Summer plans: what students need to know
Under current border settings, tertiary-level international students will need to make careful and informed decisions about their plans for the summer period.
Any international student who chooses to return home (or otherwise leave New Zealand) over the summer break needs to be aware that they are not eligible to re-enter the country to continue study in early 2021 under current border settings. Students facing hardship will need to reconsider whether they should continue to stay in New Zealand or are better to return home.
International students currently in New Zealand who intend to continue to study in 2021 have the following options at the end of this academic year:
- Remain here over the break and continue their New Zealand study next year
- Find additional summer school study programmes
- Return home and continue their New Zealand study online next year, if their institution supports this option
- Return home and cease their New Zealand study.
Study providers are asked to ensure they are familiar with their ongoing Code obligations over the summer period, and to assist students to understand their options.
Education New Zealand wants to complement and spread the word about the excellent work the sector and regional economic development agencies are all currently undertaking.
We are also mindful that remaining in New Zealand will bring challenges for students and so supporting student connection and wellbeing is also a focus over this time.
At ENZ we are:
- Creating new NauMai NZ pages, specifically aimed towards keeping students in New Zealand over the summer.
- The aim of these pages is to provide a central repository of activities and opportunities, addressing key themes of study, recreation, skill development, and connection with other students.
- They will signpost out to activity happening at a regional and national level, as well as highlighting ENZ-led online initiatives.
- These pages will be live at the end of September
- Hosting a Summer in NZ online virtual fair for international students in NZ on 31 October, where regions and contributing organisations will have a chance to showcase summer activities that they are developing and delivering. Students will be able to register via NauMai NZ at the beginning of October.
- Activating a variety of communications channels to direct students to NauMai NZ and the Summer in NZ fair to maximise awareness of summer opportunities and to gently encourage consideration of further study to those whose programmes may be finishing.
- Facilitating online events and opportunities to support student wellbeing and connection over the summer period.
We look forward to showcasing the fantastic experiences for students here in New Zealand over summer 2020/2021, building their capability, and supporting their wellbeing and connection to Aotearoa New Zealand. Further information will be available in the coming weeks.

EIT signs MOU with Sunway University in Malaysia
The MOU, signed on 27 May at a ceremony at Sunway University in Selangor, Malaysia, will see the two institutions working together to promote education pathways and short-term student and teacher exchanges.
New Zealand High Commissioner to Malaysia, Hunter Nottage, said he welcomed the new collaboration agreement.
“It’s fantastic to see a New Zealand institution enter into this agreement with a Malaysian university, and I hope this new partnership offers Sunway University students an opportunity to experience a New Zealand education,” Nottage said.
EIT International Marketing Manager, Helen Kemp, said the MOU would pave the way for collaborations between the two institutions, particularly with art and design qualifications.
“This is a great opportunity for bringing together New Zealand and Malaysian cultures and ideas that could benefit the design community as a whole,” Kemp said.
“Sunway students in Malaysia who complete a two-year Diploma in Design will now be able to pathway into the EIT Bachelor of Creative Practice in New Zealand.”
Market Manager – Malaysia and Philippines, Desiree Lee, said the education relationship between Malaysia and New Zealand has continued to develop over the last 70 years.
“The first Malaysian students arrived in New Zealand in the 1950s under the Colombo Plan, and they returned home to make a big impact in Malaysia and on the world stage. Since then, the education relationship between the two countries has continued to develop with a steady growth in the number of Malaysian students in New Zealand,” Lee said.
“International collaborations and academic mobility between New Zealand and Malaysian education institutions are a great way to raise institution profiles but also to strengthen diplomacy and trade links over the long term.”
The MOU signing was followed by a discussion on possible areas of collaboration between Sunway University’s School of Arts and EIT’s IDEAschool, including short-term student and staff exchanges.

ENZ announces Tripartite Fund awardees
The fund awards each university $30,000 to progress research with university partners in China in areas such as cancer research, national parks and conservation, and media and information.
The New Zealand-China Tripartite Fund is an ENZ-sponsored initiative that has been seeding research collaborations between New Zealand and Chinese universities over the last 15 years.
ENZ’s Regional Director – Asia, John Laxon, said ENZ was committed to showcasing and supporting the reputation of New Zealand universities in China, particularly their high-calibre researchers and postgraduate programmes.
“We look forward to further partnering with New Zealand universities, and to welcoming more Chinese students to study in New Zealand – ranked as the best English-speaking education system in the world by the Economist Intelligence Unit’s Educating for the Future Index 2018”.
2019-20 fund awardee Dr Mingsheng Li, Massey University, said he was excited about using tripartite funding to advance his work on developing media and information literacy (MIL) for students and teachers in China in collaboration with his university colleague, Professor Stephen Croucher and research partners at Shenzhen University and Yunnan Normal University.
The Tripartite Fund has helped cover travel and logistics costs for Associate Professor Mick Abbott of Lincoln University to collaborate with Tsinghua University and Kunming University of Science and Technology in conducing comparative research of Chinese and New Zealand national parks, and conservation and heritage areas.
Dr Abbott said the fund’s ongoing support had been invaluable in its outcomes for numerous staff exchanges and shared research outputs.
“It also enabled Lincoln [University] to work with partners to present an exhibition in Beijing in 2017 on the development of the National Parks in Aotearoa New Zealand, which over 50,000 people attended.”
Associate Professor Jun Lu said AUT was grateful for the Tripartite Fund which enabled them to start a great relationship with two Chinese universities.
“We established collaborative research projects in various health and medicine areas and expanded our research to three Chinese universities.
“The latest round of funding will enable us to consolidate existing ties and expand our collaboration to more Chinese universities and academics in all universities involved.”
