New Zealand is repeatedly voted one of the world's most peaceful countries according to the Global Peace Index. With a population of 4.5 million people, New Zealand is really diverse. The indigenous Maori people were the first inhabitants of Aotearoa and today New Zealanders come from all over the world, including the Pacific Islands, Asia, Africa, the Americas and Europe.

New Zealand welcomes everyone, practises all forms of religion, and enjoys political debate and freedom of speech. New Zealand was the first country in the world to give women the vote and we are proud to be nuclear free!

WELCOME TONEW ZEALAND

New Zealand education is becoming increasingly international in character, driven by trends, which include the information and communications technology revolution, employment markets transcending national borders, and a globally mobile population of students, teaching staff and researchers.

The New Zealand education system is based on guiding principles including quality-assured and portable education qualifications, and the provision of flexible pathways for study. National policies and quality assurance provide continuity and consistency

QUALITY EDUCATION

across New Zealand's education system.

The New Zealand Government-administered Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students is designed to ensure that a consistent, high standard of pastoral care is provided to all international students.

A beautiful piece of paradise in the South Pacific, New Zealand is a country of contrasts. From tropical forests to white sand beaches and towering mountains to bubbling hot springs, the scenery is spectacular. Then there are New Zealand's modern and vibrant cities bursting with world-class restaurants, galleries, theatres and museums. You can ski, sail, hike, sky dive and mountain bike your way around the country. Or simply enjoy the relaxed lifestyle and clean air that Kiwis take for granted.

Some Auckland facts

Auckland is New Zealand's biggest city - around one third of the country's population lives here, about 1.4 million people. It's also the largest Polynesian city in the world. According to Mercer Quality of Living survey, Auckland is currently ranked as the third best city to live in the world. Auckland's major businesses include information and computer technology, biotechnology and the creatvie industries, Health, construction, viticulture and food manufacturing are also important industries.

Auckland is often called the city of sails because the harbour is full of hundreds of yachts. In fact, there are more yachts per person than in any other city in the world.

Unbeatable lifestyle

Where else can you go sailing, horse riding, hiking, surfing, paddle boarding or mountain biking all within an hour of a bustling, modern city? In Auckland you get the best of both worlds – big city style and a stunning natural playground.

Auckland is rated the third most liveable city in the world in the Mercer Quality of Living scale. It is consistently ranked one of the world’s best places to live, not just for its huge variety of activities, but for its cleanliness, infrastructure, people and climate.

Taste

It’s never far between a good café or restaurant in Auckland and the city is a haven for discerning travellers who place strong emphasis on a local gourmet experience. As well as a thriving coffee culture – think ‘flat white’, the legendary Kiwi coffee invention – the quality and choice of locally sourced produce underpins exceptional dining experiences at the hands of world acclaimed chefs. Auckland also has more than 80 vineyards producing chardonnay, syrah, merlot and cabernet sauvignon wines – so wine tasting, on picturesque Waiheke Island, on the outskirts of west Auckland and around Matakana to the north and the Clevedon Valley, south, is a popular pastime.

Caring for international students

Auckland is home to many different cultural groups from around the world, giving the city a rich cultural mix that is reflected in its restaurants, meeting places, events, music and art.
