Overseas Education Await You: Study in New Zealand !!

 

They say the best things come in small packages and that's exactly the way to describe New Zealand. Students wishing to Study Abroad should look no further than the land of the long white cloud - Aotearoa.

Renowned for its natural beauty, scenic landscapes, and clean, green environment; New Zealand is home to four million people. It is made up of three islands 'the North Island, South Island and Stewart Island’. The capital city is Wellington, situated at the bottom of the North Island, although, the country's largest city is Auckland six hours north. New Zealand is a popular tourist destination for those in search of adventure - white water rafting, skydiving and bungy jumping are just a few of the adrenaline-filled activities on offer. And since The Lord of the Rings trilogy was filmed, many have come to explore Hobbiton, and horse trek or helicopter through the different film locations.

New Zealand's economy relies on agriculture. Its primary exports include beef and lamb, wool and a range of fruits such as Zespri, also known as 'the golden kiwifruit’. The country's population consists of Europeans, Maori, and growing Pacific Island and Asian populations. It is perhaps most well known for its rugby team, the All Blacks, and the fact that there are more sheep than people. But despite its size, New Zealand offers a quality of lifestyle that cannot be found anywhere else on the globe.

New Zealand has eight universities, three of which appeared in the 2010 QS World University Rankings Top 200:

• University of Auckland (68)
• University of Otago (135)
• University of Canterbury (189)

Popularly, NZ universities are strong in medicine, engineering, law, management and agriculture and most universities place a strong emphasis on incorporating New Zealand studies within each of their disciplines.Numbers of researches conducted within each of its universities are increasing as well due to the Performance Based Research Fund (PBRF) which funds each university on the quality and output of research.Several students having applied for New Zealand student visa, are fetching these universities good amounts of financial assets as they rely heavily on their international student populations for the funds they bring in, but each one of them ensures that the students are well looked after as a result.

If you want to study in New Zealand at school or tertiary level, you may visit the nearest NZ Visa Agent, who will be able to help you apply for either a student visa.New Zealand universities have very good accommodation facilities for domestic and international students. There are halls of residence, mainly for first-year students, and self-catered flats available for those in their second or third year. A number of students go flatting in their second year of study and each university has an accommodation advisory service that can help students to find and set up their new flats.

International offices also arrange accommodation for students. This is mainly in the form of a home stay where international students are billeted with local families. They have a strong support network and meet up on a regular basis with other international students and their host families.

Applying for a New Zealand Visitor Visa is relevantly simple, in case your parents wish to visit you for your convocation ceremony. You shall discover the joy of international exposure, thus making your family feel proud.

In case you have a family to support, or those who are dependent on your (spouse and children) all you need to do is apply for a NZ Dependent Visa and you can travel with them; promising them a better Quality of Life.

ARCHITECTURE

ARCHITECTURE First Professional Degree Bachelor of Architecture or Master of Architecture. Completing a five-year undergraduate course leading to the Bachelor of Architecture degree. Applicants may be required to take the SAT.

A four-year pre-professional degree, such as a BS in Architecture, BS in Architectural Studies, etc., followed by a two-year course leading to the Master of Architecture. The latter two years may require the GRE and a portfolio for entrance. After obtaining a Bachelor's degree in a non-architecture subject, completing a three-to-four year Master of Architecture degree. May require the GRE. The Bachelor of Architecture and the Master of Architecture programs must be accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB). There are over 150 such programs in 111 schools. The four-year pre-professional degrees, however, do not have to be accredited by the NAAB for either entrance to the Master of Architecture program or for licensing purposes. Licensure Most states require that the first professional degree must be followed by three years of an internship, after which the candidate must take the four-day comprehensive Architect Registration Examination. Each state may have slightly different requirements, and it is necessary to check with the state registration board in which one wishes to be licenses. Post-Professional Study Those who already have a professional degree in architecture may wish to obtain a Master's or doctoral degree in a specialized area such as design theory, solar design, etc. These programs are not accredited by NAAB or CACB. GRE and a portfolio are usually required. Non-Professional Graduate Architecture Programs There are some graduate degrees in architecture which do not require a first professional degree for entry, They are intended for people who wish to pursue non-professional graduate work in architecture. An example is the Masters of Arts in Architectural Studies (M.A. Arch.). References Guide to Architecture Schools, 6th ed. 1998, Washington, DC, Association of Collegiate Schools of Architecture. A comprehensive reference, but only published every five years. "Accredited Programs in Architecture". Washington, DC, National Architectural Accrediting Board, 2001. Available on web site: http://www.naab.org LAW The legal system in the United States, on the federal level and in almost all states, is based on the British system of common law. One state, Louisiana, has a system modeled on the French legal code. First Professional Degree The U.S. first professional degree, the juris doctor (J.D.), provides an education strongly focused on preparation for U.S. practice, with little opportunity for comparative or specialty study. For this reason, and because preparation in U.S. law will not easily transfer toward practice in other countries, the J.D. is usually inappropriate for foreign nationals. Although law schools offer individual courses that emphasize particular subject areas such as environmental law or taxation, there are no J.D. programs concentrating on any single specialty. J.D. degree programs involve three years of study, and are entered following four years of undergraduate study in any major. Competition for admission is intense for both U.S. and international students. Requirements generally include fluency in English, an excellent undergraduate academic record, and a satisfactory score on the Law School Admission Test (LSAT). (See http://www.lsac.org for LSAT registration information.) To practice in the United States, graduates must also pass the bar examination and other requirements of the state where they wish to work. Graduate Legal Education The master of comparative law (M.C.L.), also known as the master of comparative jurisprudence (M.C.J.), is a particularly appropriate degree program for international lawyers. Recognizing that legal systems in many countries differ from common law as practiced in the United States, these programs acquaint lawyers from other countries with U.S. legal institutions and relevant specialties of U.S. law. Another graduate option is the master of laws (L.L.M.), a degree offered in a variety of specialties or as a self-designed program, with appropriateness for the international practitioner varying from program to program. Programs in international law or international business law may also be of interest. Almost all master’s programs in law last one year and admit students only for the fall semester. Programs can be planned according to the interests of the student. During study, international lawyers have the opportunity to observe courts and government agencies in the United States. Entrance requirements include a first degree in law, a strong academic background, letters of reference, a statement of purpose and/or writing samples, and a high level of English proficiency as demonstrated by the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) for students whose law degree was not in the English language. Most graduate law programs do not require standardized admissions tests. Doctoral programs in law also exist. They admit only a small number of promising applicants, usually from among those who have completed a master’s program at a U.S. law school and who plan to enter a career as a law school faculty member. Financial assistance may be more readily available to law students intending to continue towards a doctoral degree than to those seeking only a one-year master’s program. Short-term Legal Education Many U.S. law schools offer programs, particularly in the summer, either designed for or appropriate for international lawyers. These usually last between one week and two months. Professional associations and private training organizations offer similar programs. Your nearest U.S. educational information or advising center may be able to provide information on other options, such as tours to visit U.S. legal institutions. Licensure Most states limit licensure to graduates of American Bar Association approved schools and require passing of a written examination. In most states, this includes the 6-hour MBE (Multistate Bar Examination) and a locally prepared 6-hour State bar examination. Some states also require the 3-hour MSEE (Multistate Essay Examination) and Multistate Performance test (MPT). Currently 47 states also require law students to pass the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE). For detailed requirements about licensure or entrance to the bar, write to the Board of Bar Examiners of the state concerned. Or, consult the latest edition of A Review of Legal Education in the United States. References: The Official Guide to U.S. Law Schools: Prelaw Handbook. Washington, D.C.: Law School Admission Council. Annual Directory of Graduate Law Degree Programs. Washington, D.C. Federal Reports, Inc. A Review of Legal Education in the United States. Law Schools and Bar Admission Requirements for First Professional Law Degree Program: At least three years of undergraduate education, and preferably a bachelor's degree. Passing the LSAT (Law School Admission Test) A high level of English ability Some law schools at state universities may be very restricted in the number of out-of-state students they can accept.
