  • New Year brings new resources for international students

    The ENZ team has been undertaking thorough research to address the big question on every international student’s mind: how much does it really cost to study and live in New Zealand?

    After talking to students and seeking feedback about their experiences, ENZ has compiled a Cost of Living page.

    This will be a centralised source of information for students that addresses the subject with clarity and transparency, setting realistic expectations on what they will need to budget for.

    The page covers different budgets for a range of study options, noting the varying tuition fees depending on type of course (English language courses through to postgraduate) location and length of study.

    Along with links to sites with further information on immigration and accommodation, the page also acknowledges that a typical student lifestyle goes beyond the bare necessities, and outlines everyday expenses in order to help students gain a comprehensive picture.

    Of course, the cost of living is just one area of interest of prospective students – ENZ has also created a “Quick Facts” page where students can find 10 key reasons why New Zealand is the ultimate study destination.

  • 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.
