Most people know me as Mann. I’d like to tell you why I’ve enjoyed my time here at EIT so much.
EIT Hawke’s Bay is such a fantastic campus – it has everything going for it! The peaceful surroundings, the lively atmosphere, the welcoming student fellowship and superb tutors – all things vitally important for an ideal study environment.
Not sure what to study? Don’t worry because EIT has an enormous variety of educational programmes – there is something for everyone. And I’ve been very impressed with the level of high-quality resources made available to all students – and along with well developed courses and highly qualified academic staff, they are also very helpful to International students like myself.
The lecturers assisted me with my studies whenever I asked for help, things were made to look very simple and easy and I felt completely comfortable during my assignments and exams.
EIT has the best science laboratories, equipped with the latest technology for the full spectrum of sciences, including wine science. Complete with a small vineyard and purpose-built working winery, EIT is the number one choice in New Zealand for any wine-related course.
In addition to providing assistance with assignments and exam preparation, EIT gives assistance in the process of finding future job opportunities. I have already been offered a job as a wine consultant which I will take up after I have finished my Diploma.
Along with my studies I worked part-time as a sommelier in one of New Zealand’s best-known wineries, Mission Estate Restaurant.
I enjoyed my stay at EIT’s student residential village - so very modern and comfortable and with 26 different nationalities; it’s a great opportunity to embrace different customs and cultures.
I enjoyed studying at EIT so very much; I can now clearly see my life-goals coming to fruition. New Zealand was always my dream country, but my time at EIT made it more than I expected.
I appeal to all parents, if you want to send your child for overseas studies, EIT is the right choice. So what are you waiting for, get in touch with your local EIT agents in your country, and enrol your child right away, see your dream coming true.
Hawkes Bay’s long summer is perfect for orchards, wineries and a relaxed lifestyle.
