Guide for International Students

AIAS offers a warm welcome to the International students and invite them to gain NZQA approved education in the following fields:

Auckland – ‘The city of Sails’

Choosing to study overseas is one of the most important decisions you will take. Every year thousands of international students choose New Zealand, “the world’s most free market capitalist economies” for their studies. The climate of Auckland is fairly warm with little snowfall during the winter.

Auckland provides the best earning opportunity of all the cities of New Zealand. Greater Auckland, Southern parts of Auckland and Manukau City are the commercial hubs of Auckland.

Almost every International Flights go through Auckland to New Zealand. There are also a number of domestic flights connecting the major cities of New Zealand to Auckland. The main railway station is at Beach Road which is one kilometer east of the main city. Cars and taxis could also be hired for traveling to other cities of New Zealand.

Inhabited by people from Europe, Asia and Pacific regions, Auckland is a multi-cultural land. It is a home of the largest Polynesian population of the world. With some of the best educational institutes of the world and great employment opportunity quite a large amount of people immigrate from all over the world to Auckland.
