Master of Applied Finance and Economics - Batch of 2024
4.2
Modern college with helpful professors and green environment.
Tips: Studies are taken seriously but professors are supportive and helpful. Students get used to their studies after seeing the competition. The country is very beautiful and the infrastructure of the college is modern. Course fee is justified nothing more. Accommodation will cost around 8 lakhs/ year roughly which I don't think is much. Prefer this country over Canada and it is worth it.
Likes (Safety): The country is very safe and people are polite and respectful. The Maori tribesmen are also very welcoming and want others to know about their culture. So far I haven't experienced any bad experiences and I don't think any of my friends have either. 10/10 for safety.
Dislikes (Internships): GoinGlobal portals is famous in student communities for getting good internships. Sometimes there are recruitment drives across campus or in Christchurch some fares are organized especially for international students. Be aware, make connections, subscribe to newsletters and definitely a good internship opportunity is seeking you!

I feel this is the best University to upskill career.
Tips: I recommend students to start the process of application early so that they will get the acceptance offer soon from this University. And I also suggest to take the advantage of campus accommodation which is somewhat cheap and you will not face any hassle when you eventually come here.

A pretty good university with very limited opportunities due to recession.
Tips: There is quite a bit of adjustment when comparing the education system from back in India. In India, as long as we get good marks at the end of the year exams, we get a good overall mark on our report cards. However, here you have to work hard and get good grades in each and every assignment because the amount of weight they carry in your final grades is a lot.
Likes (Safety): The city is pretty safe as I haven't heard much violence against anyone. There is little racism, if any at all, against other ethnicities. There is not any bad experience in particular that I have in the city that I could share. The people here are quite friendly as well which is also good. However, from what I have heard from friends, there is a bit of exploitation done when someone is sponsoring your residence visa if they are your workplace as well. However, the owners in those cases are also mostly Indians.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not many companies offer sponsor visas as far as I know. The main reason for my rating of 2 is that the current job market is not very good. The country is in recession and there is an acute shortage of jobs available in a lot of the fields. Quite a lot of the students need to move to cities or even countries to find a good job. The wages/cost of living ratio is also not great for it to be considered a good option to work.
