• ENZ launches China Savvy

  Developed by ENZ’s in-market China team in collaboration with New Zealand providers, China Savvy aims to equip New Zealand education providers with insights into Chinese students, best practice for the China market, and practical advice on how to succeed in education business in China.

  China Savvy is open to all New Zealand providers via the Skills Lab and includes videos with animated learning and links to various reports and online resources. 

  Specific lessons include Chinese education customer motivations, presenting to Chinese audiences, planning business trips to China, navigating Chinese meal and gift culture and making the best use of Chinese social media (namely, WeChat) – giving users a rich picture so they can approach the China market with confidence. 

  ENZ International Market Manager for China, Ross Fisher, anticipates China Savvy will be most suitable for the school sector but says there are plenty of transferable insights for other sectors too.

  “We’ve tried to create a ‘blended’ learning experience for international education professionals starting out in China, as well those informed practitioners already operating in the market who are looking for some additional insights into best practice, product development, marketing and the mind of the Chinese education customer.”

  As ENZ is assessing the utility of the China Savvy product, we welcome any feedback you may have by using the feedback form on the China Savvy landing page.

  Further enquiries can be directed to Ross.Fisher@enz.govt.nz

• INZ student visa processing update

  Immigration New Zealand’s (INZ) Palmerston North Area Office (PNAO) is coming out of the peak processing period for onshore student visa applications, with the last of the March visa applications still to be processed.

  The standard processing timeframe for a student visa application is 20 working days for an online application, and 25 working days for a paper-based application.

  Kimberley Polata, PNAO Head of Operations, said her team is working on applications received within the last 20 days and is committed to clearing these applications by the end of April.

  Progress has already been made towards this, with PNAO sending out nearly 1,800 visa decisions in the last week alone, she said

  “There are approximately 1,100 visa applications where further documentation or information has been requested from the student, and this is required in order to compete the application.”

  Ms Polata asks that education providers check in with their students who are still waiting for their visa decision and ask them to check their email and online applications for communication from INZ.

• Facebook insights on international students

  With the rise of Facebook Messenger picked as a social media trend for 2017, ENZ’s social communities team have been analysing students’ messages to the Study in New Zealand Facebook page they’ve received since November.  

  The team identified trends and summarised the most common enquiries about New Zealand education levels, course info as well as the top countries that these student enquiries came from. 

  Olivia Silverwood, ENZ’s International Social Communities Manager says the results were often surprising, but positive. 

  “It’s interesting that some of the top countries we’ve received enquiries from aren’t markets where we’ve done any proactive marketing – it’s encouraging to see New Zealand is appearing on students’ radars organically.” 

  The Facebook enquiries also indicated that most students are interested in STEM subjects, and postgraduate education. The most common questions focused on course info, costs, scholarships, how to apply – as well as info about visas. 

  “New Zealand is continuing to draw high-value students, and the benefits New Zealand offers international postgraduate students are being noticed,” said Olivia. 

  “The kinds of questions people ask us are about the practical side of study abroad, suggesting that these students aren’t just dreaming about coming to New Zealand, but are already planning and budgeting and taking the first steps.”
