  You’ll find everything you need to help share the New Zealand education brand story ‘I AM NEW’ and build your own story on the NEW Brand Lab. Access and download a wide range of NEW marketing resources from images to videos, templates and more.

• Introducing our joint work programme with Immigration New Zealand

  The joint work programme will support the sector by sharing clear, consistent and relevant information. Aims include encouraging decision-ready applications coming into the immigration system, improving processing times, reducing pressure on the system and attracting genuine students.  

  First-time international student visa application checklist 

  The joint work programme has developed a student visa application checklist for people applying for a student visa as an international student for the first time. 

  The checklist provides a step-by-step guide for students. It will help first-time applicants avoid missing out information and including the correct supporting evidence needed so INZ is able to make decisions more quickly.    

  Not only does it include general application information, it also has further information for eight countries that require specific forms of verifications.    

  The checklist was developed in conjunction with ENZ and peak bodies and this feedback has been incorporated into the final version.
  

• Wellington International Students Excellence Awards showcase the value of international education

  Established in 2016, the Wellington International Student Excellence Awards, held by WellingtonNZ, recognise high-achieving international students based in the Wellington region.

  Awardees included Academic Excellence Award winner and Whitireia NZ/WelTec student Matthew Hitchener from England, who was honoured for his project introducing pelvic binders to paramedic services in Wellington. Pelvic binders are commonly used overseas to compress the pelvis to prevent bleeding in those with a pelvic fracture. After a successful trial on a LifeFlight helicopter, the binders will soon be launched on all Wellington Free Ambulances.

  WellingtonNZ Workforce and Business Growth Manager, Matt Carrere, says the awards show both what the Wellington region can offer international students, as well as the vast contribution students make to the region in return.

  “Wellington is an interconnected, social and diverse region where international students learn and thrive. It’s unsurprising that many choose to remain here after their studies to pursue a career.”

  The awards also recognised individuals and organisations that work to welcome international students to the region.

  PhD candidate at Victoria University of Wellington, Anna-Marie White, received the Internationalisation Award – Domestic Student for organising regular PhD writing workshops (or ‘bootcamps’) with international students.

  She was nominated by a group of PhD candidates from around the world, who said: “Anna has expressed her manaakitanga to her international friends and has increased our feeling of home, our love of New Zealand, and our passion for our research. Bootcamp will always be the highlight of our PhD studies, and Anna is a member of the Wellington community that you can be incredibly proud of.”

  This year’s Internationalisation Workplace Award went to Wellington tech company MarginFuel for offering employment and internships to 20 international students and graduates.

  “MarginFuel offers the students opportunities to further their careers, and in return we have found the students are intelligent, hard-working and add a rich layer to our team culture,” CEO Andrew Pascoe says. “New hires especially comment on how culturally diverse we are, and how this adds so much to the organisation.”

• Update from Immigration New Zealand

  Planning for the next student visa application peak

  Immigration New Zealand (INZ) is now entering the next peak of student visa applications. 

  INZ say they are in a good space to process the predicted volume of student visa applications. As part of planning, they have validated their predicted numbers of applications with the sector.  

  "Thanks to the sector peak bodies who circulated the survey on our behalf, we received 99 responses and now have information on the numbers of offers of place already issued to potential students. This has helped us match our resources to the predicted volume for the peak,” INZ National Manager Education and Tourism Jeannie Melville says.

  “The queue of student applications from earlier this year has been cleared in Mumbai. Applications are now being allocated to an Immigration Officer for assessment within ten working days.”

  Getting applications in early

  INZ strongly recommends potential students continue to submit their applications as early as possible – at least eight weeks ahead of a person’s intended travel date.

  However, applications can be submitted up to four months ahead of intended travel.

  First time visa application checklist

  There is now a checklist available to help people submitting a student visa application for the first time. It provides guidance on what they need to do to ensure they are submitting a decision-ready application, which should reduce the likelihood of it missing information.

  ‘’Longer term, the international networks and cross-cultural skills that they bring back home will enhance and strengthen our future workforce. Their experiences benefit New Zealand at a national level and improve our ability to engage and connect with Asia and Latin America.

  ‘’The Prime Minister’s Scholarships support the Government’s goal of a thriving and globally connected New Zealand through world-class international education,” Chris Hipkins said.

  Of the successful applicants in this round, 114 will travel on an individual scholarship and 138 will travel as part of a group.

• Kiwi scholars to gain international skills

  The scholarships, funded by the New Zealand Government and administered by Education New Zealand, support recent graduates or current students to undertake study, research or internships at institutions in Latin America and Asia, including Brazil, Mexico, China, India and Japan.

  Awardees in this round (2019-2020 Round Two) are in fields including languages, law, business, health, sustainability and the arts. They will attend for periods ranging from four weeks to one year.

  The scholarships enable a wide range of educational experiences, including: a cultural exchange and internship programme for Māori and Pasifika graduates in Vietnam; a group of arts and design students who will attend a course on the economic and cultural significance of modest fashion at the Islamic Fashion Institute in Indonesia; and an internship with an Indian charity supporting the health and education of street children in Jaipur.  

  ‘’A key aspect of international education is sending New Zealand learners out to the world to gain all-important global skills and experience,’’ says ENZ’s Director Student Experience and Global Citizens, Partnerships and Marketing, Sahinde Pala.

  “When they return, they bring new perspectives and expertise with them, helping to grow New Zealand’s international networks and inter-cultural awareness.’’

  Most awardees undertake programmes that can be credited back to their New Zealand qualification. Similarly, international internships are usually part of their home institution’s work integrated learning programme, Sahinde says.

  Background

  PMSA and PMSLA support the Government’s International Education Strategy: to build a thriving and globally connected New Zealand through international education.

  A total of 2,399 young New Zealanders have taken part since the programme was launched in 2013, initially for Asia (PMSA), and extended to Latin American (PMSLA) in 2016.

• Refresh of ENZ Recognised Agency programme

  The ENZ Recognised Agency is a programme focused on identifying and engaging with proven, committed and ethical education agencies. It was re-launched in late 2018.

  ENZ is dedicated to increasing engagement with quality education agencies that have demonstrated a long-term commitment to promoting New Zealand as an international study destination and are successfully placing students at New Zealand education providers. 

  The Recognised Agency programme intends to allow ENZ to better, and more regularly, interact with high-quality education agents. While it is not a regulatory programme, it is anticipated that education providers and prospective students will have a higher level of confidence in the quality, expertise and commitment of a Recognised Agency.

  Recognised Agencies are able to display the above logo.

  Go to our StudyinNewZealand website to view the refreshed list. For queries regarding education agents, please email: agenthelp@enz.govt.nz.
