With international evidence supporting the quality of a New Zealand education, students can concentrate on which course to take and what part of New Zealand to live in.
There are a number of factors that influence student choice, such as:
• Wanting a specific course or level of study
• Location – choosing between a city, major tourist centre or smaller town
• Size of education provider
• Recommendations from friends or family
• Opportunities to work while studying
• Connection to further study.
Education agents have a wide number of information sources to help students choose an education provider. These include:
• the information presented here and the associated agent certification programme
• online references, particularly www.newzealandeducated.com
• the Study in New Zealand directory series
• individual institution material obtained from education fairs, meetings with New Zealand institution representatives and online via their websites, etc.
The website www.newzealandeducated.com allows people to look for specific schools and courses (through Find Institutions & Courses) or read about a region by highlighting areas on the New Zealand map (through Explore New Zealand).
In addition, this site has a slider system, where people can highlight areas they think they would enjoy based on their interests in snow, surf, city buzz, countryside, hiking & biking and arts & culture. Any searches for institutions and courses they make will be matched to their preferred activities.
