Summer down under
With COVID-19 pandemic restrictions on international travel in force, many students are choosing to stay in New Zealand over summer rather than go home because in most cases, they will not be able to return for the start of the 2022 academic year.
ENZ’s Director of Student Experience and Global Citizens, Sahinde Pala, says it will be the second unexpected summer in New Zealand for many students.
“Those international students who are still here have shown amazing resilience. We know how hard it can be to be separated from loved ones at home for so long.
“But the early results from our research suggest they have remained remarkably positive about the overall New Zealand experience, despite the challenges.”
ENZ is supporting students again this summer with information and resources on health and wellbeing, exploring the country and building their work skills.
The Summer in New Zealand section of the NauMai NZ website for international students offers information, advice and links to expert resources. These include a webinar featuring careers expert Andrew Tui to give them practical tips on how to build their professional and personal skills.
“ENZ would like to acknowledge all the work the people in the international education sector are doing to support their students over the summer, and we invite you to share our resources with your networks.
“We wish everyone a summer in New Zealand that is safe and restful,” Ms Pala says.

ENZ launches digital Media Centre
ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson said the ENZ Media Centre will act as an entry point for international and New Zealand media to spark their interest and improve their understanding of the richness and breadth of New Zealand’s international education offering.
The Media Centre will start small but grow over time – helped by contributions from education providers. Their stories will range from profiles of their world-leading research and academics to innovative teaching programmes and unique courses.
“Each year, New Zealand attracts some 125,000 international students to our shores for the education experience of a lifetime. But the excellence, quality and diversity of these experiences is not widely understood.
“Through the Media Centre, we hope to broaden the discussions about what international education in New Zealand covers. For example, in addition to stories profiling international students in New Zealand, we will also share news about New Zealanders studying and interning offshore and the success of New Zealand education exports on the world stage.”
The content and design of the Media Centre is a result of consultation with ENZ’s international staff and PR agencies as well as discussion with education providers, regional economic development agencies and peak bodies. All content – written stories, listicles, think pieces, infographics and photography – is free to use.
“Telling the story about international education in New Zealand is an important part of ENZ's work. Last year, we worked with marketing and communication agencies in nine markets to generate more than 2,000 pieces of coverage. The Media Centre will support these efforts and help to lift the quality and quantity of coverage, including more up-to-date stories direct from our education providers,” said Grant.

Introducing NauMai NZ
ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson is pleased to announce the launch today of a new digital platform, NauMai NZ, to support international students as they transition to a new culture and life in New Zealand.
NauMai NZ reflects the Māori concept of manaakitanga, Grant said.
“Our culture of care and respect for all visitors is incredibly important. We are therefore delighted to launch this first phase of NauMai NZ, which supports the first six months of the international student journey, a time when students need extra help.
“We are proud that the majority of students have a fantastic, often life-changing, time in New Zealand. We want this to be the case for every student.”
The content and design of NauMai NZ is the result of research-based insight. It includes advice on working in New Zealand, culture and lifestyle, accommodation, healthcare and wellbeing services.
“Students have been telling us that they need to know where to get reliable, up-to-date information about living and studying in New Zealand, and NauMai NZ provides this.
“This is a generation that is online 24/7 – and NauMai NZ has been designed to provide useful information at their fingertips.”
The first phase of NauMai NZ provides a trusted government source of information that students need in a clear and accessible way. Ultimately, the platform will provide personalised support for students throughout their study, extending beyond graduation to work and a career.
“It is a privilege to host visiting students and we all have a responsibility to look after them.”
The New Zealand International Education Strategy 2018-2030 was launched in August 2018. NauMai NZ aligns with an action in the Strategy – to improve the availability of clear, timely and customer-focused information about education and immigration to students and providers.
NauMai NZ also embodies the objectives of New Zealand’s International Student Wellbeing Strategy by providing content connected with the social, cultural, community, health and wellbeing needs of international students.
The development of NauMai NZ is being led by ENZ in collaboration with Immigration New Zealand, Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment, Ministry of Education, and the New Zealand Qualifications Authority.
The platform is fully integrated with ENZ’s wider digital ecosystem, including its platform and analytics capability, providing a new layer of support for the international student journey.

Funding available for science projects with leading Indian institution
A total of USD100,000 in seed funding is available for joint research projects with the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IIT Delhi), under a programme facilitated by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao. Applications open on 1 February 2022 and close on 1 March 2022.
The funding is administered by the New Zealand Centre at IIT Delhi, which has been set up to help researchers to collaborate, host visiting scientists and act as a forum for diplomatic and trade dialogue.
A virtual summit in late 2021 organised by ENZ attracted more than 100 participants from IIT Delhi and all eight New Zealand universities to explore opportunities for collaboration.
The summit was led by the University of Auckland’s Director International, Brett Berquist and IIT Delhi’s Dean of Research and Development, Professor Naveen Garg. They were joined by the High Commissioners from both countries.
ENZ’s Country Manager for India, Jugnu Roy, says the New Zealand Centre at IIT Delhi is a major contribution to ENZ’s strategy for building New Zealand’s academic reputation internationally.
“Academic cooperation with a key market like India, helps to enhance New Zealand’s output of joint research projects with leading institutions.
“It is an opportunity to sustain and increase the visibility of New Zealand universities, as well as their connections and rankings.
“We are delighted at the way the virtual summit has kickstarted the research conversations,” she said.
The memorandum of understanding setting up the New Zealand Centre at IIT Delhi was signed between all eight New Zealand universities and IIT Delhi in February 2020. It is the second such research centre – the other is the New Zealand Centre at Peking University in Beijing, China.

New Zealand progressively reopens borders for international students in 2022 with new start in 2023
Note: The information in this story was correct at the time of publication, however, some steps in New Zealand's border reopening plan have now been brought forward. Click here to check the current border reopening steps.
Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) welcomes the Government’s announcement to reopen New Zealand’s borders. This is a positive step for international education.
The announcement outlined a five-step process for reopening borders from 28 February 2022, initially for New Zealanders to return from Australia and then from the rest of the world.
The Government also announced a fourth border class exception for up to 5,000 international students to enter New Zealand for study from mid-2022, in addition to the earlier cohorts approved in 2020 and 2021.
From October 2022 normal visa processing will resume, enabling international students to enroll for study in New Zealand in 2023.
ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson says today’s announcement is an important step towards rebuilding a strengthened and sustainable international education sector. “The border reopening steps outlined today enable the international education sector to progressively open through 2022 for the existing cohorts, with a new much larger cohort able to enter New Zealand for study before semester two. More details of the new student cohort will be determined by the Ministers of Education and Immigration and advised in due course.
“There's also an opportunity for students from Visa Waiver countries such as Japan and South Korea to enter New Zealand from July for short visits of up to three months.
“The Government has demonstrated their commitment to international students and educational institutions in 2023, with normal visa processing resuming in October 2022. This means international students can plan towards being in New Zealand for courses starting in 2023.”
Mr. McPherson said education providers could now plan with greater certainty for the year ahead.
“It has been an incredibly challenging period for New Zealand education providers, international students, and those who support them. The sector has shown considerable patience as the borders were carefully managed to minimize the threat posed by COVID-19. Today’s announcement is an opportunity to rebuild and reshape the sector to meet the challenges ahead.”
Mr. McPherson said the innovation and diversification into online learning and delivery of courses offshore, including pathway programmes over the last few years, would remain a feature in the industry as it moved forward. Today's announcement also prepares the way for New Zealand students to resume international studies abroad in the future.
“All New Zealand education providers know the value of building international partnerships, and developing new ways of meeting student needs. These are important building blocks for future resilience and quality education outcomes.
“In addition, from 14 March 2022 students entering New Zealand through the border exception cohorts will have the opportunity to self-isolate, rather than going through Managed Isolation and Quarantine facilities - subject to complying with all the required health and border requirements.”
Mr McPherson stressed the importance of seeking advice before moving forward with applications for enrolment. Students who have questions about this border class exception should contact their agent or preferred education provider in the first instance.
Students can also visit NauMai NZ, which provides useful information for international students in New Zealand or preparing to travel to New Zealand.

Europe agent promotion fund winners
Four creative and innovative projects from agents across Europe were selected for ENZ Europe’s 2018 Agent Promotion Fund.
Content: Olga Elli, ENZ’s Education Marketing Manager – Europe, said the fund of 2,500 EUR supports creative and innovative projects that promote New Zealand as a world-leading study destination.
“We received a number of really exciting proposals from agents across Germany, Italy, Spain and France,” said Olga.
“While only four agents were awarded funding to implement their ideas, it’s encouraging to see the enthusiasm and creativity in this market from agents eager to send students to New Zealand for an excellent education experience.”
The winners of the 2018 Agent Promotion Fund are:
This agent will use funding to support the Kiwi-Cup Hockey Tournament in Hamburg in June, which more than 300 students aged 11-14 years old attend. Hausch & Partner believe that education and sports have always been a winning combination, and that this tournament is a great opportunity to promote New Zealand to these students.
This agent will implement a digital promotion package via Facebook, LinkedIn and a New Zealand blog. As a new agent promoting New Zealand, they have found that online campaigns offer some of the best results and conversions in the Italian market.
This agent will implement a digital promotion campaign in France through social media channels, newsletters and alumni stories. They plan to use ENZ key messages to promote the significant benefits that students can gain from studying in the New Zealand education system.
Under the title “Please don’t disturb – I’m already in New Zealand!”, this virtual reality project will introduce VR headsets to their stands at the 45 international education fairs they attend in Germany each year.

Diwali celebrations light up New Zealand campuses
It was a wonderful week of Diwali across New Zealand campuses as students and education institutions came together to celebrate the festival of lights.
AUT lights up for Diwali
The sights, sounds and colours of Diwali were on full display at AUT’s recent Diwali Festival.
With the largest cohort of international students from India in New Zealand, AUT’s Diwali Festival celebrated the incredible contribution Indian students make to life at AUT.
Pro Vice-Chancellor International, Professor Guy Littlefair, said the event enriches their campus culture and showcases the university’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.
“Our incredible Diwali event was a wonderful opportunity for our entire university to celebrate our Indian students and the richness and joy of Indian culture,” Professor Littlefair said.
“We are proud of our growing reputation throughout India for our wide range and quality of study programmes, for being the university of technology in New Zealand, and for our great student support, accessibility to academic staff, employability, and student success.
“India is an extraordinarily important partner country to us, but more importantly our Indian students are an extremely valued part of our AUT family and the unique perspective and rich culture they bring to us are treasured by all our staff and students.”
Students lead Diwali celebrations at Wintec | Te Pūkenga
Diwali 2023 performers, organisers, volunteers, and audience all enjoyed the celebrations at Wintec | Te Pūkenga City Campus, including International Student Services Advisors, Unmesha Veetil (far left) and Li Li (front row with orange sari).
This year, the Diwali celebrations at Wintec | Te Pūkenga City and Rotokauri campuses were completely ākonga (student)-led, making them even more special than usual. Although facilitated by the International Student Support team, the events were entirely hosted by ākonga, from the MCs to all the entertainment.
Unmesha Veetil, International Student Services Advisor, said the events were vibrant and high energy and a real testament to the students.
“The MCs did a great job of engaging the audience and getting them singing along, the dance performances and magic tricks were stunning and there were even talented students doing henna designs. On the request of the audience there was a final open dance floor which got many from the audience dancing too and proved lots of fun.”
