A study and lifestyle destination

New Zealand is a modern and dynamic country situated in the South Pacific near Australia. Our cities are cosmopolitan, populated by ethnic groups from all over the world who have bought with them their cultures and cuisine.

New Zealand is a politically-stable, English-speaking, independent Commonwealth country where you can feel safe. It has a high standard of living, so you can expect to enjoy a good lifestyle while you study for a global qualification.

In both scientific and creative spheres, New Zealand has an international reputation for innovation. Our country is also world-renowned for sporting achievements. New Zealand was the first country to give women the vote; New Zealander Sir Edmund Hillary was the first to conquer Mt Everest; and our most famous scientist, Sir Ernest Rutherford, changed the world when he split the atom.

While living and studying in New Zealand, you’ll have the chance to see some of the world’s most stunning and diverse landscapes. Relax on pristine, white sandy beaches; snorkel in crystal clear marine reserves; walk in lush native rainforests; ski or snowboard down snowy volcanoes; hike across ancient glaciers; kayak around beautiful bays, coves and islands. Our scenery’s not just for looking at, it’s for doing things.

While New Zealand is home to people from many countries, our indigenous culture is going from strength to strength. Visitors can learn about Māori and Pacific cultures, our past as a British colony and how we evolved to become the country you see today. Studying at The University of Auckland will present you with many opportunities to learn about New Zealand’s unique heritage.
