Why study in New Zealand?
Study with New Zealand helps you compare education providers and study options. Check the programme's level, teaching approach and international learner support. The course and provider must also fit the immigration route you intend to use, so assess academic and visa suitability together.

Make a strong start
Admission requirements & language
- Check academic entry and the provider's accepted language evidence for the selected course.
- Review the offer of place, including course length, study mode, fees and any conditions still to meet.
- Confirm the provider's current approval and international learner requirements through official information.
Language preparation
Your provider assesses English and academic suitability. Check the exact course requirements before choosing a test or pathway.
Explore test preparation and support →Intakes & deadlines
Use the provider's course start dates and application window; allow time to convert a conditional offer where needed.
Your document checklist
Prepare academic records, identity documents, language evidence and any course-specific references, statement or portfolio. Ask the institution about translations and verification. Keep the admission checklist separate from the visa checklist.

A budget you can plan around
Tuition fees & living costs
Budget for tuition, compulsory charges, accommodation, transport and insurance. Immigration New Zealand explains financial and tuition-payment evidence for the Fee Paying Student Visa; check the appropriate sequence before paying or assuming an offer is enough.

Explore funding
Scholarships & financial support
Research provider awards and official New Zealand scholarship opportunities. Check nationality and study-level eligibility, coverage and deadlines. Plan the remaining costs and keep a self-funded fallback if a competitive award is not confirmed.
Record each award’s deadline, documents, coverage and renewal conditions. Keep a workable plan for costs that an award does not cover.

Student visa & residence guidance
The Fee Paying Student Visa requires an offer from an approved education provider and the applicable tuition, living-funds and insurance evidence. Immigration New Zealand describes conditional-offer and payment arrangements, along with other requirements. Use its current checklist for your circumstances.
Use the current official instructions for your nationality, programme and place of application. Admission and immigration decisions are made separately. Nexo can help you organise your questions and preparation; the relevant authority decides the application.

Plan beyond the classroom
Work during study & graduate options
Work permission depends on the visa conditions and course. Check the current student work rules and the eligibility of the exact qualification for any post-study work route; no graduate permission is automatic for every course.
Build your study budget around available funds. A possible future job should not be treated as confirmed funding.
