Making The Right Choice Starts Here

Studying abroad is a significant investment and a life-changing experience. Take some time to explore your study opportunities in Christchurch and Canterbury.

English Language Study

Learning English in a small city is an ideal way to have fun and meet people from around the world.

Short or long term English study options are available with all of the providers in Christchurch. The practical, applied teaching style will give students the confidence and ability to use their new language skills from day one.

New Zealand Institute of International Understanding (NZIIU)

NZIIU is an incorporated non-profit, charitable trust approved by the Ministry of Education to promote international understanding through overseas student exchange. Their quality host family homestay programmes have been operating for over 30 years and in that time thousands of young people have experienced educational and cultural exchanges between New Zealand and other countries. 

There are three programmes that enable you to experience high school as a ‘Kiwi’ and live with a New Zealand family:

  • High school exchange programmes (3 months – 1 year) 
  • Short-term tour programmes (1 – 4 weeks)
