  • New undergraduate scholarship programme for Vietnamese students

    The Awards are designed for Vietnamese students pursuing undergraduate studies in New Zealand.  

    With the announcement of the new scholarship scheme, New Zealand now provides a full suite of support for Vietnamese students at all study levels with its government-supported scholarship programmes. In addition to the new programme, the New Zealand Schools Scholarships are specifically on offer for Vietnamese students in grades 8, 9, and 10 to study at New Zealand high schools, as well as Manaaki Scholarships for Vietnamese candidates pursuing postgraduate study programmes in New Zealand. 

    Caroline Beresford (3rd from right), NZ Ambassador to Vietnam, supported the launch by hosting a media briefing to promote the new scholarship programme on 15 November

    Commenting on the initiative, Ben Burrowes, Acting General Manager – International at ENZ said, “New Zealand’s tertiary education system is highly regarded globally for its positive impacts on students and communities. The inclusion of all New Zealand universities in the new programme underscores our strong commitment to expanding learning and development opportunities for Vietnamese students at our world leading institutions. The initiative also demonstrates New Zealand’s dedication to fostering our bilateral educational ties as we approach the 50th anniversary of our longstanding partnership with Vietnam next year.” 

    The 2025 programme offers 14 scholarships, worth NZD 15,000 each, for students enrolling at one of New Zealand's eight universities: University of Auckland, Auckland University of Technology, University of Waikato, Massey University, Victoria University of Wellington, University of Canterbury, Lincoln University, and University of Otago ed. Applications are expected to open in May 2025 for the February 2026 intake.

  • From the CE: Accountability and balance

    ENZ has experienced a challenging operating environment in recent years, and it continues to work through changing expectations. In order to best prepare the organisation for the challenges ahead, I recently initiated an organisational restructure, the decisions of which were released to staff this week following a two-week consultation process. 

    I have been very clear as to what I am looking to achieve and have set out the following driving principles of:

    • Clear accountability for the delivery of core services and enabling support.
    • Achieving a balance between New Zealand based and offshore capability.
    • Improving decision making, communication and collaboration by ensuring appropriate spans of control.
    • Optimising spend, where appropriate, to meet government expectations.
    • Identifying and creating opportunities for investment into the future capability needed to deliver our strategy.
    • Positioning ENZ to deliver at speed, with agility and reinforce a culture of high performance.

    Key changes include a realignment and reduction of Senior Leadership roles by more than half, a focus on lifting the capability and resourcing of our international teams, changes for Sector Engagement and Services with a pivot toward a stronger focus on international services, and the creation of a Strategy, Capability and Performance Group. In total 28 roles have been disestablished with 17 new roles created. 

    ENZ now moves into a process to fill these new roles – with leadership roles to be advertised externally shortly. The new organisational structure will come into effect on 3 February 2025. 

    Change is never easy and I understand how difficult this has been for our ENZ team. I am very proud of the professional way everyone has engaged with this process. 

    I appreciate your understanding and patience for our people as we work through the implementation of this new structure. In the meantime, your key contacts and teams will remain the same. I will be able to provide a further update in the New Year.

    Kindness to all people is a great treasure.

  • Empowering early career scientists through New Zealand-Germany research collaboration

    The third funding round of the New Zealand-German academic exchange programme, known as the Programmes for Project-Related Personal Exchange (PPP programme), has enabled five New Zealand research projects to undertake research with academic partners from Germany.

    The following universities have formed partnerships:

    • University of Auckland and University of Paderborn
      Topic: Preparing students for a data science future using innovative teaching  

    • University of Auckland and the Technical University of Dortmund
      Topic: The development of contextual visual processing in the Ebbinghaus: illusion in children and its underlying neuronal basis (EBBI-KIDS) 

    • University of Auckland and University Medical Centre Hamburg-Eppendorf
      Topic: Perspectives of equitable medical education: a comparison between Aotearoa New Zealand and Germany

    • University of Canterbury and Westcoast University of Applied Sciences
      Topic: Younger generations as reflexive agents of change: Motivating Generation (Gen) Z to participate in the voluntary sector

    • University of Otago and Helmholtz Munich
      Topic: Modulation of central GIPR signalling to increase health during ageing

    The programme invited researchers to think of a project that would particularly benefit from working with German academic counterparts. Research projects will run from 2025 to 2026, with work taking place in both New Zealand and Germany. 

    Acting Regional Director, Americas & Europe, Natalie Lulia, said the programme aims to strengthen the relationships between New Zealand and German academics and institutions.   

    “It opens up New Zealand researchers to a global network of academics.  

    “Since the programme’s beginning, we’ve seen awardees think forward and explore possibilities of further collaboration with their research partners” she said. 

    The PPP programme was established in 2021, when ENZ and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) signed a Memorandum of Understanding.   

    The bilateral agreement between ENZ and the DAAD enables young academics to further their careers and expand their international research links. ENZ contributes funding to support New Zealand researchers, while the DAAD supports German researchers to travel to New Zealand.

  • Global Agent Webinar: Understanding best practice for student visa applications

    Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao (ENZ) and Immigration New Zealand (INZ) collaborated to organise a webinar for education agents in early March on best practice for lodging student visa applications.

    The webinar was well received, with 1,364 attendees from around the world over two sessions scheduled to accommodate for different time zones.

    The session provided education agents with the latest information on visa processing, student visa insights, types of student visas, financial requirements and best practice for submitting student visa applications. It also featured a robust question and answer segment where pre-submitted questions from attendees were addressed.

    INZ Engagement Partner (Acting), Mark Andrew, said the webinar was a valuable opportunity to engage directly with education agents and answer their questions.

    “This webinar helps ensure education agents have the most up to date information and guidance to support more efficient processing and favourable outcomes based on real life examples and trends. Immigration New Zealand and Education New Zealand working in partnership to deliver the Global Agent Webinar is key to ensure a positive customer experience for agents, applicants and the wider sector.”

  • Thailand retention campaign launches to encourage long-term study in New Zealand

    ENZ Thailand has launched a retention campaign to encourage students from Thailand who have previously studied here to return to New Zealand for further study. 

    Students who choose to continue their education in New Zealand will be eligible for an air fare scholarship (valued up to NZD $3,000), making it easier for them to travel and transition into long-term study. At least 25 New Zealand education providers have volunteered to subsidise the award.

    The campaign has already generated strong interest. It was launched at the New Zealand Summer Pre-Departure Orientation on 1 March in Bangkok with over 240 students and parents in attendance.

  • PM’s mission to Viet Nam marks significant progress in international education

    Prime Minister Christopher Luxon’s recent trade mission to Viet Nam saw significant education outcomes delivered, including boosting the number of available Manaaki New Zealand Scholarship awards, increasing the number of the New Zealand Schools Scholarships (NZSS) to 45 places and introducing 14 New Zealand Universities Awards (NZUA) for the first time, as well as the announcements of several new partnerships between Vietnam and New Zealand education providers.  

    Education New Zealand Chief Executive, Amanda Malu, joined five providers for the education component of the trade mission - The University of Auckland, Auckland University of Technology, Media Design School, Pacific International Hotel Management School, and Neurofrog (edtech company). 

    The New Zealand-Vietnam EduConnect at Foreign Trade University was a significant education event in Hanoi, where Amanda joined Prime Minister Luxon in witnessing the signing of cooperation arrangements between education institutions in New Zealand and Viet Nam.  

    The EduConnect event also recognised the contribution of alumni to the friendship between our countries, with the launch of the inaugural New Zealand Alumni Network in Viet Nam. 

    ENZ Regional Director, Ben Burrowes said it was a wonderful opportunity to underscore the importance of people-to-people links in strengthening bilateral relations.  

    “This comes at an auspicious time, as New Zealand and Viet Nam celebrate the 50th anniversary of our longstanding partnership,” he added. 

    Prime Minister Christopher Luxon snaps some pictures with alumni at the New Zealand – Viet Nam EduConnect event.

    AUT Vice-Chancellor Prof. Damon Salesa, Chair of Universities New Zealand's International Committee, represented Universities New Zealand to sign the Collaboration Arrangement with the Department of International Cooperation of the Vietnam Ministry of Education and Training.  

    The arrangement provides additional support to Project 89 scholars who wish to study in New Zealand. Project 89 is one of Viet Nam’s key initiatives to support its education sector, allowing local lecturers to pursue PhD study and postgraduate study overseas on fully-funded scholarships. 

    Following the success of education engagements during this trade mission, Amanda Malu, said New Zealand sees significant potential in strengthening education partnerships with Viet Nam.  

    “New Zealand will continue to expand the range of initiatives in Viet Nam across all levels of education, from schools to postgraduate study, to make it easier for Vietnamese students to engage in knowledge exchange, innovate and realise their dreams of studying abroad,” 
     
    “With Vietnam’s ambitious education and technology goals for 2045, our nation is well-positioned to support this journey,” she added.
