Very limited opportunities.
Tips: The way of teaching and assessing is different from what we are used to. Have to put some extra effort during the initial phase. There are different scholarships available like the India High Achievers Scholarship and other kinds also. I was awarded the India High Achievers Scholarship which is specifically for students from India and the amount varies depending on the application, from 5000 to 20000.
Likes (Indian Food): There are a lot of restaurants that serve Indian cuisine and prices will vary but you can expect around 25 - 30 NZD each time. I prefer cooking myself which is way cheaper compared to what needs to be spent each time when eating outside. Groceries cost around 60-100 NZD per week.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): The current job market is not that good limiting the options for an immigrant student. Networking is very important in acquiring a job in the current market. There are graduate programs offered by various firms that run from 2 to 3 years focusing on graduate students.

The university of filled with talented and friendly professors. The student life was excellent.
Tips: Other than many European countries, New Zealand is very immigrant-friendly. Everyone is minding their own business, and most of the people are really friendly. I haven't experienced any cultural shifts as everyone is easygoing and many people from India were here.
Likes (Quality of faculty): The faculty members are very talented and helpful. They'll allow us special time slots to ask doubts and they'll help us study. Proper sessions are conducted without the need for extra classes. The study materials provided are also of good quality.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): There are many companies out here. But it is a different scenario, there are no direct campus placements conducted. There are many job fair, where companies come and introduce themselves to the students. They'll share information and encourage us to apply for the graduate roles.

M.Eng. in Software Engineering - Batch of 2026
Offered by University of Auckland
4.1
Top tier academic with DIY vibe.
Tips: Before joining, know that you must manage your own schedule and take the DELNA English test. Build the interpersonal or soft skills because universities focus on networking which will help in communication and making friends. Before coming check the accommodation on campus and the city is expensive, look for home stay or the outskirts.
Likes (Safety): The University of Auckland scores for safety because of security escorts and swipe-card building access. The university app "UoA Kahau" and well-lit provide the safe route. While the campus is secure, avoid Albert Park at night time due to homelessness. If someone is locked somewhere on the campus, then call the security they will help.
Dislikes (Internships): To get an internship as an international student is difficult but not impossible. The university offers CDES resume workshops and job boards, but active placements are rare. Support is decent but this is difficult for international students especially those who have experience.

A strong foundation for the future growth.
Tips: Cultural experience is immense; getting used to it takes around 6 months of time. The cultural diversity comes especially when the festive season occurs. Also sports are different from our country which can cause a cultural shift. From the NZ Immigration department, the PM scholarship plan is there.
Likes (Quality of faculty): Top notch accessibility is provided with campus maps services as well. Teaching methodology is mostly PowerPoint and videos. The numerical part is also taught regarding the same as well as Zoomed projection techniques. Diversity is immense, you come across students from across the planet especially remote places, eg, Argentina, the Netherlands, Chile, Japan, etc.
Dislikes (Part time work): On campus jobs are limited to students who are living in Unilodges and college hostels; other jobs are available at local supermarkets and companies with vacancies—they're posted on their websites.
You are legally entitled to work 20 hrs a week so it's quite manageable from an academic point of view. The current minimum wage is 23.85/hr. The average goes around the same amount.

Great city, people and work life balance.
Tips: Students should be aware of the University and their academics, specifically academic integrity. English communication is key and should be improved to the max whilst here. You have a wide range of scholarships available based on your previous grades or interviews with the evaluation panel.
Likes (Safety): Auckland is one of the top ranked student friendly cities. And New Zealand stands still in the happiness index. You won't have any bad experiences up here rather you will get the best treatment as a student. There are student hubs, student discounts everywhere a great campus with magnificent laboratory facilities.
