    Germany’s international student strategy pays off as the Big Four retreat

    For decades, the global map of international education looked remarkably stable. Students seeking a degree abroad overwhelmingly chose one of four destinations: the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada or Australia. Together, those countries built vast international education industries worth tens of billions of dollars annually. But the map is beginning to change.

  • Announcing closing plenary speaker for NZIEC KI TUA 2024

    Drawing on his experience leading health care organisations and the health system in Aotearoa New Zealand, including during periods of significant change and uncertainty, Sir Ashley’s closing plenary session will focus on how to lead effectively now and in the future. He will talk to NZIEC KI TUA delegates about ‘leading through change and uncertainty’.   

    “We live in an increasingly volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world, which needs leaders to be agile and adaptable who can lead using different approaches than what we have used in the past. I am looking forward to speaking at NZIEC KI TUA on how we can lead in a world of rapid change and complexity,” Sir Ashley said. 
     

    Lead with Stories workshop by Jehan Casinader  

    Award-winning journalist and speaker, Jehan Casinader, will run a workshop, Lead with Stories at NZIEC KI TUA on 7 August. Casinader has spent 15 years telling compelling stories that resonate with people from all walks of life. He has a thorough understanding of New Zealand’s international education sector – and a degree in public policy.  

    Casinader says storytelling makes global influence possible.  

    “As New Zealand revives its international education sector, leaders and organisations will work harder than ever to engage the hearts and minds of students and partners around the world.  

    “However, in an increasingly noisy digital world, it’s harder to grab people’s attention.  

    "Traditional marketing no longer cuts it. And yet, many of us lack the confidence and skills to tell stories – or we’re afraid to. As a result, our most important messages are never heard,” Casinader says.  

    In his workshop, Casinader will share practical tools that helps leaders and staff from across the sector to tell compelling stories.  

    The NZIEC KI TUA 2024 programme will be available in July.

  • March update from Immigration New Zealand 

    Update on Student visa processing*   

    Since New Zealand’s international borders reopened in August 2022, Immigration New Zealand (INZ) has received 29,228 student visa applications from international students outside of New Zealand. We have completed 24,549 of these applications.  

    Our recent processing times for international student visa applications are published on our website. These are updated each month: Visa processing times for international students | Immigration New Zealand 

    *Figures current as at 10pm on 6 March 2023.   

    Impact of Cyclone Gabrielle on international students 

    We are aware that some education providers' campuses have been damaged by Cyclone Gabrielle and have been forced to close temporarily. 

    This affects students’ immigration status because their current student visa requires them to attend the place of study specified on the visa which may not be currently possible. We understand that this is a difficult time, and we would like to help. An information sheet has been developed for affected international students and can be found here. 

    Approval in Principle timeframe 

    We have shortened the standard length of time we allow most offshore students to provide a tuition fee receipt (or other financial evidence) from ten to five working days to encourage students to complete the final steps of their student visa application quickly. We understand that some students may not be able to provide evidence in the timeframe they are given due to their individual circumstances. Extensions to this timeframe are available – the student or agent just needs to upload a brief letter explaining how much longer they will require and why. 

    Tuition fees 

    We would like to remind you that changes to the requirements for tuition fee payment evidence for students were introduced last year as part of the Immigration Rebalance.  

    Students need to pay tuition fees for the first year, or first programme of study (whichever is the shorter), and they will have to prove personal/maintenance funds for the same period. We do not accept payment of tuition fees by instalment; the only exception is for some aviation students. 

    Agent declaration 

    If you are providing advice or assistance with a student visa application - DECLARE yourself in the application. Education agents outside New Zealand are permitted to give immigration advice on student visas but must declare themselves in the application. We are seeing increasing numbers of agents not declaring themselves and these applications may take longer to process as a result.  

    INZ is intending to resume reporting on agent visa approval rates later this year, probably in September/October. If you are not declaring your involvement in an application, this will have an impact on your publicly available performance information. Education providers in New Zealand will be encouraged to check the agent performance report. 

  • Second round of German academic exchange funding programme launching in April

    ENZ and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) will launch the second round of the German academic exchange funding programme on 5 April after the programme’s successful first round.

    Funding will be available to researchers at higher education institutions in Germany and New Zealand. ENZ will fund early-career academics from New Zealand universities and Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology to travel to Germany, specifically students who are close to completing their PhD and academics who completed their PhD in the last five years.

    With the objective of growing the number of applications in 2023, ENZ has decided to move to a model of providing funding up to NZ$12,500 per year for up to two years, without the need for applicants to show any other sources of funding.

    The German academic exchange programme is the result of the signing of a Programmes for Project-Related Personal Exchange (PPP) arrangement between ENZ and DAAD in November 2021 to strengthen academic relations between New Zealand and Germany and promote complementary research activities.

    ENZ’s Market Development Manager – Europe, Adina Stoye, said the programme had done much to grow academic collaboration between New Zealand and Germany through the partnership with DAAD, which is the world’s largest funding organisation for the international exchange of students and researchers.

    “We are pleased with the success of the first round of the programme and are looking forward to seeing more applications for the second round launching in April.

    “As an incentive to encourage more participation, applicants are no longer required to show any other sources of funding,” Stoye said.

    Ahead of the programme’s launch, ENZ has organised an online information session on Tuesday 4 April at 7pm NZT (9 am CEST).

    For more information on New Zealand German academic exchange programme and to apply, please visit this link.

    You can register to take part in the information session on 4 April here.

    If you have any questions, please contact ENZ’s Market Development Manager – Europe, Adina Stoye on adina.stoye@enz.govt.nz.
