New Zealand has earned a reputation for high quality, internationally recognised courses.

Immigration New Zealand's role in export education is to maintain that reputation by facilitating and managing any risks. That's why education providers must meet our requirements before they can enrol students from overseas.

We also have some definite rules and requirements that students from other countries have to meet before they can study here.  And we'll only grant student visas to people enrolled with education providers who meet our requirements.

Please note: immigration considerations are only part of the requirements education providers must meet. For more information on the full range of requirements visit the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA) and the Ministry of Education websites.

Education New Zealand is the industry body for New Zealand's education exporters.  Established in 1999, ENZ is a not-for-profit organisation that is owned by New Zealand's educational institutions.  For more information visit www.educationnz.org.nz.
