New Zealand
Eight public universities in a country of five million means you are taught, not processed. It suits students who want to be known by name.
Immigration New Zealand requires NZ$20,000 in living funds for each year of study; Auckland and Wellington cost more. Indicative annual ranges, last checked August 2026, compiled from Immigration New Zealand, NZQA — Programme Approval, Recognition and Accreditation Rules 2026, Immigration New Zealand — Post Study Work Visa, Immigration New Zealand — how long you can stay on a post-study work visa and Immigration New Zealand — new and updated post-study work visa options. KMI is not the source of these figures. They move with policy and exchange rates, and we cost your specific shortlist properly before you commit.
Why students pick it
Class sizes where supervisors know your work. Every one of the eight public universities is state-funded and internationally ranked.
A post-study work visa of up to three years, with a Green List for roles in shortage.
Genuine international strength in agriculture, environmental science, and allied health.
Tuition and living both sit below the UK, US and Australia for a comparable degree.
That depends on your marks, your budget and your intake. Tell us where you stand and we’ll come back with a shortlist that fits.
Ask us about New ZealandWe hold representation with universities in New Zealand, which means we can ask about a stalled file rather than wait with you. It does not mean we will push you towards them — if the better fit is a university we have no arrangement with, that is the one on your shortlist.
