System:

New Zealand has eight state-funded universities, 16 Institutes of Technology and Polytechnics (ITPs) and about 550 Private Training Establishments (PTEs), which include English language schools.
Universities offer higher degree-level education. Programmes are research-led and generally academic rather than vocational.

All eight universities are ranked among the top 3 percent in the world. New Zealand is the only country in the world to have all its universities ranked within the top 500. Source: Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings 2018.
In the 2020 QS World University Rankings, seven of New Zealand’s universities were in the top 100 in at least one subject.

ITPs and a few larger PTEs offer vocational degree-level education.
PTEs tend to offer specific vocational programmes, mainly at certificate and diploma level.

Tuition:

Bachelor’s Degree - Fees range from about NZD$22,000 to NZD$32,000, with higher fees for subjects such as medicine and veterinary science. Many bachelor’s degrees can be completed in three years.

Work while you study

International students have the same legal minimum rights and entitlements as anyone else working in New Zealand.
These include your right to be paid at least the minimum wage, paid annual and public holidays, and rest breaks.
If you have a Student Visa you may work:

Up to 20 hours a week during term time
Full-time during scheduled holidays
If you are a Masters by research or PhD student, you may work full-time during term time and scheduled holidays.

Post-Study Work Rights

New Zealand qualifications are internationally recognised. When students graduate, their qualifications will take them anywhere they want to go in the world – they are a student’s passport to success. You can also apply for a visa to work in New Zealand for up to 3 years after you finish your study if you have an acceptable qualification. For more information on post-study work rights, go to Immigration New Zealand.
