The purpose of this site is to provide comprehensive and practical information about New Zealand as a destination for overseas study. This includes information on New Zealand schools as well as practical tips, such as pre departure suggestions to ensure that in choosing New Zealand you enjoy the best possible overseas study experience.

There is also an opportunity for those who have completed studies in New Zealand to share your experiences on the site for the benefit of others who are evaluating their future study options.

Decisions about future study options are amongst life’s most important choices. Studying in New Zealand offers a unique experience for students from all over the world. New Zealand offers many things to overseas students including a world class education system, association with fresh and innovative thinkers, excellent living conditions, great recreation facilities and warm and welcoming people.

In Taiwan, as well as in other countries, New Zealand is well recognised as offering a quality value for money education experience. There are currently a total of some 6,000 Taiwanese students studying English language and formal programmes at secondary and tertiary levels in New Zealand.

The course fees for study in New Zealand and our costs of living are lower than Northern Hemisphere study destinations. New Zealand has been identified by international travel publications as one of the safest destinations in the world. English is our official language and our education system is based on the British model. New Zealand’s society is multicultural with Europeans, our native Maori people and many other nationalities settled in our country.

New Zealand offers a wide range of study options. These include English language courses, formal secondary school programmes and vocational training such as business and computing studies. In addition, there is a comprehensive range of tertiary courses available through any of our eight universities. Shorter-term study tours are also popular from Taiwan offering the opportunity to return for more formal study later.

I hope that you will explore the exciting possibilities that study in New Zealand offers.

Should you have further questions after exploring this site, please feel free to approach the New Zealand Trade Development Centre in Taipei.
