Welcome
As mayor of Queenstown I am delighted you are exploring what Study Queenstown has to offer international students. I am confident you will find Queenstown to be an ideal educational destination with our combination of a world class location, safe pristine environment, and an exciting and vibrant lifestyle.
Queenstown is a stunning location that has been rated as Australasia’s leading destination (World Travel Awards) and New Zealand’s number one destination (Trip Advisor), in addition to New Zealand being the most socially advanced country in the world (The Social Progress Imperative). With this in mind, I invite you to research this prospectus for the institution and course that will meet your education goals and lead to exciting career opportunities.
Whether you are studying English, secondary school education, higher level vocational training, or a specific graduate qualification, why not make the Queenstown region your classroom. It is also a place where students can form lifelong friendships with their peers, creating strong memories of life in the Wakatipu basin, and also create strong international networks as they learn with people from all over the world.
With a warm and welcoming international study environment, we are committed to ensuring all students enjoy their time in this beautiful part of the world. The accessibility of our international airport, variety of accommodation options, a compact town centre, and options for any budget make Queenstown an ideal study location.
