  • Visa advice for international graduates

    Catherine Albiston, Registrar of the IAA, says that any students seeking immigration advice about their options to stay in New Zealand following their studies must use an Immigration Adviser licensed by the IAA, or an exempt person such as a New Zealand lawyer.

    “If students need personalised immigration help, it is important they only seek it from people who can legally give it,” says Catherine.

    “Holding an immigration adviser licence means the individual has met competency standards and must be professional.” 

    The IAA’s register of licensed immigration advisers can be found here.

    “Visa applicants need to be honest with Immigration New Zealand and declare any help received when completing a visa application form,” says Catherine.

    “If applicants are not honest, the visa application may be declined and Immigration New Zealand may refuse future visa applications.”

    For more information, visit the IAA’s website or email info@iaa.govt.nz. 

    Further visa information is available on the Immigration New Zealand website.

  • We’re on the way back

    ENZ’s Director of Insights, Marie Clark says interest in New Zealand as an education destination remains high, and the numbers contained in the April 2023 Insights Story back her up. 

    • Traffic to the Study with New Zealand website leapt from 75,000 users in November 2022 to 295,000 users in February 2023. 
    • At the beginning of March there were nearly 34,000 international student visa holders, up 98% since our borders opened. 
    • Overall application approvals return to around two thirds of pre-pandemic levels 

    In December 2022, ENZ moved into Phase 2 of the I AM NEW campaign. This involved moving to an ‘always-on’ approach that focuses on the individual stories of the students involved in the campaign which targets potential international students and their parents across 10 markets. With a mix of paid digital advertising across Google, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, DV360, WeChat and Bilibili, the campaign reached an audience of 57 million outside China and a further 19 million within China. Clicks on the campaign’s digital advertisements totalled 1.2 million and 109,000 respectively. 

    New Zealand’s largest source of international students also comes into the spotlight with an updated China Insights dashboard which presents key data and commentary to help readers understand the current state of the market. Other insights contained in the report highlight: 

    • international education competitor destination growth in 2022, 
    • agents’ perspectives of New Zealand, and  
    • analysis of the potential for older professionals whose focus on learning to help their career success is balanced by their preference to continue this study from within their home country. 

    Included in the report is analysis of domestic perceptions of how beneficial international education and students are to New Zealand, and newly released analysis of the broader impact of the sector on the New Zealand economy and communities. 

    The full Insight Story for April 2023 will be available on Intellilab shortly. You can sign up to Intellilab here.

  • NZQA update for Thai students

    The Council of University Presidents Thailand has agreed to support continuation of the NCEA Level 2 - Matthayom 6 qualifications recognition arrangement, whereby Thai universities will continue to use the equivalence criteria to make their admission decisions.

    This arrangement provides two options for students to meet requirements for NCEA Level 2 - Matthayom 6 equivalency. Students who meet either of these options are eligible to apply for study at a Thai university under the Thai University Central Admission System.

    The criteria for these options can be found on the NZQA website, which should be used to advise students on their programme planning and subject choices.

  • English New Zealand 2017 Conference success

    Held in Auckland, “The Future Face of ELT in New Zealand” featured presentations on all aspects of best practice in the ELT environment: the academic and teaching context, assessment, marketing, management and pastoral care.

    Sahinde Pala, ENZ’s Business Development Manager, said the event had something insightful for everyone across the sector.

    “The programme was well designed to cater to the various English language professionals who attended, and the line-up of presenters was impressive,” said Sahinde.

    “It was particularly motivational to hear ACG’s Marnie Watson endorse collaborative marketing to ensure the profile of New Zealand’s quality reputation is raised even further.”

    Also joining the conference was an English New Zealand famil group of study abroad agency representatives from Spain, Italy and France. 

    Kim Renner, English New Zealand’s Executive Director said as well as visiting member schools around New Zealand, the representatives appreciated the chance to network and give a market presentation to conference delegates.

    “Visiting New Zealand in person to see what we offer is invaluable to them,” said Kim. 

    “They provided insights around the use of social media and not underestimating the important role study abroad agencies play in assisting students with their study abroad choices and planning.”

    The conference was organised by English New Zealand, with the support of ENZ, Cambridge Assessment English and the Auckland Institute of Studies.

    Before the conference, English New Zealand hosted the QALEN Symposium, a forum for representatives of ELT global quality assurance bodies, some of whom stayed on to participate in the conference.
