  • US series studies Massey education

    Four half-hour TV segments and YouTube clips profile Massey’s education and research expertise in food safety, New Zealand society, aviation and veterinary medicine.

    Filming took place at the Manawatu campus in early July, and will be broadcast on America’s East Coast in August.

    US host, educational consultant and author Steven Roy Goodman has visited countries all around the world, portraying different aspects of the university sector. However, this is his first time filming in the Southern Hemisphere. The series has screened 123 episodes to date.

    “It’s an educational show where I aim to bring the ideas and news of universities around the world to the general public in the best way I can,” said Steven.

    Steven singled out the veterinary medicine discussion as one that would be of particular interest to students from the United States because of the Massey Veterinary School’s American Veterinary and Medical Association (AVMA) accreditation.

    Steven was also fascinated by the discussion on New Zealand society and Massey’s new BA degree with the head of the School of Māori Art, Knowledge and Education (Te Pūtahi-a-Toi) Professor Meihana Durie, and Pro Vice-Chancellor of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Distinguished Professor Paul Spoonley.

    “For me the discussion on New Zealand society was particularly eye-opening and not at all what I originally envisioned – I don’t think people in the US know a great deal about New Zealand society, but I think they will be introduced to it now,” said Steven.

    Project leader and International Development Manager for Massey, Bruce Graham, says the project will help promote Massey’s research, Study Abroad opportunities and specialist degree programmes in the US.

    “This will also add to the growing reputation of New Zealand’s wider university sector, and the capability and expertise of these institutions.”

    The TV episodes can be found on YouTube, and will also be included in Massey’s webpages and social media sites. You can view them below:

  • From Hanoi to Hamilton – Vietnamese PM visits New Zealand

    Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and his delegation (including media) visited New Zealand from 12 to 14 March.

    Education featured prominently during the visit, with the highlight being a refreshed Strategic Engagement Plan on Education signed by the Vietnamese Vice-Minister of Education, Assoc. Pro. Dr Nguyen Van Phuc and John Goulter, ENZ General Manager Stakeholders and Communications. The signing was witnessed by Prime Minister Phuc and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern, who both endorsed the plan’s target to increase Vietnamese students studying in New Zealand by 30 per cent by 2020.

    The engagement plan on education was first signed in 2015 during former Prime Minister JohnJohn G Key’s visit to Viet Nam and was up for renewal this year.

    John Goulter said the agreement positions education as a cornerstone of both countries’ bilateral relationship.

    “The plan shifts the New Zealand–Viet Nam education relationship to the strategic level by focusing on activities that are of mutual benefit and captures the full range of activities in the education relationship.”

    AUT held a Vietnamese community event during the visit and, as part of a business forum in Auckland, signed two agreements with Viet Nam National University Ho Chi Minh City (VNU HCMC) and with Hanoi University (HANU).

    At the University of Waikato, Prime Minister Phuc spoke to students and university staff about the importance of education in the Viet Nam-New Zealand relationship, alongside Professor Neil Quigley, Vice Chancellor University of Waikato, and Charles Finny, ENZ Chairman.

    The University of Waikato signed agreements with Vietnamese partners Viet Nam Social Security, VNU HCMC, HANU and Hanoi University of Science.

    The visit received significant coverage in the Vietnamese media.

  • Five steps to studying in New Zealand

    Lucia Alarcon, ENZ International Digital Project Manager, says the tool was developed to better support prospective international students, who often find it hard to know where to begin.

    “Choosing to study abroad is a big decision, so we want to make it easier for students to start the process by breaking the study abroad journey into five easy steps.

    “Research tells us that breaking down a decision into steps makes people more likely to start the process. User testing has shown our 5 Steps guide is a compelling way to encourage students to get started on their New Zealand study adventure.”

    Using appealing graphics and simple language, the five steps cover study options, budgeting, applying for a course, applying for a visa and departure.

    Each step guides students to relevant content on the SiNZ website, leading them to a wider range of pages. It also directs students to content added to SiNZ in recent months, such as the Cost of Living and Explore NZ pages.
