Education New Zealand recently organised an Academic Conclave in Delhi, which brought together researchers, experts and professors from across acclaimed India and New Zealand universities.
The conclave promoted research collaboration between institutions and canvassed ways to future-proof education systems for upcoming generations.
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% increase in Indian students choosing to study in New Zealand universities to June 2018.
In August, the New Zealand Government introduced a new three-year open post-study work visa for all international students studying Undergraduate degrees, Masters Degrees and PhD study.
This initiative underlines the strength of the New Zealand education system in turbocharging student’s career prospects and builds on the country’s #1 ranking as the best education system in the world in preparing students for the future, as ranked by the Economist Intelligence Unit.
Education New Zealand and all New Zealand’s universities are offering scholarships dedicated towards Indian students, through 34 exclusive New Zealand’s Excellence Awards.
The Excellence Awards grant scholarship for study at any one of New Zealand’s universities, with applications due by 28 October 2018.
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 an inbuilt flexibility that provides accelerated and extended study options to suit student’s career needs.
New Zealand universities also provide career preparation and placement services, as well as internship and global student exchange opportunities.
“We are delighted that Indian students are future-proofing their careers by choosing to study in New Zealand, particularly given the recent introduction of a 3-year open post-study work visa for Bachelor’s, Masters and PhD Degree international students. This week’s Academic Conclave and Guest Lecture Series are one of many initiatives New Zealand is undertaking to build the education relationship with India, and we look forward to welcoming more quality Indian students to our world-class universities and institutes,” says John Laxon, Education New Zealand Regional Director, South, South East Asia and Middle East.
