As a former British colony, New Zealand's education system is based on the prestigious British system. New Zealand's universities perform very highly on a global level. Many feature in international university rankings like the Times Higher Education Supplement Top 500 and the Shanghai Jiao Tong Top 500.
New Zealand education is increasingly international in character, driven by trends, which include the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) revolution, employment markets extending beyond national borders, and a well-travelled population of students, teaching staff and researchers. New Zealand was the first country to adopt a code of practice that sets out standards for the care of international students, in and out of the classroom. All institutions that host international students have staff dedicated to ensuring their time in New Zealand is happy and successful.
Most of the universities have been taking International students for the last 50 - 60 years. About 9% of total students enrolled in New Zealand universities are international students. Auckland, Christchurch, Palmerstone North, Dunedin, Hamilton and Wellington cities house most of the top ranked universities in this country.Students are given a visa to search for a job after completion of their course and also have a good opportunity to migrate.
