by Shrutee K/DNS
Mumbai, April 18, 2019: Education New Zealand announced
the first ever New Zealand Excellence Awards undergraduate scholarships package
for Indian students. The prestigious Awards feature 18 scholarships to study at any one of the New Zealand’s
Universities, with funding of INR 84 lakh available towards academic study costs.
The
Awards build on very successful postgraduate New Zealand Excellence Awards scheme
which has supported 100 Indian students to pursue their education and career
dreams in New Zealand. Indian families are increasingly choosing a New Zealand education
as the best option for future-proofing students’ career paths. There was a 17% increase in Indian students
enrolling at New Zealand universities in 2018, and a further 43% increase in
first-time student visas in 2019.
New Zealand’s ability to prepare students for the future of work
has been recognised by the Economist Intelligence Unit’s (EIU) Educating for the Future Index, which in March ranked New
Zealand as the best English-speaking education system in the world for the
second year running. The EIU Index ranks 35 countries in terms of their ability
to prepare students to respond to the rapidly changing demands of work and
life. In New Zealand students are encouraged to think for themselves in
an environment where inquisitiveness, curiosity and independent thinking are
rewarded. The New Zealand Government recently
introduced an open three-year post-study work visa for students undertaking
undergraduate Bachelor’s and postgraduate study. New Zealand universities offer
internships and graduate advisory support services for international students. Mr. John Laxon, Regional
Director- India, South East Asia and Middle East added,
“We have
seen a 17% increase in the numbers of Indian students choosing New Zealand
universities, and now with
a wider scholarship package we are excited to extend the opportunity for
undergraduate students to experience a world-class New Zealand education. All
our universities are ranked in the top 3% of universities in the world,
offering globally recognised qualifications and career opportunities.”
