Q.1. What are the Employment options in New Zealand?
Ans: If you are studying a three-year course, you are allowed to work during the summer holidays and up to 15 hours per week during the academic year. You will need a ''variation of conditions'' to your student permit. This is issued by the New Zealand Immigration Service. A fee may be charged.

Q.2. What is the Application Procedure?
Ans: Once you have found the New Zealand institution and course of study you wish to apply for, take the following steps to enrol yourself :
  1. Complete the relevant application form(s) for your chosen course/s and return them to GeeBee. Include a photo, educational documents (originals or certified photocopies) and certified translations, as required.

Q.3. What is the living cost?
Ans: Many international students admire the high standard of living in New Zealand. In general, the cost of living is akin to that in Australia, and less than in Britain. The cost of education, in particular, is highly competitive, which means that in New Zealand, you can afford a world-class education.

It costs 45 cents to post a letter within New Zealand. A Big Mac at McDonald's costs $3.95. Local telephone calls are free. It costs between $8.50-$12.00 to go to the movies. Public transport is more expensive than in countries with greater population density. It is recommended that tertiary students budget for up to $20,000 in living expenses per annum.

Ans: Tertiary institutions will ask for original documents or certified photocopies of one of the following:
  • An IELTS (International English Language Testing System) band score of 6 with no band less than 5.5.

It assesses your ability to read, write, speak and listen in academic or general training contexts. It is developed and managed by the University of Cambridge, the British Council and IDP Education Australia.
