Education in New Zealand
New Zealand has eight state-funded universities and several reputed institutes offering quality education in fields like medicine, Engineering, Business, and more. All qualifications are NZQA-approved. Most institutions follow a February–November academic year with two semesters. Some programs have a single intake in February.
Why Education In New Zealand?
New Zealand offers world-class education, a safe environment, affordable living, work and migration opportunities, and globally recognized degrees in a friendly, multicultural setting.
Advantages Of New Zealand
New Zealand is a beautiful and unique country in the South Pacific. Its scenery sets it apart from the rest of the world, while its people have a reputation for friendliness, strength, and independence. It has a population of only 5 million and is similar in size to the UK or Japan.
The country offers a safe learning environment, diverse study options, and excellent support services for international students. Some of the highlights are:
- Association with Fresh Thinkers: New Zealanders value fresh thinking and are good at teaching that rare and valuable commodity—original thinking.
- British Education System: Education programs and degrees are based on the world's most recognized and accredited system—the British System.
- World-Class Institutions: A qualification from a NZ institution ranks with the best in the world.
- Warm and Welcoming Environment: NZ is an easy and safe place to live, and its people are warm and hospitable.
- World-Leading Courses and Degrees: NZ has a reputation for being practical, modern, and desirable. In some niche areas such as biotechnology, forensic science, and marine engineering, NZ degrees are acknowledged as the best in the world.
- High Quality Living Conditions: While living and studying in NZ, you can afford great, modern accommodation that is minutes away from world-class study facilities. Public transport is good, and cars are affordable.
- Opportunities for Work Permit and Migration: Graduates of a NZ qualification have very good opportunities to apply for work permits and permanent residency to stay back.
Types of Qualifications
These are normally Level 5 or Level 6 qualifications and are 1 to 2 years in duration after 12th Std. Some diplomas, which are vocational in nature, also accept Bachelor degree holders.
These are Level 7 programs and take 3 to 4 years to complete after 12th Std., depending on the subject. Students can do an additional “honours” year upon completion of their degree program. Honors is the 1st year of postgraduate work in the student’s field of study.
A one-year, Level 7 program for graduates who are not eligible for direct entry into postgraduate study due to their academic grades. It is also like a conversion program for those who wish to change careers and do not have prior academic learning in the subject area.
A one-year, Level 8 program designed for graduates usually builds on the subject of the Postgraduate Diplo academic field of the previous bachelor’s degree. This is also usually the 1st year of a 2-year Masters Degree in NZ.
This Level 9 program is usually 1-2 years of study and builds on the subject of the bachelor’s degree/PG Diploma. Most Master’s degrees include a thesis component, and in some cases, particularly those that are taken after a four-year bachelor’s (honors) course, the degree may be by thesis only. However, increasingly, Master’s degrees by papers, or papers plus research, are becoming available.
The main Doctorate offered by NZ universities is the PhD, or Doctor of Philosophy (Level 10), taken up over 3 to 4 years. Admission to the PhD is subject to the availability of staff for supervision and appropriate facilities. All international students coming to NZ for a PhD pay only domestic tuition fees even if they have not been awarded any financial aid.

Faq's
NZQA has designated every recognized course with a level. Levels range from 1 to 10. Indian students are normally granted student visas only if they are studying any course that is level 5 or higher. If the course is lower than level 5, then it must act as a prerequisite to a higher-level course and must be accompanied by a combined offer letter for the higher-level course also. For more information, visit www.nzqa.ac.nz.
INZ normally issues student visas for the length of time the course tuition fees have been paid (maximum 1 year). Visa can be renewed after a year in New Zealand itself.
