  • What happens after graduation?

    “While the majority of international students are taking their New Zealand university education into the global workplace, it is positive that nearly half are staying here - at least for a period of time,” says Grant McPherson, Chief Executive of Education New Zealand.

    “It suggests that there are opportunities in New Zealand for young skilled people, and is great news for employers who will have a more diverse pool of  graduates to draw from in order to meet any skill shortages.”  

    Highlights:

    • 48% of international graduates returned to live in their country of origin
    • 43% of international graduates remained to work in New Zealand
    • 9% international graduates currently live elsewhere overseas

    Nearly 9,000 final-year university students participated in the baseline survey in 2011, and 70 per cent of these completed the first follow-up survey in 2014.  Some nine per cent were international students.

    The survey is part of the Graduate Longitudinal Study New Zealand (GLSNZ) which aims to determine how the lives and career goals of students are progressing. Over 80 per cent of the participants say they are currently employed.

    The study was commissioned by Universities New Zealand with funding support from the  Ministry of Education and Ministry of Women’s Affairs.  It  is being carried out by the Dunedin-based  National Centre for Lifecourse Research.

    The researchers will complete further follow-up surveys five and 10 years after graduation.

  • Rise in international students rating New Zealand experience positively

    In the 2024 International Student Experience Survey, students lifted their positive rating of their experience to 86 percent, two percent higher than the previous year.  

    In addition, the number of students who rated their experience as “excellent” lifted eight percent to 41 percent. 

    The results were announced today at the international education sector conference, NZIEC KI TUA, which was organised by Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ). 

    Commenting on the survey results, ENZ Acting Chief Executive Dr Linda Sissons said the results demonstrate the high quality of the New Zealand education experience both inside and outside the classroom. 

    “That we have a significant increase in the number of students rating their overall New Zealand experience as excellent is something to be celebrated. The results are a reassuring testament to the ongoing recovery of the sector and our ability to deliver international students what they highly value in a study destination.  

    “We are delighted to see how positive students are about the people they meet and connections they form in New Zealand. This speaks strongly to the enriching ties these students will have to our country in the long run, and how we will benefit and learn from each other,” Dr Sissons said. 

    2024 sees the highest proportion of international students (41 percent) rating their overall New Zealand experience as ‘excellent’, up from 33 percent in 2023. This proportion is higher than any of the previous three surveys undertaken. This year also includes a much larger sample of 6,431 students compared to 4,755 students last year.  

    Students were most positive about the people and connections they experienced in New Zealand (90%), followed by education experience (87%), making study arrangements (87%), arrival and orientation (85%), and living experience (83%).  

    Students also positively rated their experience using an education agent, particularly their agent’s knowledge of their education provider’s application process (84%), New Zealand application options (81%) and how using an education agent reduced the time taken to complete their application (79%).

The survey also aims to understand where improvements can be made to enhance the international student experience.
