Application

Provider deadlines require students to submit all application materials to AU Abroad by March 15 (Fall and full-year programs; please note that this is two weeks prior to our Enclave application deadline) and October 15 (Spring programs). In addition to the application materials listed on our Apply page, students are required to submit the following materials for AustraLearn's application:

Visa

In order to study in New Zealand, students must apply for a student visa from the New Zealand Immigration Service. AustraLearn staff will provide details on visas during the pre-departure phase, however, it is the student's responsibility to contact the nearest New Zealand Diplomatic Post (such as the Embassy or a local Consular Office) to learn about the application process and to find out what documents are needed to obtain a student visa. Full details on visa and permit requirements, advice on rights to employment in New Zealand while studying and reporting requirements are available through the New Zealand Immigration Service and may be viewed on their website.
