New Zealand strengthens its position as a study abroad destination for Brazilians
Figures from the 10th annual Brazilian Educational and Language Travel Association (Belta) Seal Survey 2025 show that New Zealand has climbed to the sixth most chosen destination by Brazilians studying abroad – compared to seventh place in 2024.
The survey ran from February to April this year and brought together insights from 586 education agencies and 1,780 students from across Brazil to understand trends, behaviours, and preferences in the international education sector.
At the survey launch in May, ENZ Market Development Manager, Bruna de Natale, discussed the country’s growing relevance as a study destination for Brazilian students.
Speaking at the survey launch event in May, ENZ Market Development Manager, Bruna de Natale said "The data shows that New Zealand has not only maintained its appeal but has also strengthened its position on the radar of Brazilian students, especially amid uncertainties in other markets."
Dive into the data
Language courses remain the most sought-after programs, accounting for 91% of preferences among the agencies surveyed.
Why Brazilian students are choosing New Zealand
According to the data, the main factors driving the choice of New Zealand as a destination are:
-
High quality of life and safety
-
Academic excellence with a focus on innovation
-
Ease of obtaining a student visa
-
Permission to work while studying
-
Economically and socially stable environment
In addition, the growing demand for enriching cultural experiences, closer contact with nature, and the opportunity to develop socio-emotional skills has placed New Zealand in the spotlight — particularly among students who value a comprehensive education.
Additional insights from New Zealand-focused questions
A complementary survey, also conducted between February and April 2025 with 586 education agencies and 1,780 students across Brazil, highlighted specific factors influencing the decision to study in New Zealand.
The survey revealed that 75% of respondents who showed interest in New Zealand also considered it one of their top study destinations — ahead of countries like the United Kingdom and Canada. Students associate New Zealand with high-quality education, a good international reputation for its institutions, and globally recognised qualifications.
Additionally, New Zealand stands out for offering work opportunities during and after studies, socio-emotional skill development, and access to nature and outdoor activities — these factors align with current student preferences for holistic and life-enriching study abroad experiences.
