The benefits of a New Zealand education are best expressed in the New Zealand brand story.
“First Light Thinking” is the main idea behind the New Zealand Educated brand.
This links New Zealand’s special position in the world with New Zealanders’ ability to think creatively and have advanced ideas.
It is a fact that every new day in the world starts in New Zealand – New Zealanders are already up and working while the rest of the world is in darkness. New Zealand is a country where students are treated as individuals who are keen to have their minds opened to a world of exciting possibilities. A New Zealand education offer students positive futures, including careers in companies that value original thinking.
Seven benefits come from this identity, special characteristics of a New Zealand education:
• Connected
• Inventive
• Lively
• Adventurous
• Personal
• Trusted
• Welcoming.
Students can be confident that a New Zealand education includes features such as internationally recognised qualifications, caring student support, quality programmes, an attractive study environment and wonderful hospitality.
Young and free of constricting traditions, New Zealand has learned to be self-reliant and to forge its own pathways in the world. This original thinking continues to be reflected in the way we teach and learn, prompting clever ideas and solutions that stretch beyond theory and rote learning. Our approach matches the fresh thinking that ultimately drives prosperity for the world’s businesses and communities.
In New Zealand we encourage students to learn from others but to also think for themselves. Our personalised approach means we treat students as individuals and foster close interaction between teachers and learners. This way, students who are keen to realise their full potential in business or elsewhere can enjoy the stimulation of having their minds opened to many new possibilities.
New Zealand has grown up with high quality degrees and educational programmes based on the prestigious British education system. From lecturers to consultants, from English language schools to universities, New Zealand offers world-class educational facilities, resources and people. Our high-calibre qualifications and degrees are valued, recognised and transferable throughout the world.
Perched at the world’s edge, New Zealanders have become the world’s greatest travellers. As keen observers of emerging global trends and technologies, we have the size and flexibility to become early, and frequently successful, adopters. For students looking to master these new trends and technologies, this global connectedness is invaluable.
New Zealand’s impressive mountain, lake, forest and coastal terrain provide visiting students with a startling array of outdoor adventure. A pristine environment where the range of hard and soft adventure is very affordable and frequently only a short distance away.
New Zealanders are genuinely hospitable people with a lively interest in different cultures. An educational experience here is frequently the beginning of lifelong friendships. Beyond the warm welcome, students will find a place where safety and security are valued.
Students will experience a modern and sophisticated lifestyle and high quality, affordable accommodation within close proximity of their chosen educational institution. In New Zealand’s main cities, students will also enjoy a rich variety of nightlife, cafes, movies and shopping experiences.
