Degrees in New Zealand

New Zealand encompasses a long, narrow island chain in the southwestern Pacific, constituted primarily by the north island (in Maori: Te Ika a-Maui) and south island (in Maori: Te Waipounamu). There are only around 4.5 million people living in New Zealand, and because it was for so long uninhabited by humans the country has managed to maintain a unique biodiversity of plant and animal life.

Auckland is the country’s largest city by a significant margin, home to roughly one-third of the country’s population. The University of Auckland – the country’s most highly touted academic institution – is rooted in this highly modern metropolis. Auckland is also considered to be the third most livable city in the whole world.

Apart from Auckland, other major cities where you can earn your degree abroad in New Zealand include Hamilton, Christchurch, and the capital city of Wellington. All of these destinations are much smaller, but can offer a very enriching environment to earn your degree abroad in New Zealand nonetheless. There are a large diversity of degree programs in New Zealand located all across the country, so take your time researching as many options as possible!
