International students: Studying and staying on in New Zealand

Author: Paul Merwood

This research shows that New Zealand is relatively successful in attracting and retaining international students. The majority of students who transition to permanent residence in New Zealand do so as skilled or business migrants. The research also shows that the pathways to work and residence can be complex, and encompass many points of transition. These transition points offer opportunities for educational institutions, government, and other service providers to ensure that in negotiating these transitions, international students achieve the best possible outcomes for themselves and for New Zealand.
