Australia Eight vs New Zealand Eight (QS World Ranking)

In addition to Sydney and Melbourne, Australia's two major cities for studying abroad, Brisbane, Perth and Canberra are also rated as one of the best cities for studying abroad.

There are not many big cities in New Zealand. Universities are concentrated in Auckland and Wellington, and there are smaller cities such as Dunedin and Christchurch.

Second, the difficulty of admission in New Zealand and Australia.

Secondary school students in Australia are required to finish the third grade in China. Since the first year of high school in Australia, no matter how young students are, they can't apply for visas.

On the other hand, New Zealand is much more flexible. From primary school, students over 5 years old can accept it. Parents must accompany them in primary school, and then they are not forced to accompany them.

Most Australian universities recognize China's degree and accept China high school graduates to go directly to undergraduate courses, without additional pre-university courses. At the same time, the transfer of credits is also very flexible, providing courses for undergraduates or graduate students.

New Zealand does not recognize China's tertiary education, so it is almost impossible for New Zealand to apply for a post-secondary education without credits or a master's degree.

When recruiting undergraduate students in New Zealand, universities usually need to take a one-year preparatory course before taking the first-year undergraduate course, while most polytechnics can take diploma courses first and take undergraduate courses without credit.

Higher education in New Zealand is stricter than that in Australia. Except for a few majors, it is best to apply for postgraduate majors in line with undergraduate majors, and some majors should start with postgraduate diploma courses.

Third, the cost of studying in New Zealand and Australia.

According to Mercer's city consumption ranking, among several Australian cities, Sydney ranks # 14, Melbourne # 15, Brisbane #3 1, Adelaide #35 and Perth # 49 in the world.

Relatively speaking, New Zealand's ranking is much lower. Auckland, the most expensive city in the world, ranks # 16, second only to Sydney and Melbourne, and the same as Shanghai, the most expensive city in China.

High school in Australia, public high school tuition is relatively low, and the annual tuition is about 70,000 RMB.

The tuition fee of a university varies with the popularity and geographical location of the school. Usually, the annual tuition fee ranges from 6,543,800+to 200,000.

Universities in New Zealand charge cheaper tuition fees. The New Zealand dollar is only 85% of the Australian dollar. The tuition fee for studying abroad is 20% cheaper than Australia, and the living expenses are 20%-40% cheaper than Australia.

It is worth noting that international students from Australia and New Zealand can work legally.

Fourth, the difficulty of visa processing in New Zealand and Australia.

Australia's visa requirements are relatively relaxed among major countries studying abroad.

Students attending senior high school should provide financial guarantee for 18 months before the course, and deposit for three months or apply for a loan for studying abroad.

Starting from 15, Australia has further opened up undergraduate and postgraduate visas, which can be obtained in just a few days without financial guarantee, providing great convenience for students studying degree courses.

New Zealand has stricter regulations on visa application, especially the requirement of financial guarantee, which usually covers the length of courses studied.

There are two forms of capital guarantee, one is bank deposit, calculated at 654.38 yuan +0.5 million yuan per year, which requires a deposit history of more than six months.

The other is to open a special account for studying abroad in the bank, and transfer all the course tuition fees and corresponding living expenses in New Zealand to the special account.

In the former form, the duration of the visa is consistent with the duration of the course covered by tuition fees, while in the latter form, a visa covering the whole course duration will be obtained.

Work visas for international students in New Zealand are opened earlier and more flexible than those in Australia.

Students can get a one-year visa to work in New Zealand as long as they take a two-year diploma course in New Zealand, which is similar to a junior college in China.

Many students choose to continue their undergraduate studies for about one and a half years after having certain work experience, and they can get a one-year work visa.
