  • 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).

  • New Export Education Levy rates released

    The levy rate for PTEs will increase from 0.45% to 0.89% of international student tuition fees, and from 0.45% to 0.50% for universities, ITPs and private schools (the levy paid by state- and state-integrated schools remains unchanged for 2019).

    The new rates take effect from 1 January 2019. Payments for trimester one 2019 will be at the new rates while payments made in January or February 2019 for trimester three 2018 will be at the old rate.

    The levy is collected from providers to fund a broad range of activities including marketing and promotion. It also funds reimbursements for international students caught out by Private Training Establishment (PTE) programme and provider closures.

    The levy fund almost ran out this year due to pay-outs resulting from closures at PTEs.

    Consultation on proposed changes to raise the EEL rate took place from 18 September to 15 October 2018.

    “We have listened to feedback from the sector and have decided on a balanced approach to address some of the key concerns raised during consultation, including the financial impacts on the sector, while continuing to address the immediate financial pressures on the EELs,” said Education Minister Chris Hipkins.

    “This is the first increase to the EEL in its 15 years. The Ministry of Education is doing its bit by reducing annual expenditure commitments against the levy by $300,000.”

    Further work is being done to investigate ways to address other sector concerns, including recognising quality in the PTE sector. Any changes would be the subject of consultation with the sector.

    For further information, see Mr Hipkins’ announcement on the Beehive website.

  • Future Proof 2.0 campaign increases student engagement

    While ENZ’s first Future Proof campaign in March 2018 was designed to raise awareness of New Zealand’s ranking as first in the world for preparing students for the future, Future Proof 2.0 evolved to focus on lead conversion. To do this, ENZ showcased some of the exceptional teachers and academics who make New Zealand’s education system world leading.

    The result was a 42 percent increase in active visits on the Study in New Zealand website and over 9,000 new leads to the ENZ database, which is a 208 percent increase compared with Future Proof 1.0.

    “While the majority of these leads are interested in bachelor’s or master’s degrees, there was an increase in students interested in New Zealand secondary schools too. In fact, it was the biggest interest in schools that we’ve seen from a campaign to date," says Patrick Holden, ENZ’s Digital Media Project Manager.

    “Furthermore, we polled users of the Future Proof landing page asking ‘How likely are you to consider studying abroad in New Zealand’ – over 82% said they were either ‘very likely’ or ‘somewhat likely’ to choose New Zealand. That’s a fantastic result.”

    Thirty-eight percent of users of the Study in New Zealand website said they’re intending to leave to study abroad within 1-6 months, followed by 25% within 6-12 months and 37% one or two years away.

    “As many of these students are still in the consideration/research phase of deciding on a country to study abroad, our database marketing enables us to engage with these students to promote New Zealand.

    ENZ’s Facebook followers were also highly engaged with the campaign content, with an 11.8% engagement rate (nearly double the 6% benchmark). Messenger inquiries from prospective students showed interest in master’s education, praise for New Zealand’s teaching quality and questions about student visa requirements.

    “These specific enquiries indicate the audience is moving through the conversion process, from discovering New Zealand to deciding on a study programme here,” says Patrick.

    “This is a result of having an accurate targeting strategy in place to help attract the right type of student leads.”
