For students applying from overseas
Mentorship for international students in New Zealand
Getting in is the start. Staying on track once you are here is the part nobody plans for.
How we help
Getting in is the start. The part nobody plans for is the first year: a new academic culture, a new city, and often a family watching from a long way away.
Our mentorship runs alongside your studies. It combines academic support with career advice and skill development, and gives you someone to talk to when the challenges of studying in a new country pile up.
We have been international students ourselves, and we remember what that year asks of you.
