Preparation
Study in New Zealand requirements and entry requirements
Study in New Zealand requirements depend on the education provider, programme level and student profile. Each provider sets its own academic, English and document requirements, and we help you check them before an application begins.
English courses
Schools normally use a placement test to confirm the right level. Dates, minimum age and timetable depend on the course.
Secondary school
Schools review age, year level, reports, accommodation and pastoral care arrangements for international students.
Tertiary study
Certificates, diplomas, degrees and postgraduate programmes may require previous qualifications, English evidence, transcripts, a portfolio or subject-specific conditions.
Cost of studying in New Zealand and study budget
The cost of studying in New Zealand is more than tuition. A realistic study budget separates tuition from the full cost of the experience: enrolment, materials, accommodation, insurance, transport, food, arrival costs and personal expenses. Costs vary by city, programme and provider, so current quotes must be checked before enrolling.
Scholarships to study in New Zealand
Scholarships to study in New Zealand depend on the provider, level of study, country, academic profile and application dates. They are competitive and should be treated as an opportunity to research, not as a guaranteed way to fund the plan.
