  • International Student Experience Survey 2023 now open

    The International Student Experience Survey (ISES) surveys international students and alumni in Aotearoa New Zealand across all international education sub-sectors and at all stages of the student journey – from those who have just arrived in the country to those who have recently graduated.

    The ISES aims to better understand the overall international student experience to identify what is being done well, and where improvements can be made.

    It features insights and findings on nine, key aspects of the student experience journey –

    1. Decision making factors
    2. Study arrangements
    3. Arrival and orientation experience
    4. Education experience
    5. Living experience
    6. People and connections
    7. Value for money
    8. Work experience opportunities, and
    9. Future plans

    The survey targets international students via multiple channels, with the student sample including those on current student visas, post-study work visas, and those post study, but not currently on a work visa. To maximise uptake, ENZ has also engaged with sector peak bodies and education providers to distribute the survey to their students.

    Findings from previous surveys have informed ENZ’s Student Experience work, including the development of bespoke content on NauMai NZ that better serves international student needs, shaped student experience-focused outreach across government and informed partnership with community organisations.

    ENZ’s Student Experience Manager, Ross Crosson said that the ISES provides a rich data source to understand the student experience.

    “Research-informed findings must inform all our mahi. This survey helps us better understand our students’ experience living and studying in New Zealand, which can be used to inform decisions to improve that experience,” Ross said.

    “We look forward to sharing survey findings with the sector, and discussing those findings with them, later this year."

  • Future Proof assets on The Brand Lab

    The “Future Proof Yourself in New Zealand” celebrates New Zealand’s ranking as best in the world for preparing students for the future, in a report by the Economist Intelligence Unit.

    Philippa Brown, ENZ’s International Digital Content Manager, said that since the launch of the campaign in March, ENZ’s messaging has reached more than 33 million people around the world.

    “Being ranked number one in the world has given us an opportunity to catch people’s attention and highlight the quality of New Zealand’s education offering,” she said.

    “It’s a very strong message that resonates in every market. Because of this, we wanted to share the assets with the wider industry to ensure this positive message spreads far and wide.”

    Future Proof imagery, videos and other assets are now available for New Zealand education partners to use in their own marketing.

    These materials can be found on The Brand Lab by searching “Future Proof”.

    The Future Proof campaign focuses on three key messages that outline New Zealand’s strengths in preparing students for the future:

    • Develop future skills: In New Zealand, students learn to think for themselves and are supported to develop in-demand skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, creativity and teamwork.
    • New ways to learn: New Zealand combines a robust academic education with hands-on learning and real-world experience, giving students an edge in their future career.
    • Open and welcoming: New Zealand’s fair, free and diverse society allows students to be themselves, and helps them develop qualities that can get them ahead in the global workplace.

  • Indigenous internationalisation a hot topic across North America

    The topic of Indigenous Internationalisation has been proving a popular one at international education events across North America recently. Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) Associate Director of Engagement, Natalie Lulia, was asked to share her thoughts alongside experts in panel discussions in both the United States and Canada in May and June. The invitations offered a good opportunity to showcase the important work that Aotearoa New Zealand is doing in indigenous-to-indigenous engagement and internationalisation and our unique approaches to international education. 

    It was at the 76th annual NAFSA Association of International Educators conference in New Orleans that Natalie was first invited to take part in a panel talk on the subject “What is indigenous-led internationalisation?”. Natalie was joined on the panel by Distinguished Professor Jacinta Ruru, Deputy Vice-Chancellor Māori at the University of Otago, and Paulette Tamati-Elliffe, Manager at Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu.  

    The panel explored how indigenous and non-Western knowledge and worldviews are essential for intercultural learning through the experiences and work of Māori education experts. The panel provided examples of how indigenous ways of knowing and being can enhance intercultural learning and what Indigenous-led internationalisation looks like in practice. 

    The panel was moderated by DuBois Jennings, ENZ’s Director of Engagement North America, who noted that the session was extremely well attended.  

    “It was very inspiring listening to our panel of experts share their thoughts with a very attentive audience. It was so popular that people were standing at the back, which is indicative of how the global international education community values our expertise in this area,” said DuBois. 

    A te ao Māori approach to education was then the feature of Chief Executive for Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi, Professor Wiremu Doherty, who delivered a powerful keynote address at the British Columbia International Education Week Conference in Vancouver in June. Natalie joined Professor Doherty in a panel presentation on: ‘Talking Circle: Exploring the intersection between Internationalization, Indigenization, Decolonization and what it means to be Indigenous Serving.’ Also on the panel were Sarah Child and Kelly Shopland from North Island College in British Columbia, Canada who had recently returned from visiting Aotearoa New Zealand with a group of indigenous Canadian students in May.

    Natalie said that it was an honour to have been invited to speak at both events, alongside experts who are the driving forces behind this work within iwi, universities, and government agencies in Aotearoa New Zealand.  

    “International educators around the world are showing increasing interest in the unique approach we take to international education here in Aotearoa New Zealand. We are seen as a country that is leading the way in indigenous-to-indigenous engagement and internationalisation.  

    “These opportunities are not just a chance to share our experiences, but importantly an opportunity to learn from each other. We can learn from indigenous educators, thought leaders and communities here too - this is important in building reciprocal and meaningful partnerships,” said Natalie. 

    Natalie added that “This is a key area that Aotearoa New Zealand can leverage to support student mobility, research collaboration and partnerships with institutions around the globe. ENZ will continue to  work with our education partners, Māori and indigenous communities and use these platforms to share our expertise and ultimately grow indigenous international education for our country”.  

    Upcoming platforms to continue showcasing Aotearoa New Zealand’s approach to indigenous internationalisation will take place at the next Global Inclusion 2024 Annual Conference in Washington DC on 29 October to 1 November.  Then in March 2025, the ENZ North America team will be leading a one-day symposium highlighting indigenous international education at the Forum on Education Abroad conference in Toronto, Canada.
