  • Indian scholars awarded at Auckland summit

    The awardees are Indian students currently studying at New Zealand universities in the fields of business, design and STEM-related programmes (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).  

    Some 19 of the total 31 recipients were honoured in person by Tertiary Education Minister Paul Goldsmith at the India New Zealand Business Council (INZBC) Edutech Summit 2017 on 4 August.

    Speaking at the summit, ENZ Chief Executive Grant McPherson said the students were important to New Zealand’s broader relationship with India. 

    “These top young scholars will further strengthen ties between our two countries by contributing to a broader exchange of ideas in our universities, building our respective research capabilities, and enriching New Zealand culture.”   

    The summit featured industry heads and policy makers from both countries. Speakers included New Zealand Prime Minister Bill English, Ambarish Datta, Managing Director and CEO of the Bombay Stock Exchange Institute and Mohandas Pai, Chairperson of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry from India. 

    The 2018 round of NZEA will go live on the Study in New Zealand website on 1 September 2017, with applications closing 15 November 2017.

  • New Zealand on the road in Viet Nam

    The students were all treated to special presentations during the tour, with most walking away with an ENZ bag containing materials promoting New Zealand as an education destination.

    The purpose of the Roadshow’s education aspect of the was to raise awareness of New Zealand and drive registrations for the upcoming New Zealand education fairs on 3 – 4 October.

    This was very much an NZ Inc. initiative with ENZ, the New Zealand Embassy and Tourism New Zealand all working together to make the roadshow a reality. 

    A Māori cultural performing group from the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Institute stole the show. 

    “Māori culture is a fascinating and unique part of New Zealand culture; it’s something that sets us apart from others,” said New Zealand Ambassador HE Haike Manning. “The visit by this performance group was a great opportunity to showcase Māori culture to Vietnamese students to raise their awareness and interest in our country,”

    “We took the opportunity to showcase a number of other things we think make New Zealand special – our excellent education system, our beautiful landscapes, our cities, our food – all the things that make New Zealand such a wonderful tourism and study destination! We also showcased our positive and growing relationship with Viet Nam, so that Vietnamese students could gain an appreciation of the cooperation that has being going on between New Zealand and Viet Nam over the past 40 years.”

    The Roadshow is the latest in a year-long series of events organised by the New Zealand Embassy as part of the ‘New Zealand – Open to the New’ season, celebrating 40 years of friendship and diplomatic relations between New Zealand and Viet Nam.

  • My StudyNZ connects students to institutions

    My StudyNZ, an online members’ centre on the Study in New Zealand website, enables students to match with the courses and institutions that best suit them. It is designed for students who are not yet sure what to study and need recommendations.

    Lucia Alarcon, ENZ’s International Digital Programme Manager, said students on the database have been invited to join My StudyNZ, where they’ll be able to create a profile, review personalised study recommendations, shortlist matches and track their progress towards applying for courses and visas.
