New Zealand is hosting the exhibition to showcase the country’s study options in creative and technical disciplines, including architecture, design, engineering and visual arts.
“New Zealand is a top quality education destination that equips students with the skills and experience to succeed academically in their chosen career. This is evident in the works on display in this exhibition, which include pieces from student designers, photographers, aspiring architects and innovative engineers,” said Izak Human, regional director Southeast Asia for state agency Education New Zealand.
“Our approach to education and learning is innovative, but also welcoming and personalised. Studying in New Zealand helps students discover what they’re capable of and offers them the support to realise their goals and ambitions.”
The exhibition includes work from students studying at a range of levels in New Zealand from universities to institutes of technology and private training establishments.
Each year, around 3,000 Thai students study in New Zealand in primary, secondary and tertiary education.
The country is a top destination for studying that performs extremely well in international tertiary ranking systems. All of New Zealand’s universities were among the world’s top 500 in the latest QS world rankings. – The Nation
