ASIA
APAIE: International education critical for Asia’s diplomacy, ambitions
International education in Asia Pacific has been a critical diplomacy tool for the region – one that is becoming all the more essential given the tempestuous global political landscape. Fostering a global outlook among students and facilitating people-to-people exchange is crucial, and international education can achieve what politicians are unable to, building positive relations between people and even countries, where relations are poor.
JAPAN
Push for foreign students to stay on to work in Japan
It is now a top priority that international students attending Japanese universities stay on in the country, with the government offering new incentives such as subsidised company internships, help with finding jobs on graduation, stepped-up Japanese language courses and more streamlined processes for work visas after graduation.
GERMANY
Germany is 'best country for international students', above UK
When students think about studying in a foreign country, their destination of choice tends to be either the United Kingdom or the United States, but a new study argues that Germany is now the best option for international students in Europe. The study ranked 30 European countries according to education, costs, life and career. Germany came on top with a total score of 83.2 out of 100 – far ahead of the UK, which scored 69.8.

Canada, Australia woo international students
Canada and Australia have goals to attract more international students to their universities, with policies that include more relaxed visa procedures, work rules and paths to citizenship.

Supporting university recruitment and raising New Zealand’s profile in Viet Nam
Building on the programme first introduced in 2025, NZUA 2026 is larger and more flexible. It continues to serve as a key tool for student recruitment and for building long-term connections in Viet Nam.
In 2026, there are 15 scholarships available, each worth NZD $15,000 for the first year of undergraduate study. The scholarships are offered at six New Zealand universities: University of Auckland, University of Waikato, Massey University, Lincoln University, University of Canterbury and University of Otago. The awards help universities connect with high‑achieving Vietnamese students for whom receiving a scholarship is both a major achievement and a source of pride.
The programme was first introduced following Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s visit to Viet Nam in 2025. It recognises students’ academic achievement, creativity and leadership, while showcasing the strengths of New Zealand’s university system.
A key feature of NZUA is that students can combine the award with other university scholarships (depending on each university’s rules). This helps make studying in New Zealand more affordable and strengthens New Zealand’s competitiveness in attracting undergraduate students.
The 2026 programme offers greater flexibility in entry requirements while maintaining strong academic standards. Applications are submitted online and require academic documents, an offer of place from a New Zealand university, and a short video introducing the student and their goals.
The awards have already generated strong visibility for New Zealand education, with coverage in major Vietnamese media. This helps reinforce New Zealand’s reputation among students, parents and education agents.
Applications are open until 12 July 2026. The successful applicants will be announced in early September followed by an awards ceremony in October.
Through NZUA, ENZ continues to work closely with New Zealand universities to build long‑term engagement in Viet Nam, support sustainable growth in student enrolments, and align scholarships with wider international education and brand goals.
