Serious

seriously considering studying in new zealand...but probably have no ideas about visas and registering for university

If you know what you want to study, find a university here that offers it and contact the university directly for guidance regarding registration and visas.

hi... first you have to identify which course you wish to study and this will give an idea which place of study for the selected course.  You can study in NZ without a visa if the course is less than 3 months but beyond that you have to acquire a Student Visa.  You must receive an offer from the school and these documents will be required for visa application.  You need to have the basic requirements such as your previous qualification, IELTS, passport and other related documents submitted for assessment and admission.  You may contact me for any further information as we do assist individuals who wish to study and provide information that gives you pathway should you wish to settle in New Zealand
