Admitting that international students contribute significantly in New Zealand's economy and cultural diversity, Martin Hookham-Simms, the Director of International at the University of Auckland (UoA), says the recent visa restrictions in several countries, including the UK and the US, will help New Zealand's universities attract more Indian students. In an exclusive interview with The Free Press Journal, Hookham-Simma says that the country, where 'all eight public universities are in the top 3% of global rankings', provides a "plethora of options to international students". He also shares his insights into UoA's initiatives for Indian students. Excerpts:
FPJ: Can you share some insight on the educational landscape in New Zealand?
Hookham-Simms: All of New Zealand's eight universities are in the top 3% in their global rankings. In a highly competitive global sector, we still need to do a lot of work to build the New Zealand brand internationally and keep the momentum going by utilising data and market intelligence.
FPJ: How do international students contribute to New Zealand's growth?
H-S: International students play a crucial role in New Zealand's education sector, contributing significantly to the country's economy and cultural diversity.
That is one reason why the New Zealand government supports international education through various policies aimed at attracting students from abroad.
This includes streamlined visa processes, post-study work opportunities, and scholarships.
FPJ: Can a tighter visa restriction in Canada, Australia, the US, and the UK benefit New Zealand in attracting Indian students?
