheet – first-time international students
Student visa information sheet – continuing international students
If students apply late, their application may not be processed in time for their study in New Zealand.
Due to the high volume of visa applications expected, we will not contact students if documents are missing from their application. If the missing information is key to the assessment, then the application may be declined.
Student visas moving to enhanced Immigration Online
From 18 August 2025, international student visa applications are moving to Immigration New Zealand’s enhanced Immigration Online system.
The aim is a simpler, faster and more user-friendly visa application process to reduce waiting times, provide clear communication on application statuses, and increase self-service capabilities so everyone feels more informed and better supported.
How applications during this transition will be managed
As we are in a peak period for student visa applications, we encourage applicants to submit applications when they are ready, and at least 3 months ahead of the intended travel date to help avoid delays that may impact them starting their study on time.
There are some important things applicants need to know if they are submitting an international student visa application around August 2025.
If applicants start a new draft application on or before 17 August, they will be applying in our current system. They will need to submit the application by 17 September, otherwise the draft application will expire.
If they start an application on or after 18 August, they will be automatically directed to our new system.
Please read our news item for more detailed information on the visas affected and the transition process.

US series studies Massey education
Four half-hour TV segments and YouTube clips profile Massey’s education and research expertise in food safety, New Zealand society, aviation and veterinary medicine.
Filming took place at the Manawatu campus in early July, and will be broadcast on America’s East Coast in August.
US host, educational consultant and author Steven Roy Goodman has visited countries all around the world, portraying different aspects of the university sector. However, this is his first time filming in the Southern Hemisphere. The series has screened 123 episodes to date.
“It’s an educational show where I aim to bring the ideas and news of universities around the world to the general public in the best way I can,” said Steven.
Steven singled out the veterinary medicine discussion as one that would be of particular interest to students from the United States because of the Massey Veterinary School’s American Veterinary and Medical Association (AVMA) accreditation.Steven was also fascinated by the discussion on New Zealand society and Massey’s new BA degree with the head of the School of Māori Art, Knowledge and Education (Te Pūtahi-a-Toi) Professor Meihana Durie, and Pro Vice-Chancellor of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Distinguished Professor Paul Spoonley.
“For me the discussion on New Zealand society was particularly eye-opening and not at all what I originally envisioned – I don’t think people in the US know a great deal about New Zealand society, but I think they will be introduced to it now,” said Steven.Project leader and International Development Manager for Massey, Bruce Graham, says the project will help promote Massey’s research, Study Abroad opportunities and specialist degree programmes in the US.
“This will also add to the growing reputation of New Zealand’s wider university sector, and the capability and expertise of these institutions.”
The TV episodes can be found on YouTube, and will also be included in Massey’s webpages and social media sites. You can view them below:

New brand identity of the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme launching next week
Education providers and suppliers who are part of the programme will be able to start using the new brand’s design assets from The ENZ BrandLab from 23 October.
The Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship website will also prominently showcase the refreshed brand from next week.
The new Manaaki logo consists of three parts. The tohu is on the left, the Manaaki wordmark is placed in the middle, with the Aotearoa New Zealand fernmark on the right-hand side.
New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade - Manatū Aorere (MFAT) Scholarships Unit Manager, Alexandra Grace, said it was important for the new brand identity to reflect the transformational nature of Manaaki scholarships to build people’s skills and support them to contribute positively to their communities and countries.
“The new brand is an exciting step forward to unify the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme’s visual identity to appeal to prospective scholars who are most aligned with our Programme’s values,” Alexandra said.
He parirau is one of the key patterns of the new brand. It is inspired by the takarangi (spiral) and parirau (feathers).
The brand identity development and working group involved kaimahi Māori from MFAT, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao and Indigenous Design Innovation Aotearoa (IDIA) who gifted a specially crafted whakatauākī* for the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme.
The whakatauākī ‘He Parirau Toro Ao’ translates to ‘stretch your wings to the world’.
ENZ’s Senior Advisor, Rautaki Māori, Craig Rofe, said the whakatauākī is a profound taonga and gift to the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme.
“It beautifully anchors the programme in āhua Māori (Māori ways of being).”
“We are also pleased with how the whole process of creating the new brand has been steeped in āhua Māori. The way everyone involved in the project used whakawhanaungatanga – the specific act of getting to know one another before we started our work – and wānanga, coming together to meet, discuss and deliberate, every step of the way, made all the difference,” Craig said.

The new brand was developed following research and interviews with 29 scholars and alumni, and a survey covering 627 people.
The research surfaced three compelling principles for the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme – manaakitanga, empowering people, communities and countries, and fostering enduring connections.
ENZ’s Manaaki Scholarships Manager, Nancy Linton, said the concept of manaakitanga is integral to the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarships Programme – not only by name, but also in the way that scholars are supported during their entire journey, from application and study to their return home.
“The manaaki we show our visitors by embracing them like part of our ‘whānau’ or family is visible in the way our educational providers extend that support to Manaaki scholars and alumni, who really value it as part of their study experience.
“I am pleased with the way we have incorporated this core element of the Programme, among others, into the new brand identity,” Nancy said.
A brand transition period is in place through 28 February 2025, to allow providers enough time to switch to new brand assets.
Visit The ENZ BrandLab to access new design assets for the Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship Programme after 24 October.
* Whakatauākī are proverbs where the person who said it first is known, as opposed to whakataukī, which are proverbs whose origin cannot be traced to a person.

New Zealand’s connections with Asia and Latin America are set to receive a boost with the announcement of 114 individual recipients of the Prime Minister’s scholarships for Asia and Latin America over the next year, Acting Chief Executive for Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ), Linda Sissons announced today.
The latest round will see scholarship recipients heading to destinations including Japan, Korea, Malaysia, China, India, Viet Nam, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, and Chile for study and internship programmes.

Scholarships have been awarded to recipients from a wide range of regions from around New Zealand, including Rotorua, Taupo, Gisborne, Hastings, Feilding, Tauranga, Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Palmerston North, Christchurch, Dunedin, Riwaka and Oamaru.
“The Prime Minister’s Scholarships offer a fantastic opportunity for New Zealanders to foster lifelong connections as they learn and grow their understanding of cultures and business practices across Asia and Latin America”, Acting Chief Executive for Education New Zealand, Linda Sissons said.
“The scholarships are awarded to enable recipients to undertake a range of global study opportunities, from language learning and exchange study to internships.
“Over the next year, recipients will embark on semester exchanges, medical electives, language immersion and indigenous integration programmes, internships, and research projects in areas such as architecture and healthcare engineering.
“The scholarships continue to enable a rich exchange of knowledge, ideas and culture for New Zealanders through reciprocal study opportunities and increase global understanding of the strength and quality of our education system”.
A full list of recipients of this individual round can be found here.

About the Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Asia and Latin America
The Prime Minister’s Scholarship programme aims to strengthen New Zealand’s ability to engage with Asian and Latin American trading partners, improve the internationalisation of New Zealand tertiary institutions, showcase the strength and quality of New Zealand's education system and grow inter-cultural awareness and connections between New Zealand and other countries.
The scholarships offer flexible funding to support both short- and long-term programmes, including study abroad or exchange, internships, postgraduate study, and language programmes.
The Prime Minister’s Scholarships are funded by the New Zealand Government and administered by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao.
The Prime Minister’s Scholarships for Asia (PMSA) were launched in 2013 and extended to Latin America (PMSLA) in 2016. To date, 4,155 scholarships have been awarded under the programme.
There are two scholarship rounds each year, and applications for the next scholarship round will be open to group applicants in March 2024. Many scholarship recipients are enrolled in tertiary institutions across New Zealand, but this is not a requirement for the scholarship. Any New Zealand citizen or permanent resident over 18 years old can apply for a scholarship.

Learn New Every Day – new global brand campaign launched to attract international students to New Zealand
The new campaign called Learn New Every Day, delivers a student’s point of view of the first-time experiences international students could encounter in a single day when they study with New Zealand.
ENZ’s General Manager of Marketing and Communication, Geoff Bilbrough, said that 'Learn New Every Day’ is designed to cut through in a very competitive market.
“We wanted to capture the essence of what it is really like to study with New Zealand, taking the perspective of a learner as they encounter new experiences, and convey the excitement and emotion as they go through their day.
“What makes the campaign more memorable is its high energy, positive, contemporary feel. And the first-person point of view approach is unique to the category,” Geoff said.
Geoff went on to say, “The scenes and scenarios in the campaign reflect our core values of a high-quality education and employability/future opportunities. These messages are woven through the campaign through imagery and action involving learners in a range of environments across all parts of New Zealand’s education sector, alongside the well-known adventure and social experiences. The featured imagery reflects what we know international students are looking for in a New Zealand education.”
Learn New Every Day was pre-tested and performed well in in-depth one-on-one interviews with students and parents from China, South Korea, India, and Viet Nam. Feedback was also sought from across New Zealand’s international education sector, who also responded positively to the concepts, their relevance to the young learner, and the clarity of the idea.
ENZ’s Global Brand Manager, Nick Sinclair, said that the campaign involved a mix of current international and domestic students from primary, secondary, and tertiary institutions.
“We had a wonderful time interacting with the international students while capturing these ‘first-experience’ scenes. They were really excited about the opportunity to take part in the decision-making process for other students and their parents as they choose their overseas study destination.
“The campaign communicates what we strongly believe is New Zealand’s competitive edge in the international education market. A New Zealand education experience is as much about the adventure, social experiences, and our unique culture and landscapes, as it is about the high-quality study opportunities that we offer”.
The campaign will run for at least 18 months. It is running initially in China, India, South Korea, Thailand, Viet Nam, and Japan targeting students aged 16 to 24 and their parents across all sectors including high school, university, Te Pūkenga, English language schools and private training establishments. Campaign assets include videos of various lengths, digital banners, and assets for the creation of off-line collateral such as banners, and other materials, in English and the local languages of our target countries.
As well as featuring across paid digital media in these countries, the campaign features on all 10 Study with New Zealand websites, in all communications with prospects that sign up to Study with New Zealand, and across all other ENZ channels.
