Education New Zealand recently organised an Academic Conclave in Delhi which brought together researchers, experts & professors from across India and New Zealand universities. The conclave promoted research collaboration between institutions, and canvassed ways to future-proof education systems.
The Academic Conclave builds upon a range of initiatives that are pushing New Zealand to the fore as the preferred international education destination for students, with a 15 per cent increase in Indian students choosing to study in New Zealand universities to June, 2018. The New Zealand Government introduced a new three-year open post-study work visa for all international students studying UG degrees, masters degrees and PhD study.
Education New Zealand and all New Zealand’s universities are offering scholarships to the Indian students, through 34 exclusive New Zealand Excellence Awards with applications due by October 28.
New Zealand universities have launched a New Zealand Masters campaign, promoting taught masters qualifications uniquely designed to offer students with a head-start in their careers.
New Zealand masters are 18-month programmes with inbuilt flexibility that provides accelerated and extended study options to suit student’s career needs. The universities also provide career preparation and placement services, as well as internship and global student exchange opportunities.
“Indian students are future-proofing their careers by choosing to study in New Zealand, particularly given the recent introduction of a three-year open post-study work visa for Bachelor’s, Masters and PhD Degree international students. The Academic Conclave and Guest lecture Series are one of many initiatives New Zealand is undertaking to build the education relationship with India,” John laxon, Education New Zealand Regional Director, South, South East Asia and Middle East, says.
