  • Massey University’s virtual exchange programme a first for New Zealand

    The first virtual exchange with the University of North Georgia (UNG) began in the first semester of 2020. It focuses on Defence and Security Studies courses at both institutions. 

    “Students benefit by being able to take unique courses for no additional fees from an overseas partner while continuing their studies at their home institution,” Massey University’s Manager of Student Mobility, Greg Huff, says. “The universities benefit by being able to expand their offering of courses and subject areas, while also building linkages with other international partners.”

    Massey University worked with the Ministry of Education to create New Zealand’s first virtual exchange scheme in 2019, before the effects of COVID-19 began to be felt in the international education sector.

    Huff says the exchange began as a way to expand and enhance its students’ academic experiences. Massey expects the demand for virtual exchange opportunities to grow as tertiary providers around the globe continue responding to changes brought on by the pandemic.

    “As the demand for virtual learning opportunities increases due to COVID-19, this is a great opportunity for an institution with a proven track record in the virtual learning space to show institutions around the world what Massey and other New Zealand providers have to offer.” ENZ’s Director of Engagement in the US, DuBois Jennings.

    Other New Zealand institutions can also benefit by using the structure approved by the Ministry of Education to set up their own virtual exchanges.

  • Strong start for Cohort 4 international students

    Already more than 3,500 international students have been nominated by their education providers and confirmed by education agencies.  More than 1,900 of these students have had their Request for Travel approved and have been invited by Immigration New Zealand to apply for their student visas, since the process opened on 13 April 2022. 

    Places remain available for students with a number of ELS and PTE providers. Only education providers can nominate students for this cohort. Interested international students or their agents should contact ELS or PTEs as soon as possible. Of the 5,000 places in this cohort, 1,000 were allocated to ELS and 850 to PTEs, with the remainder going to universities, Te Pūkenga, and secondary schools.  

    Once they have been nominated by an education provider and confirmed by education agencies, students have two weeks to make their Request for Travel through the Immigration New Zealand website. Following approval of the Request for Travel, students then have one month to complete and submit a student visa application to Immigration New Zealand, in time for a mid-year start for their studies.  

    Education providers are due to complete their nominations by 6 May 2022.  Any unused places will be transferred to other providers, which means that some providers may get additional places as part of the reallocation process. 

    This is the fourth cohort of international students to be granted a border exception to enter New Zealand and is part of the progressive reopening of our borders. All visa categories are due to reopen from October 2022 onwards, including visitor and student visas. 

    For more information on this cohort of international students, see Cohort 4 » Education NZ (enz.govt.nz)
