Studying in New Zealand

Start with the Study in New Zealand website(external link) to learn about our eduation system, what student life is like in NZ, and read stories about people who have taken the plunge previously.
If you have applied for study and are already planning your move, be sure to also visit NauMai NZ(external link), the official government platform for international students who will soon arrive or are currently studying in New Zealand.

If the length of the course you are planning to study is designed to last for longer than 3 months, you must apply for a student visa, regardless of how long you plan to study in New Zealand.
