for your money. Living expenses and tuition costs are
comparatively affordable.
Tuition fees vary depending on the type of course (arts or
science; undergraduate/bachelor or postgraduate) and the
duration of the course.
Accommodation
Like other parts of the world, the cost of rental
accommodation varies greatly depending on where you
study and the style of accommodation. As a guide, the
national median rental in May 2013 was NZ$360 per week
for a three-bedroom home. In central parts of Auckland
and Wellington, the median was nearer NZ$460 a week
with more desirable homes up to NZ$660 per week.

Employment prospects
In New Zealand, most students enrolled in a course of 12 months'
duration or longer can work part-time for up to 20 hours a week during
semester and during holiday periods.
This not only helps top up the bank balance, but also provides an
excellent opportunity to integrate in the community and meet new
people.
After graduation
With skill shortages across various sectors in the New Zealand labour
market, graduates are in high demand in New Zealand.
Students with skills in demand and who wish to stay in New Zealand
long-term may apply for a Skilled Migrant visa, which will allow them to
live and work in New Zealand permanently.
