Are you planning to study abroad? Well, look no further than New Zealand — a country full of diverse cultures, vibrant cities, beautiful scenery and welcoming people. It’s a place with a great quality of life where you’re set to make greater memories — a fact Chinese student Kyle can confirm.
“Growing up in a big city and living in the concrete jungle, I wanted to try something different. I wanted to try a chilled lifestyle and some outdoor activities — New Zealand sounded like a good destination for me,” says Kyle.
It doesn’t take long for international students to discover how safe, peaceful and happy New Zealand is. According to the Global Peace Index 2021, New Zealand is the second most peaceful country in the world — something you’ll notice the moment you arrive. This is thanks to the country’s unique cultural value — “Kaitiakitanga” — which strives to care for the world. Education, lifestyle, creativity and innovative industries all embrace this forward-looking value — little wonder the country is well-respected and internationally recognised.

In Auckland, you’ll get an exciting mix of city life, relaxed beaches, beautiful surrounds and adventure. Located on the North Island, Auckland is one of the most liveable cities in the world — it is one of the top three cities for quality of life, thanks to its enviable lifestyle and low cost of living. Vietnamese student Clara loves every moment of her time here.
“I really enjoy going to the Viaduct. It’s an amazing place with a lot of food and ice cream. It’s really peaceful and you get to see all the beautiful yachts. I think because we are such a large group of friends, sitting in that busy place, eating ice cream and talking is actually good,” said Clara.
Clara is now pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce at the University of Auckland, after completing the Auckland Foundation Year (now replaced by the Foundation Studies Certificate) at Taylors College Auckland.
Taylors College Auckland offers a modern learning environment and all the academic, technical and personal support you need to join an undergraduate degree at New Zealand’s finest university. Clara can attest to this.
“Taylors College Auckland gave me a really good foundation, friends-wise and education-wise with teaching and study techniques. It helped a lot to get me to where I am now, confident and studying,” says Clara.
