Study and Education
June 28, 2008
Studying in New Zealand is a great way to see the country while you gain new knowledge and skills. Living and tuition costs compare well with other countries.
Courses are available for academic, professional and vocational studies at universities, polytechnics, teachers’ colleges, secondary schools and private training establishments.
There are also a number of private English language schools.
For a totally different spin on education, there are several ‘adventure schools’ around the country. Usually sited in beautiful locations, these schools focus on outdoor sports and activities as well as personal development.
From scuba diving and rock climbing to leadership and survival skills, the subject choices are inspiring.
If you really want to immerse yourself in the New Zealand way of life while you’re studying, you can arrange a homestay with a New Zealand family. This is a particularly clever idea if you’re trying to improve your English.

limestone canyons and ancient rainforest to dramatic waterfalls. Rivers in the west coast region are the
main source of New Zealand greenstone (jade), which is sculpted and sold in the historic town of Hokitika.
