New Zealand offers a range of competitive options for student when considering tuition fees & other costs like visas, health cover & additional expenses.

VISA Requirements
To receive a student visa, you will have to prove that you have enough money to pay for living expenses, education costs and travel for the entire duration of your stay in New Zealand. You can manage your expenses by working part time while you study. However, you cannot and should not rely on your salary as your only source of income.

Cost of living
Other costs to be included when planning your budget are local travel, telephone, entertainment, clothing, groceries and incidentals. It is also prudent to include international travel costs if you decide to go back home during the semester breaks.
