Why is New Zealand a Global Education Hub?
As they say, “Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder." But who is immune to the beauty and charm of New Zealand?
New Zealand has become one of the most preferred study overseas destinations for Singaporean students. Many of New Zealand universities rank high in the 2018 Times Higher Education Rankings, doing well in teaching and learning, research and international outlook.
When deciding to study in New Zealand, you can be sure of that any university or institution you are considering will meet the highest education standards. Popularly known as the ‘Land of the Long White Cloud’, New Zealand is a postcard-perfect country to live and study.
Let us find out why Singaporeans are so keen to pursue higher education in New Zealand!
Higher Education in New Zealand
The country maintains a world-class education system. All of its universities and institutions adhere to international education standards, regularly monitored by the government to ensure a high level of education wherever you choose to study. It has a responsive, progressive education system, coupled with traditional principles of teaching with technology and innovation, leading internationally recognised and respected qualifications.
Also, the country is a member of the Lisbon Recognition Convention, meaning its qualifications, such as certificates, diplomas and degrees, are recognised by all 50 participating nations. In short, you will get the best global education in New Zealand.
Global Rankings
With a lot to choose from, selecting the right program is always tricky. Keeping in mind that each student, course and university is different, it’s a crucial decision to get right, with research revealing that course preparation plays a vital role in the satisfaction of international students.
University rankings can be an easy way to help compare key performance indicators across different institutions and universities. Fortunately, all eight universities in New Zealand are included in the 2015-16 QS World University Rankings, phenomenal for a country with a population of just under five million.
Work Benefits
The country provides many unique working advantages for overseas students including the ability to work part-time during semesters and full-time during holidays. Students who are pursuing higher education in Australia also enjoy this freedom of working part-time during the semesters. In addition to that, international students studying in New Zealand also have the option of applying for a six-month work permit in order to gain points for their residency application.
