2026 International Student Experience Survey fieldwork is now live
Fieldwork for the 2026 International Student Experience Survey (ISES) is now underway, having launched on Monday 20 April. International students across all New Zealand education subsectors are being invited to share their views on key aspects of the student journey – from choosing where to study and preparing for arrival, through to orientation, education quality, living experiences, connections, work opportunities and value for money.
Last year, more than 5,000 international students shared their experiences of studying in New Zealand.
Key highlights included:
• 87% rated their overall experience positively, with 43% rating it ‘excellent’
• 92% rated their experience of people and connections positivelyThese results reflect the strength of New Zealand’s international education offering and the collective effort across the sector to enhance the international student experience.
The ISES plays a vital role in building a robust, sector-wide picture of the international student experience.
We would like to sincerely thank the international education sector peak bodies and education providers who are supporting the survey and helping to maximise student participation.
Survey fieldwork will run until late May, and we look forward to sharing the insights from this year’s survey with the sector later in 2026.
If you have any questions about the survey, please get in touch with ENZ’s Senior Insights Analyst, Kyla Steenhart at kyla.steenhart@enz.govt.nz.

India to feature as Country of Honour at NZIEC KI TUA
The Country of Honour designation at NZIEC KI TUA celebrates New Zealand’s international education connections with partner countries and reflects one of the conference’s key values – hononga (connections).
ENZ’s Acting Chief Executive, Dr Linda Sissons, said ENZ is delighted to headline India at NZIEC KI TUA and build on the strong foundation of international education connections with partners in the country.
“Students from India are the second-largest group studying with New Zealand. We are enriched by the skills and research know-how that Indian students bring to our country. New Zealand has a number of valuable institutional and government-level partnerships that make for a strong, bilateral education relationship with India.
“We look forward to showcasing and celebrating these connections at NZIEC KI TUA 2024.”
ENZ’s Regional Director Asia (excluding China), Ben Burrowes, said having India feature as Country of Honour is a valuable opportunity for the international education sector to contribute to the conference programme with sessions that surface insights and learnings focused on India.
“New Zealand and India have such a broad education relationship, from student recruitment and student experience to partnerships on an institutional and governmental level. There’s much to surface and share by way of insights to continue forging our strong education ties.
“We look forward to collaborating with our sector colleagues to deliver a conference programme that showcases these connections and explores new partnerships moving forward.”
NZIEC KI TUA delegates can look forward to programme elements that explore and surface insights from New Zealand’s international education connections with India and also experience a few cultural delights during conference.
ENZ General Manager International, Lisa Futschek, and IIM Ahmedabad Director Prof Bharat Bhaskar sign an education cooperation arrangement during the NZ India Education Connect initiative in February.
