• ENZ Facebook group connects international students

  The ENZ social media team has created #MyStudyinNZ Journey, a Facebook group for international students across New Zealand to connect, share upcoming events and meetups, ask questions and offer advice.

  ENZ Director of Student Experience, Hayley Shields, says the group is a space for international students to support one another while also offering ENZ valuable learnings about the types of information they need. Plans are in place for a similar group on WeChat to be launched later in the year.

  “This idea has come out of our student experience research where students told us they value the advice of other students. Facebook communities provide an easy forum for our international students to connect.” 

  To ensure the Facebook group is entirely student-focussed, ENZ has recruited a group of domestic and international students to act as moderators. They will ensure students get the information they need while maintaining the group atmosphere as a safe and positive space.

  One of the Facebook moderators, Pritchard Mukuka, says, “For me, this group means bringing home, security and comfort to fellow international students to make their study and stay as pleasant as possible.”

  How education providers can get involved

  Please share the Facebook group details with your international students and encourage them to join up.

  If you would like to share information about events taking place at your institution with the group, please email ENZ International Social Engagement Manager, Olivia Silverwood, on olivia.silverwood@enz.govt.nz

• 2026 International Student Experience Survey fieldwork is now live

  Fieldwork for the 2026 International Student Experience Survey (ISES) is now underway, having launched on Monday 20 April. International students across all New Zealand education subsectors are being invited to share their views on key aspects of the student journey – from choosing where to study and preparing for arrival, through to orientation, education quality, living experiences, connections, work opportunities and value for money.

  Last year, more than 5,000 international students shared their experiences of studying in New Zealand.

  Key highlights included:
  •    87% rated their overall experience positively, with 43% rating it ‘excellent’ 
  •    92% rated their experience of people and connections positively

  These results reflect the strength of New Zealand’s international education offering and the collective effort across the sector to enhance the international student experience. 

  The ISES plays a vital role in building a robust, sector-wide picture of the international student experience.

  We would like to sincerely thank the international education sector peak bodies and education providers who are supporting the survey and helping to maximise student participation.

  Survey fieldwork will run until late May, and we look forward to sharing the insights from this year’s survey with the sector later in 2026.

  If you have any questions about the survey, please get in touch with ENZ’s Senior Insights Analyst, Kyla Steenhart at kyla.steenhart@enz.govt.nz.

• Online education pilot with FutureLearn enters second phase

  A webinar for interested providers on 31 March will be followed by an international campaign from 30 June to end of September 2022.  

  Education New Zealand Manapou ki te Ao will again partner with FutureLearn, a London-based platform with a global learner base of 17+ million people. The successful first phase saw 22 online courses from New Zealand providers attract more than 80,000 enrolments from learners in over 200 countries, highlighting the potential of online study platforms to reach new global audiences. 

  The focus of this second phase will be on how to convert an online audience into a sustainable commercial proposition for New Zealand-based providers.  

  We are interested in hearing from providers who have online content ready to go, or who are confident they can develop online content quickly. We are looking primarily to include short, taster courses (6-20 hours of learning). There is also scope for short credit-bearing courses, including micro-credentials. 

  This opportunity is open to both registered and non-registered education providers, EdTech companies, regional economic bodies and others. If you have education content and you’re interested in participating, please register for our information webinar on 31 March 2022 to find out more. 

  Participants have told us that the benefits of this initiative included being able to explore online distribution models and understand more about who the online audience is, and how they behave in a learning environment. It also presents an opportunity for providers to test and learn at low cost and with low risk, as well as profiling their brand to a global audience.   

  Online education is part of a programme of work to diversify international education products and services, in line with the New Zealand International Education Strategy 2018-2030. 

  Phase 1 pilot with FutureLearn

  Through the first pilot we confirmed there is demand for online courses from New Zealand providers, willingness by many in the sector to pilot online learning, and that New Zealand courses can attract learners in full-time employment.
