New Zealand ASEAN Scholars Awards

New Zealand and ASEAN
New Zealand is a long-standing and committed  partner of ASEAN.
ASEAN and New Zealand have worked together over 35 years to build trade and business links, foster close political relationships and address regional issues.

 
Studying in New Zealand
New Zealand is known throughout the world for its space, natural beauty and tranquility. It is a friendly, multicultural nation of just over 4 million people.

New Zealand education institutions observe and are bound by the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students. This means that international students studying in New Zealand can expect a high level of support.

New Zealand education institutions and facilities are world class and an internationally recognized New Zealand qualification opens up new and exciting opportunities.
