Study, graduate, and stay to work for three years.
Over 12,000 students have already travelled with us.
PROGRAM INFORMATION
New Zealand has eight public universities, all within the NZQCF, the national qualifications framework. Degrees are internationally recognized and the system is very similar to the British one. But what truly sets New Zealand apart is what happens after you graduate. A Level 7 qualification or higher gives you access to the Post Study Work Visa, an open work permit of up to three years: you can work for any company, in any sector, without needing a prior job offer. Three years is more than what Australia or Ireland offer for most profiles, and it is enough time to build a real career and explore residency pathways.
With a Master's degree (Level 9), you get the full three years of an open work permit. With a Bachelor's degree (Level 7) or a postgraduate certificate/diploma (Level 8), the duration matches the time you have studied, with a minimum of 30 weeks full-time. And starting in November 2026, it will be extended to those who take a Level 7 Graduate Diploma while already having a prior degree from any country, with a permit of up to one year.
From 1 to 2 years (master's degree) or from 3 to 4 years (bachelor's degree)
25 hours/week while studying. Upon graduation, up to a 3-year open work permit
IELTS 6.0 for undergraduate, 6.5 for master's (varies by university and degree)
Main intakes in February and July

STUDENT STORIES
Before travelling, they had the same doubts you have.
One of my best discoveries in recent years. An agency that responds immediately, effective at resolving any situation, with a highly coordinated team of professionals that ensures top-quality support throughout your experience. Australia without Australian Way wouldn't have been nearly as amazing. THANKS 🫂

I had issues with my WHV in Australia and ended up moving to New Zealand, and honestly, the support has been incredible. Eduardo gives you all the confidence and the push you need to start the adventure, and it's absolutely worth it. To anyone who's on the fence, the answer is YES!

What started as a temporary experience became a profound, wonderful life change. My daughter now lives in Melbourne, has obtained Australian citizenship, and has recently been offered a place to study Medicine.

We were already at check-in, just over an hour before the flight, when they spotted an issue with the visa. We contacted them and within minutes they told us exactly what to do and had it all sorted.

They applied for my visa on July 1st and got it approved on the first try. When I arrived in Sydney, they kept supporting and guiding me throughout my entire stay.

Take the leap. We help with your visa and your course, and we're there to welcome you with open arms at your destination.
What everyone asks us on the first call.
Up to three years with a master's or doctoral degree. With a bachelor's or postgraduate degree, the duration matches the time you studied full-time in New Zealand, with a minimum of 30 weeks. It is an open visa: you work for whoever you want, in whatever sector you want. It is only granted once per person, so it is best to plan carefully which qualification you take.
Universities usually ask for around an IELTS 6.0 for an undergraduate degree and 6.5 for a master's, although it varies by program. If you don't reach it yet, you can start with an English course and link it to the university within the same plan.
Yes, up to 25 hours per week during the academic term, and full-time during holidays. We tell you how much you get paid and how taxes work in our guide to working in New Zealand.
New Zealand Immigration requires proof of 20,000 NZD per year for living expenses, in addition to the full tuition fee and the return ticket. The funds must be traceable: they ask for bank statements of at least three months. You have it detailed in our guide to visas for New Zealand.
