Study in New Zealand

STUDY NEW ZEALAND

New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. It comprises two main landmasses—the North Island and the South Island. The country’s varied topography and sharp mountain peaks, including the Southern Alps, owe much to tectonic uplift and volcanic eruptions. New Zealand’s capital city is Wellington, and its most populous city is Auckland.

The current Regions of New Zealand and most of their councils came about in 1989: Northland, Auckland†, Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Gisborne, Hawke’s Bay†, Taranaki†, Manawatu-Whanganui, Wellington†, Tasman, Nelson†, Marlborough†, West Coast†, Canterbury†, Otago† and Southland†.

A developed country, New Zealand ranks highly in international comparisons of national performance, such as quality of life, education, protection of civil liberties, government transparency, and economic freedom. New Zealand underwent major economic changes during the 1980s, which transformed it from a protectionist to a liberalized free-trade economy. The service sector dominates the national economy, followed by the industrial sector, and agriculture; international tourism is a significant source of revenue. Nationally, legislative authority is vested in an elected, unicameral Parliament, while executive political power is exercised by the Cabinet, led by the prime minister, currently Jacinda Ardern. Queen Elizabeth II is the country’s monarch and is represented by a governor-general, currently Dame Patsy Reddy. In addition, New Zealand is organized into 11 regional councils and 67 territorial authorities for local government purposes. The Realm of New Zealand also includes Tokelau (a dependent territory); the Cook Islands and Niue (self-governing states in free association with New Zealand); and the Ross Dependency, which is New Zealand’s territorial claim in Antarctica.

TIPS FOR PRE-DEPARTURE FOR STUDY ABROAD IN NEW ZEALAND

Congratulations – you’ve been accepted to study in New Zealand! Here’s what you need to do before you leave.

You’re about to start on an incredible adventure. Keep these top tips in mind when you’re preparing for your New Zealand study experience.

Organise accommodation

If you are under the age of 18 you must have accommodation arranged in order to get your student visa. Even if you’re older, it’s still a good idea to organise accommodation before you arrive in New Zealand.

• Homestay: If you stay in a homestay, you will live with a host family. You will usually have a room of your own and all meals provided. Talk to your education provider about homestay opportunities.
• Hall of residence: All universities and many institutes of technology and polytechnics (ITPs) provide student accommodation in halls of residence. You will get your own room with shared bathroom facilities, and at least two meals a day.
• Flatting: Many New Zealand students live together in a rented house or apartment (flat). You will have to cook your own meals and share expenses such as power and internet with your flatmates. A good place to look for a room in a flat is on Trade Me.

Get insurance

International students need full health and travel insurance as part of their visa requirements. Most education providers recommend getting insurance through Student Safe.

Pack your essentials

You should be able to fit everything you need for your time in New Zealand into one suitcase (unless you’re a serious snowboarder or a fanatical cyclist!). It’s worth bringing:

• at least NZ$100 in cash for when you first arrive, with another $300 easily available through a credit or travel card
• three month’s supply of any prescription medicines you need (plus a note from your doctor if you will need to get more while you’re here)
• an adaptor plug for your laptop and mobile phone chargers.

Packing List

Below is a list of items to buy when you arrive and are settled in New Zealand, and the items to bring with you.

Buy in New Zealand:

• Laptop/laptop bag Winter jacket
• Winter boots, Winter clothes
• Sweaters, Thermal wear

Bring these items with you:

Clothing & Shoes

Other

Utensils and Food Items:

Specialized food items from your home country, see example below:

Stationary Items:

Personal Hygiene Products:
Most of the brands available at home are available in New Zealand too. However, you might need to bring the following items for your first few days of use:

These are the most important things you need to carry from home. If you have already decided your roommate(s), then you will have the benefit of sharing/dividing items equally. All vessels should be flat bottomed since in New Zealand most apartments use electric stoves. These may be the utensils you will need to carry with you.
