Cost of Living
New Zealand is an affordable study destination, with a high standard of living. You should allow approximately NZ$15,000 per year or NZ$1,250 per month for living costs.
International students can work part-time, up to 20 hours a week, to help finance study and living expenses. Full details of your student visa is available on the New Zealand Immigration Service website.
