Study in New Zealand - An Unforgettable Adventure

A world-class education at the University of Auckland and an unforgettable adventure in New Zealand

Now we don’t know about you, but the best place for the ultimate student experience has got to be New Zealand. It is truly a one-stop-wonder for students looking to have the time of their lives.  Don’t just take our word for it! Read on to find out why New Zealand is the place to be.Studying abroad has its many perks and has been a dream for many. Not only will you get to broaden your horizon, you will also make some lifelong friends. Having to overcome the struggles of living away from home (and in a foreign country to add), truly creates bonds like no other. This would also be the time for you to discover interests and hobbies in this new environment that you are in.  

1.Extreme sports extraordinaire

If you’re an adrenaline junkie who loves the thrill and the excitement of it all, New Zealand is where you should be. Queenstown is a city in New Zealand dedicated for all sorts of extreme sports. Calling it the adventure capital of the world is probably an understatement. From heliskiing to bungee jumping, Queenstown really has it all.

2. Out of the movies

The scenery in New Zealand is so unbelievable that you might find yourself wondering if you stepped into a movie. Fact is you might just have! Though this is not a well known fact, many famous movies were shot in New Zealand. The Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit and Wolverine are some just to name a few.

3. Staying to work after study

This unknown fact is what becomes one of the biggest motivating factors for students considering to study in New Zealand. Upon completing your education there, you can apply for a visa to work in New Zealand for up to 3 years, if you have an acceptable qualification. Imagine that! A Post-study work visa lasts for 1, 2 or 3 years depending on the level of your qualification and where you studied.

4. Exotic wildlife

If you’re someone who loves animals and enjoys activities such as wildlife spotting, book a flight to New Zealand ASAP!  New Zealand is home to many unique and rare animal species that are sadly going extinct very quick. From the Yellow-eyed penguin to the Maui dolphins, these are animals you could only find in the kiwi land.

5. Beach-bum central

 It is no shocker that New Zealand has many beaches as it is surrounded by water. Its crystal clear waters and sandy beaches are only two of all its many allures. Having over 600 monitored waterfronts all over the country, you could visit a different one everyday and still have hundreds of unexplored beaches and lakes.

6. Taumatawha- who?

This town has the LONGEST name in all the world. It was named after an incident involving a ‘land-eater’ serenading his loved one. Much like this, New Zealand seamlessly knits its folklore and history into it’s modern life. New Zealand is one of the few countries that still holds onto its cultural heritage with pride. Studying here will allow you to dive in and experience tribal cultures that have been around for hundreds of years.

7. University of Auckland (UOA)

On top of everything else New Zealand is also home to one of the world’s best universities! Ranked at 85 on the QS World Universities Ranking (2019), it is the best university in all of New Zealand.
