  • 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 positively

    These 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.

  • Summer holiday fun for Vietnamese students at the 2023 New Zealand Future Skills Camp

    At this year’s camp, in addition to NZ EdTech Code Avengers which specialises in digital skills training, Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) also worked with another NZ Ed Tech company Chasing Time English, a digital platform that enhances English language learning through exclusive short films. Three local partners were involved to help promote and deliver training sessions for the students.  

    20 teams were shortlisted for the camps which ran from Saturday 24 June to Sunday 2 July 2023. The teams could participate in a variety of online and in-person group work and interactive activities, learning coding skills together with English skills for an intercultural environment. After the camps, the teams were required to work on a coding project themed “Making a creative and impressive 'Our Future Profile' Webpage introducing your team 15-20 years from now”.

    The top eight teams with the most impressive webpages were then invited to present their products, in English, to a panel of judges on Sunday 16 July. The other teams from the 20 who were shortlisted were also invited to the Awards Ceremony held on Friday 7 July to receive certificates and announcement of the final results either in person or virtually. 

    His Excellency Mr. Scott James, New Zealand Consul General in Ho Chi Minh City, attended the Awards Ceremony. In his remarks, he said “All of the students here are already winners because you have not only surpassed many contestants to come this far, but you have also taken the courage to step out of your comfort zone and embark on this adventure to learn new skills.” 

    Assoc. Prof. Minh Nguyen, Head of Department Computer Science and Software Engineering at Auckland University of Technology, was one of the judges who evaluated the teams’ webpages and then the short-listed presentations. He commented: “It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of such an inspiring event. The creativity and innovation displayed by the teams was truly impressive.” 

    Ms. Karen Kemsley, Production Manager at Chasing Time English who taught students at online sessions, said: “I had a wonderful time with the NZ Future Skills Camp students. Everyone participated enthusiastically which made the classes both fun and engaging. They took every opportunity they could to share creative opinions and ideas while demonstrating excellent English language skills. They were an absolute delight!” 

    The 1st prize winning team, together with two 2nd prize winning teams went on to represent Viet Nam at the New Zealand – Asia Code Camp Day on 5 August with other students from Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea and Thailand.   

    NZFSC not only provided an exciting and meaningful summer event for the participating students, but also left both students and their parents with a very positive impression of Aotearoa New Zealand as an innovative, welcoming and beautiful destination for their potential international education plans.

  • New Zealand-India academic partnerships to be strengthened through proposed IITD New Zealand Centre

    It is expected that the centre will host visiting researchers and academics, act as a forum for diplomatic and trade dialogue among different sectors, and support student mobility.

    ENZ Regional Director – Asia, John Laxon says that the New Zealand Centre would be a one-of-a-kind research establishment.

    “A research-focused New Zealand Centre at IIT Delhi builds on New Zealand’s status as the preferred education destination for students, with a 71 per cent increase in Indian students choosing to study in New Zealand universities in 2019. We are committed to strengthening the research and education ties between New Zealand and India, and are excited to be partnering with a prestigious institution in IIT Delhi.”

    Dean of Alumni Affairs and International Programmes, Prof. Sanjeev Sanghi, says IIT Delhi was committed to quality education for students and pleased to be associated with New Zealand.

    “The New Zealand Centre embodies our efforts to embrace internationalisation, open up opportunities for new research collaborations and increase global exposure for our students. We look forward to collaborating more with universities from New Zealand.”

  • Ask New Anything: The campaign in China

    Ask New Anything, ENZ’s latest global, digital campaign, was launched worldwide in early October and a week later in China – after national holiday Golden Week. In China, the campaign leveraged ENZ’s strategic platforms with the help of our digital partner UMS. 

    So far, nearly 37 million Chinese have engaged with the campaign and ENZ’s following on WeChat has almost doubled as a result.

    To celebrate the success of Ask New Anything in China, we’ve broken down four of our key platforms and explained why they are important when it comes to having a presence in this part of the world.

    1. Zhihu

    ENZ is the first international education agency in the world to have an official account on Zhihu. This puts ENZ in the company of other well-known international brands such as Audi and Airbnb.

    Zhihu is the latest platform to be added to ENZ’s Chinese social portfolio. Like Quora and Reddit, Zhihu is known in China as a space for Q&As, making it a great fit for the Ask New Anything campaign.

    Visit our Zhihu account to watch a campaign video developed especially for this platform.

    2.WeChat

    It was a natural choice to promote Ask New Anything on WeChat.

    ENZ is one of the first education agencies in the world to utilise a premium format of WeChat Interactive Ads, and has engaged with 24 million users in our target groups since Ask New Anything began.

    WeChat is a mobile app that does almost everything in China. It currently has over one billion active monthly users worldwide and is growing. In China, our audiences use WeChat to connect with brands, with each other, to shop, to order taxis, the list goes on.

    ENZ has had an account on WeChat since 2014, and currently has more than 58,500 followers – including prospective Chinese students and their parents. Almost half of these began following the channel in 2019 as a result of a more targeted approach to our campaigns. Through this channel, users can explore what interests them most about studying in New Zealand.

    3. WeChat mini-programme: My StudyNZ

    ENZ added My StudyNZ to our WeChat portfolio in October 2018. This is a bespoke application developed for the platform.

    The mini-programme delivers the same course-matching experience as our global My StudyNZ platform to Chinese audiences, via WeChat.

    4. .cn website

    Earlier this year, ENZ launched a China version of the student-facing Study in New Zealand website with a China domain (.cn).

    This new website overcame issues with accessibility, performance and loading speed in China, and is optimised for Baidu (China’s largest search engine).

    5. Weibo and YouKu

    The Ask New Anything campaign also has a presence on Weibo, which remains one of China’s largest social media platforms, and on YouKu, the China equivalent of YouTube.
