Choosing to study in a foreign country is a bold move. It takes courage and a willingness to step into the unknown. It is exciting, challenging, rewarding and life changing.

Every year students from across the world choose to study here. They come because our education institutions provide internationally recognised and transferable qualifications and the opportunity to get a relevant and future-focused education.

High quality is at the heart of a Wellington education. It starts in our primary schools and flows all the way through to our world ranked universities.

Students in Wellington can choose from a huge range of world class programmes, from biotechnology to biomedical and life sciences, trade training to teacher training, digital and creative technologies to architecture and design, English language to engineering and environmental sciences, hospitality to health.

Students come to Wellington because of the quality schools and world class programmes. They come here because of the lifestyle; they want to live somewhere where they can see the stars at night, rely on good public transport, where they can live in a cosmopolitan city – or its coastal and rural towns – and still get great coffee.

Grow Wellington is proud to support Wellington’s export education industry through its programme Education Wellington. Visit our Education Wellington website www.ewi.org.nz, and find out more about the many education opportunities in the region.
