Study in New Zealand for Indian Students

New Zealand has seen a massive surge in international students. Though there was nothing special about New Zealand earlier, of late, students have started identifying New Zealand to be a great country and its education system to be highly rewarding. There are over a lakh of international students in New Zealand, and the country enjoys a good reputation in terms of the student satisfaction rate. Before moving there, you need to know many things about the country, and you can read further to know better.
Like every other country, New Zealand has private and public universities. Public universities naturally tend to be a bit cheaper. Nonetheless, you should know that certain disciplines like Medicine and Veterinary Science can be expensive. The average tuition fees in New Zealand can come by around NZ$ 20,000. However, private universities like the University of Auckland, Auckland University of Technology etc., are more affordable. Their Bachelor’s tuition fees start at NZ$ 1468 - NZ$ 6622.Â
