New Zealand has become the first nation to come up with a student’s idea of a ‘comfortable lifestyle’. That’s because of their low cost-of-living and affordable student fees. And, because the number of students is smaller, there is an added benefit of personal attention with a greater focus on practicality.
They are also renowned for their variety, stunning scenery and diverse range of outdoor activities. Every international student who decides to study in New Zealand knows he or she can never sit in one place, because there is always something to do.
With water sports such as jet-skiing and canoeing, New Zealand is often home to people who want to spot a volcano, or even bungee jump and jet boat rides. Due to its spectacular scenery, films such as “The Hobbit” and “The Lord Of The Rings” were also shot here.
New Zealand’s most famous cities are Aucklands, Hamilton, and Wellington.
Undergraduate tuition ranges from $15,000 to $25,000 a year. A postgraduate course costs between $10,000 and $30,000 a year.
Living costs depend on the student’s lifestyle, but that would be between $7,000 and $12,000 a year. So the total cost of living would rise from $20,000 to $45,000 a year.
Grants make it easier for international students to benefit from their education costs. There are two main types of bursaries awarded by Australian universities and colleges: a) merit-based bursaries b) need-based bursaries or bursaries
Achievement-oriented scholarships will be offered to students, who have achieved good results in the academic world. These are usually provided by government, local companies, businesses, universities or community organisations. These grants will also be offered to those with exceptional extra-curricular achievements or incredible skills.
While scholarships are awarded to economically disadvantaged students with high academic achievement. These grants are highly competitive, as students need to demonstrate their academic potential in order to receive financial support from these grants.
