Innovative ENZ universities’ partnership creates pipeline of international students

ENZ and New Zealand’s eight universities have announced a partnership with UK-based qualifications provider the University Consortium (NCUK) that will allow students from more than 30 countries to begin a New Zealand university qualification without leaving home.

The pathways initiative enables international students to begin study in their home countries towards Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at any of New Zealand’s eight universities, including the University of Canterbury.

Students commencing the pathway in 2021 would start either their New Zealand or online study in 2022 or 2023, once they complete one of three, relevant NCUK pathway qualifications:

All New Zealand universities are supporting this partnership, committing at least $300,000 per annum across the sector in dedicated NCUK scholarships. The University Quality Assurance Committee (CUAP) has recognised the NCUK Foundation Year programme as being equivalent to university entrance.  

The partnership will give students flexibility to work towards New Zealand university undergraduate and postgraduate qualifications while borders are closed. 

NCUK Study Centres will start promoting pathway qualifications to study at New Zealand universities from December for the next cohort intake in March 2021.
