There are a variety of reasons as to why we think New Zealand is the place to study. We are ranked the second most peaceful country in the world and the second happiest country in the world. Our two campuses are both located in the central North Island, and some of the most famous Kiwi attractions are within only a few hours' drive.
We have accommodation options available for both our Hamilton and Tauranga campuses. Our Halls of Residences offer a home-away-from-home environment with full support, catered options and the opportunity to make lifelong friends. We also have homestay options for those under 18 years old and accommodation available over the summer break.
