  • Update on New Zealand-China Tripartite Fund 2020

    As previously advertised, the deadline for applications is 1 March 2020, with a project start date of 1 May 2020, and end date of 30 April 2021.

    Education New Zealand will provides updates on this as necessary.

    Since its inception in 2005, the Tripartite Fund has supported the development of strategic research relationships between New Zealand and China.

    Universities are invited to submit proposals for the latest round, with up to $30,000 available per application to support quality, high-level research and collaboration. The fund seeks to initiate new tripartite partnerships and facilitate the development of existing partnerships between a New Zealand university and two Chinese partner universities. 

    Eligible Tripartite Fund subjects can be drawn from the arts, humanities, social sciences, sciences and applied sciences including agriculture, food safety, conservation, forestry, advanced materials engineering and environmental science.

    Since 2009, Auckland University of Technology (AUT) has worked on tripartite collaborative projects with Shanghai Jiao-Tong University (SJTU) and Xinjiang University in China.

    AUT Professor of Computer Science and Director KEDRI, Nikola Kasabov, said that the ‘three brothers’ partners have exchanged multiple visits of both staff members and students.

    “The outcomes have been outstanding, including a large number of joint papers published in international journals and conferences, joint methods and software development in computational intelligence and applications in health, environment protection, and predicting hazardous events.”

    Professor Kasabov was also appointed as Advisory Professor to SJTU, meeting with PhD students and staff on an annual basis.

    “The collaboration helps staff and students to work together on new frontiers of information and computer sciences and technologies along with important applications for both countries.”

    To apply, complete this application form and submit it to china@enz.govt.nz. Any queries can also be sent to this address.

    Student visa applications: Missed intakes and next steps

    Some students who applied late for study in 2026 may not have received a visa decision in time for their intended intake. If a student has missed their intake, what happens next depends on when their study can begin.

    If a student can start later in 2026: In some cases, we may be able to approve the application in principle, provided other requirements are met. Any outstanding information will need to be supplied by the date given, and the visa can then be granted once all requirements are satisfied.

    If a student can’t start until 2027: Withdrawing the application and requesting a fee refund is generally the best option. Supporting information can become outdated over time, and personal circumstances (including health) may change. Applications for the 2027 academic year should be submitted around September 2026.

    Working on a student visa

    The ‘Working on a student visa’ page on the Immigration New Zealand website has been updated to clarify the following: Secondary school students who have finished studies, and who have associated work rights, can continue to work part-time for up to 25 hours (or full-time during the Christmas and New Year holiday period) for the remainder of their visa.

    Funds Transfer Scheme now available for Nepal

    As of 2 April 2026, Nepal is now included in the Funds Transfer Scheme (FTS), delivered through ANZ Bank New Zealand Limited.

    The FTS helps reduce the amount of financial documentation students need to provide and gives us greater confidence that students have access to enough funds while in New Zealand. Expanding the scheme to more countries is also expected to support faster processing.

    For most Nepalese students whose applications are approved in principle, use of the FTS will be required.

  • International Pathway Programme for Indonesian business students

    The partnership, named the International Pathway Programme (IPP) in Business, will allow students in Indonesia to complete their first year of study with i3L School of Business, and then progress directly into the second and third year of study under the University of Canterbury’s Bachelor of Commerce programme.

    ENZ’s Regional Director, Asia, Ben Burrowes, said the partnership marks an important milestone in New Zealand’s relationship with Indonesia in the education sector.  

    “We look forward to witnessing how the skillsets and knowledge of both student communities will merge to create a more well-rounded and enriching learning experience. We highly value our international education partners, and we hope to establish more such partnerships in Indonesia,” Mr Burrowes said.  

    i3L School of Business’s Vice Rector of Admissions, Marketing and Institutional Development, Dr Tjong Budi Santoso, said the launch of the partnership is momentous for the institution.  

    “It has always been a goal of ours to empower students by presenting them with the opportunity to further their studies in International Business in some of the world’s best universities, such as University of Canterbury. This marks the first time that we are partnering with an esteemed New Zealand university, and we look forward to building our working relationship with New Zealand and its educational institutions even further.” 

    University of Canterbury Business School’s Internationalisation Director, William Shannon, commented, “The importance of having international experience and connections is highly crucial today as more business is conducted on a global scale.  

    “We hope that both student communities will benefit greatly from this programme and can contribute even further to the future economy and society of both New Zealand and Indonesia.”  

    This education pathway to the University of Canterbury is now open for applications with the first intake starting in September 2022.

  • From the CE: Manaakitanga: it's what we do

    First, I want to acknowledge the complex and difficult situation that many students and their families, as well as agents, are facing during this period of uncertainty. This is a tough time, and I know there are a lot of people working hard in trying to make things a bit easier.

    While there are no confirmed cases of coronavirus in New Zealand to date, there’s no doubt that this has been a frustrating start to the school and academic year.

    I also want to acknowledge our sector – the education providers, peak bodies and related government agencies – who have been working hard to address this rapidly changing situation, both here and internationally.

    Led by the Ministry of Health, and the Ministry of Education for the education sector, our sector has been working hard to respond to the impact of the coronavirus and support our international students.

    Right now, we’re continuing to respond to short-term issues, while also looking at the longer term picture.

    Looking ahead, amongst other things, we’re thinking about how we recognise and acknowledge the commitment that international students have made to study in New Zealand. We also need to remain a sought-after education destination and ensure students continue to be warmly welcomed to our shores.

    Manaakitanga – to look after one another by extending respect, hospitality and warmth – must underpin everything we do.

    I’d also like to thank the homestay providers and others who have continued to warmly welcome international students into their homes, and the staff who have ensured everyone has the support they need.

    He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!

    What is the most important thing in the world? It is people! It is people! It is people!

  • New Zealand-India academic partnerships to be strengthened through proposed IITD New Zealand Centre

    It is expected that the centre will host visiting researchers and academics, act as a forum for diplomatic and trade dialogue among different sectors, and support student mobility.

    ENZ Regional Director – Asia, John Laxon says that the New Zealand Centre would be a one-of-a-kind research establishment.

    “A research-focused New Zealand Centre at IIT Delhi builds on New Zealand’s status as the preferred education destination for students, with a 71 per cent increase in Indian students choosing to study in New Zealand universities in 2019. We are committed to strengthening the research and education ties between New Zealand and India, and are excited to be partnering with a prestigious institution in IIT Delhi.”

    Dean of Alumni Affairs and International Programmes, Prof. Sanjeev Sanghi, says IIT Delhi was committed to quality education for students and pleased to be associated with New Zealand.

    “The New Zealand Centre embodies our efforts to embrace internationalisation, open up opportunities for new research collaborations and increase global exposure for our students. We look forward to collaborating more with universities from New Zealand.”
