Why NewZealand ?

New Zealand is around the same size as Japan or the Britain, but with a population of just over 4 million. That leaves a lot of open space, and a chance for every single person to make their mark.

Smaller cities, smaller classes, and a more relaxed approach to life influence the student experience all around the country.

Each university has its own timetable but generally the year is split into 2 semesters of about 12 weeks each, with a 2-week break during the semester and a 6-week break in the middle of the year. The breaks are not necessarily holidays - you may need the time for research and study.

The university year begins in late February or early March and ends in October. Most courses are ‘full year’ courses over both semesters, but some courses only take one semester.

It’s sometimes possible to start university study in July. Classes are held Monday to Friday, with libraries and some other support services open on weekends.

Exams sometimes take place on a Saturday. Some universities offer ‘summer school’ courses from November to February, which reduces the number of years it takes to complete a degree. Each semester begins with an action-packed orientation week featuring live music and events.
