Study in a world leading agricultural country

You can work and play in the great outdoors when you study agriculture and related subjects in New Zealand. Our vibrant, modern cities are never far from from the countryside, the bush, the mountains or the beaches, and Kiwis' relaxed pace of life gives you time to travel and explore.

One of the most peaceful and least corrupt nations on Earth, New Zealand is a multicultural society with friendly, welcoming people. You'll enjoy the outstanding-quality food, including the exceptional meat, fish, fruit and vegetables - most of it grown here.

Working while studying can be a good way to gain New Zealand work experience and help support you while you're studying abroad.

Student visa holders may be able to work up to 20 hours per week and full-time during scheduled holidays, depending on their programme of study. Masters by research or PhD students may work full-time throughout their studies.

You can study up to three consecutive programmes over five years on a single Pathway Student Visa.
