  • New travel rules for NZ coming soon

    NZeTA

    From 1 October, some international visitors and transit passengers must have an NZeTA (New Zealand Electronic Travel Authority) before travelling to New Zealand.

    The NZeTA is a new border security measure. It is not a visa and does not guarantee entry to New Zealand.

    From 1 October 2019, travellers must have authority to travel to New Zealand. This means they must hold one of the following:

    • An NZeTA (or an NZeTA exemption)
    • A visa                                                                                                      
    • Citizenship of New Zealand or Australia.

    What does this mean for international students?

    People who are planning to come to New Zealand to complete a short-term course will need to apply for an NZeTA if they are coming from a visa waiver country. Friends and family planning to visit students in New Zealand will also need one, as well as education agents visiting on business.

    International students who require a visa to study will not need an NZeTA. 

    Travel agents, student agents and schools can assist international students with applying for the NZeTA by downloading the NZeTA mobile app or visiting the Immigration New Zealand website.

    There is a small fee attached: NZD$9 for mobile app requests and NZD$12 for website requests.

    The only official way to request an NZeTA is through Immigration New Zealand. Travellers should be advised not to request an NZeTA through any unauthorised third party.

    Visit the Immigration New Zealand website here for more information.

  • Kiwis team up at AIEC 2018

    Held 9-12 October at the new International Convention Centre in Sydney, the theme for AIEC 2018 was ‘empowering a new generation’ and featured a diverse range of Australian and international speakers. With some 1,600 attendees, it was the largest AIEC to date.  

    ENZ joined the strong New Zealand contingent there, including 40 representatives from seven New Zealand universities and Ara Institute of Canterbury.

    Greg Scott, ENZ’s General Manager, Industry Development said it was a good opportunity to look at international education approaches across the ditch. 

    “The conference sessions provided valuable insights for participants on approaches from Australia, such as work-integrated learning and employability, internationalisation, transnational education and professional development for international education practitioners.” 

    Hayley Shields, ENZ’s Director Student Experience, noted that many Australian international education representatives were impressed by New Zealand’s approach to the sector. 

    “The industry in Australia is taking a keen interest in the New Zealand government’s strategic approach to sustainable growth, and our student-centred approach to experience and development of global citizens.” 

    As well as presentations from a number of our industry representatives, ENZ provided a New Zealand perspective through a number of sessions: 

    • Hayley appeared on a panel discussing innovative models of social inclusion and community engagement, while Ross Crosson, ENZ’s Student Experience Manager, took a deep dive into work led by ENZ’s Student Experience team, which garnered lots of interest and follow-up questions. 

    • Anna Dekker, ENZ Scholarships, joined Catherine Stephens (University of Auckland Careers team) and Kate Moore (Academic internship Council) to present how the Prime Minister’s scholarships are an enabler for international internship programmes. 

    • ENZ Business Development Managers Richard Kyle and Mary Camp explored the role of SIEBA in the international schools sector and the benefits of a strong and transparent sector/government partnership. 

    • Greg Scott joined Rebecca Hall, International Education leader for Austrade, to facilitate a New Zealand-Australia Roundtable meeting with participation from Austrade, Department of Education and Training, International Education Association Australia (IEAA), New Zealand Ministry of Education, NZQA, Immigration NZ, Universities New Zealand and ENZ. They explored the potential for aligning activity in professional development, research and industry practices in areas of mutual advantage. An action plan is being considered to guide initial priorities during the next year. 

     

  • Calling all China research specialists

    Since its inception in 2005, the Tripartite Fund supports the development of strategic research relationships between New Zealand and China.

    Universities are invited to submit proposals for the latest round, with up to $30,000 available per application to support quality, high-level research and collaboration. The fund seeks to initiate new tripartite partnerships and facilitate the development of existing partnerships between a New Zealand university and two Chinese “Two Brother” partner universities.

    Eligible Tripartite Fund subjects now include the arts, humanities, social sciences, sciences and applied sciences. These are now in addition to the original categories of agriculture, food safety, conservation, forestry, advanced materials engineering and environmental science.

    The Tripartite Fund has enabled many high-achieving New Zealand academics to develop relationships with Chinese research partners.

    Shihezi University, Peking University and Massey University signed the first Tripartite Agreement in China in 2005. Professor Hugh Blair of Massey University was awarded a prestigious China Friendship Award in 2016 for his research and collaboration on animal science with Chinese universities and institutions. The initial relationship has expanded to now include the Chinese Academy of Science, the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps, the Xinjiang Academy of Animal Science and the Hebei Agricultural University.

    “My working relationship with China has grown out of the Tripartite Fund and helped make longstanding partnerships possible,” said Professor Blair.

    The deadline for applications is 2 March 2018, with a project start date of 1 May 2018, and end date of 30 April 2019.

  • Study in New Zealand wins Weibo award

    Sina is one of China’s biggest online media companies, operating four major business lines, including Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like microblogging social network that has over 500 million users worldwide.

    The Study in New Zealand Weibo page was launched in August 2014 with the goals of growing brand awareness, attracting prospective students and engaging New Zealand alumni in China. It is managed by a China-based social media agency in partnership with the ENZ’s Marketing and Channel Development team.

    On our award, Sina noted: “[Study in New Zealand is] focused on growing student numbers and the public understanding of New Zealand education. [Study in New Zealand’s Weibo account] helps Chinese students easily understand and select the appropriate New Zealand [institutions] so that they enjoy a pleasant study abroad [experience].”

  • Whakatipu Scholarships for indigenous students in Malaysia

    The Whakatipu Scholarships, funded by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) and UM, aim to empower talented young indigenous students at the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) and encourage knowledge sharing. As part of their scholarship, the three students will have free access to te reo Māori courses via one of our online learning platforms, FutureLearn.

    Two of the recipients, Diana Bah Said and Norazah Din, are of Semai ethnicity and are enrolled in East Asian Studies. The third student, Scholastica Philip, is of Kadazan descent and is  enrolled in Environmental Studies.

    Deputy High Commissioner of New Zealand to Malaysia Sharmila Bernau said the Whakatipu Scholarship was established to recognise the indigenous community, and support diversity and inclusion.

    “‘Whakatipu’ in the Māori language means to stimulate or nurture growth. It stems from the Māori word ‘tipu’ which means shoot or new growth, like that from a seed.

    “Thus, the scholarship symbolises nourishing its recipients, allowing them to become strong and confident through learning and exchange,” she said at the award ceremony.

    FASS dean Prof Datuk Dr Danny Wong Tze Ken said that the scholarship would support the students during their undergraduate degrees while preparing them for lifelong learning.

    “It is a thoughtfully structured scholarship, where all of these carefully considered components of the programme will provide structures and networks to nurture, encourage and assist them while they complete their undergraduate degrees, develop life skills, cultivate career ambitions and embark on a lifetime of learning,” he said.

    Ben Burrowes (ENZ) was invited to join in a traditional dance as part of the Whakatipu Scholarships award ceremony.

    ENZ Regional Director Ben Burrowes said he hoped the scholarships would ease the students’ journeys at university and strengthen indigenous links with New Zealand and te Ao Māori.

    The scholarships are part of the Education Cooperation Arrangement signed between Education New Zealand with Universiti Malaya in 2021.
