3 New Zealanders are famous for their warm hospitality to overseas visitors. We are friendly, welcoming, love travel and enjoy meeting people from other cultures. We are also known for our positive, ‘can do’ attitude - a pioneering spirit, which is behind some of our biggest achievements, from climbing Mount Everest to winning the America’s Cup yachting series.

Living in New Zealand A country with attitude!New Zealanders enjoy a fantastic lifestyle - but we are also outward looking, travelling, and exporting our quality products and services all over the globe.

A long-established democracy, New Zealand has a safe political environment. We are a multi-cultural society, refl ecting many years of migration from all parts of the globe. The largest non-European group is the indigenous Maori, the tangata whenua - the people of the land. We are also home to many people from the Pacifi c Islands and Asia.

Summers are mostly warm and dry.

Winters are quite mild.

people who want to begin a career, grow their career or change their career. They offer a wide range of qualifi cation levels: degrees, diplomas and certifi cates.

Sam CheungCERTIFICATE IN ELECTRICAL & RELATED TRADES

“You get out what you put in but I know I could not have got where I am without the skills UCOL passed on to me.”

Having just received his electrical service technician registration, New Zealand practising licence and his 2 year work permit Sam is beyond proud. He asks himself ‘How great is this?’

“The certifi cate was extremely well structured and UCOL is all about work experience. I began my placement not long after the course started and was surprised because colleagues didn’t have to ask me if I knew how to do something, I was already doing it! What you learn in the class is what you need on the job.”

As Sam refl ects on his time one point comes to mind. UCOL is not just about theory, UCOL is about practical experience. Sam’s goal for the next 2 years is to become a New Zealand Registered Electrician and eventually an Electrical Engineer.

“UCOL does not waste your time and money. Special thanks to Fiona Mason (International Student Adviser) and Gavin Jack (Programme Leader) who were vital to my success and gave me a solid career foundation.”

Jyotishna Devi Ram Fiji - Certifi cate in Art & Design

I really like the teaching style at UCOL.I chose to study in New Zealand in order to obtain an internationally recognised degree. My fi rst choice was UCOL and it has proved to be the best choice I have made. UCOL offers a safe & secure environment and meeting people from different cultures has been great.

Patchavat (Tee) Jeerapatananuwong Thailand

I really enjoy studying in Wanganui as it is so peaceful and people are so friendly. I have been studying here for almost 3 years. I think I have grown a lot since I came to study in Wanganui. Now I am studying Computer Graphic Design which is my favourite subject.

Driving inNew ZealandIf you hold a valid overseas driver’s licence or an international driving permit, you can drive in New Zealand for a maximum of 3 months after you fi rst arrive. You should then apply for a New Zealand Driver’s licence. You will need two kinds of identifi cation (ID) to prove who you are and what your current address is. You must be able to prove you hold a valid overseas licence. You will only be able to drive those types of vehicles for which you were licened in your country of origin. You must also carry that licence or permit with you at all times when driving. If you do not apply for a New Zealand driver’s licence within three months of arriving in New Zealand, you will become an unlicensed driver and could be charged if you are caught driving by the police. You need a licence to obtain vehicle insurance.

CodeUCOL has agreed to observe and be bound by the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students published by the Minister of Education. Copies of the Code are available on request from this institution or from the New Zealand Ministry of Education website at: www.minedu.govt.nz/goto/international.

ImmigrationFull details of visa and permit requirements, advice on rights to employment in New Zealand while studying, and reporting requirements are available through the New Zealand Immigration Service, and can be viewed on their website at: www.immigration.govt.nz.

Eligibility for health servicesMost international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand. If you receive medical treatment during your visit, you may be liable for the full costs of that treatment. Full details on entitlements to publicly-funded health services are available through the Ministry of Health, and can be viewed on their website at: www.moh.govt.nz.

Accident insuranceThe Accident Compensation Corporation provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but you may still be liable for all other medical and related costs. Further information can be viewed on the ACC website at: www.acc.co.nz.

Medical and travel insuranceInternational students must have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while studying in New Zealand. This is because most students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand unless they are:

• a resident or citizen of Australia, or

• a national of the United Kingdom in New Zealand, or

• the holder of a temporary permit that is valid for two years or more.

If you do not belong to one of these special categories and you receive medical treatment during your visit, you must pay for the full costs of that treatment. For treatment of a cold, fl u or other common health problems, you will usually visit the local doctor (sometimes called a general practitioner or GP) or the doctor’s clinic on campus. There is a $15 charge for a clinic visit on

our campus. If you need assistance after hours, you can visit a local emergency clinic or hospital. (Average cost of medical insurance $NZ15 per week).

Medical insurance must cover the cost of staying in hospital, visits to the doctor, urgent medical treatment and medicine, and sometimes emergency dental treatment. It is compulsory for all international students to be able to show evidence of having travel and medical insurance at enrolment for the period of their study. Students are advised to arrange this insurance at the same time as they arrange their student visa so that the enrolment process is not delayed. Students are required to take out the insurance before they leave their home country.

Employment inNew ZealandYou may be allowed to work in New Zealand if you are enrolled in a full time long-term course of study. You need to obtain a work permit from NZ Immigration Services for any work in New Zealand. Please visit the NZ Immigration Service website for more information: www.immigration.govt.nz.

The Wanganui UCOL student fl ats are conveniently situated 3 minutes walk from the main campus.

• Ethnic foodstuffs are available.

• There is a variety of ethnic restaurants and takeaways in Wanganui & Palmerston North.

Cost of LivingPlease note: This is a general guide only and

prices may vary depending on the goods and

services sought.

AccommodationUCOL can offer students two types of

accommodation. Homestay accommodation

is available in both Palmerston North and

Wanganui. Student fl ats are available in

Wanganui only.

Homestay

Homestay accommodation is where a student

lives with a selected New Zealand family. The

average cost of homestay accommodation in

Palmerston North or Wanganui is $175 a week.

This is much cheaper than in bigger cities.

UCOL can arrange this type of accommodation

for you before you leave your own country. Many

students choose homestay accommodation for

the fi rst three or four months of their stay in

New Zealand and then go on to share a fl at with

friends. You will be provided with your own room

and at least two meals a day. Homestay allows

you to concentrate on your studies and is also a

great way for you to learn as much as possible

about New Zealanders and the way we live. It

provides you with an opportunity to practise your

English and get used to life in New Zealand while

you have the support of a friendly and caring

New Zealand family.

We have assessed the accommodation to

which we refer students and found it to be

of a satisfactory standard. Our International

coordinators on the Palmerston North and

Wanganui campuses are available to assist with

issues relating to this accommodation.

Wanganui Student Flats

Wanganui UCOL has a limited number of student

fl ats available. Cost of accommodation in the

fl ats begins from $100 (New Zealand dollars) a

week. This covers all the bills except telephone

bills, bedding, some basic utensils and food. The

student fl ats are situated adjacent to the main

campus (3min walk).

Private RentalFlatting

In New Zealand the word fl atting means that you wish to rent a house and share it with friends. A fl at may have one bedroom, or may be a house with as many as 5 or 6 bedrooms. You will be responsible for providing your own furniture, your share of power/water/phone bills, cooking your own meals, doing your own laundry and all other obligations under the rental agreement. Many students enjoy the challenge and independence of sharing a fl at with other students. Approximate cost in $NZ to share a fl at with two other students.

Bond $440 (your share $160)2 weeks rent $440 (your share $160)Power $120 per mnth (your share ($40)Phone $40 rental per mnth. Toll calls will be extra (your share $14)Gas $80 per mnth (your share $18)Food $750 per mnth (your share $250)Rent $960 per mnth (your share $320)

You will also need to make sure that you have allowed enough money for buying furniture, bedding, cooking utensils and other household items. It can take some time to fi nd a fl at and you may need to stay in temporary accommodation for the fi rst 2-4 weeks.

Private Hostels

In a hostel you will have your own room and may have your own bathroom and telephone (this varies from place to place). You will be provided with a bed and bedding and will share laundry and cooking facilities. There is also usually a shared common room. Some hostels will provide meals. Prices vary according to the facilities provided. Hostel accommodation is very popular and you may have to stay in temporary accommodation until a place becomes available.

Temporary Accommodation

Finding a suitable place to rent can take 2-4 weeks. We can arrange short term homestay accommodation for you for this time. It can be less expensive to do this than to stay in a motel or backpackers, as you will have at least two meals a day provided for you at no extra cost. You can fi nd more information about temporary accommodation on the following websites:

Tony Luo China

Tony comes from Chengdu of Sichuan province, a laid-back city located in the south-west of P.R China. He is a fi rst year student of UCOL’s Bachelor of Human Performance. UCOL’s intimate teaching style is very enjoyable, and UCOL’s teachers & staff are really helpful. “Palmy is awesome, I enjoy both study and social life!”

Kaushal Adeshara India - NZ Diploma in Business

After Studying 1.5 years at UCOL my outlook towards life has totally changed. I am getting world class education here and a global exposure as I have met people from different regions, different countries and different backgrounds. Tutors here are always supportive and always there whenever required.

If you need to do practical assignments as part of your study programme, you will fi nd UCOL has facilities similar to the best in the industry.

TransportA free bus service exists for UCOL students for

local rides within Palmerston North & Wanganui.

Students must show current UCOL Student

Identifi cation to be granted a free ride. If

students decide to ride a bicycle please remember

a cycle helmet. It is compulsory to wear a cycle

helmet.

There is an excellent national public transport

system in place which includes bus, ferry and

train. If you are planning a tour throughout New

Zealand, you can obtain special student travel

passes. Discount fares are available for plane

travel if you book early.

Clothing• Good woollen jerseys and waterproof jackets

are relatively inexpensive in New Zealand.

• Cotton clothing is more expensive than in

Asia.

• Shoes are expensive compared with footwear

in Asian countries.

• Good leather shoes with rubber soles and

sports shoes are necessary for New Zealand.

• Bring an umbrella and a raincoat.

Money• Bring only a little cash.

• Bring travellers cheques to cover your initial

expenses.

• Take out a bank draft for larger sums of

money.

It is illegal to possess recreational drugs (Class A,

B or C) or prescribed drugs without a prescription

in New Zealand. Do not bring any drugs with you

unless they are prescribed. You may not work for

money in New Zealand without a Special Student

work permit. People who breach this regulation

can be sent home immediately.

Legal RightsPolice in New Zealand do not routinely carry

guns. They are friendly and helpful. Anyone who

is arrested will be permitted to speak to a lawyer.

If you want to know more about your rights ask

at Orientation.

Helpful Tips

• Bring your International Student Card (ISIC) with you, it is cheaper than obtaining

one in New Zealand - you can buy discounted plane fares with an ISIC card.

• If you have a Driver’s Licence, bring it with you - this makes it easier to obtain a

New Zealand Licence.

• Bring half a dozen passport size photos with you - they are expensive in New

Zealand.

• Don’t bring electrical goods (hair dryer, CD player etc.); even with the proper

adapter, they may blow out. There are various electrical appliance stores in

Wanganui and Palmerston North where you can buy small electrical goods at

reasonable rates.

• Bring your own sports gear, e.g. squash racquet, badminton racquet, etc. These

will probably cost more in New Zealand. The exception is good quality hockey

sticks, which are cheap in New Zealand.

• Write in advance for a book list. Books may be cheaper in your own country.

• Make sure you have information about your own country. People will ask you a lot

of questions.

• Cigarettes are expensive in New Zealand. Give up before you arrive!

• Remember, 20kg is all the luggage you can bring to New Zealand without paying

an excess baggage fee.

• Bring your national costume if you consider this appropriate.

Things you should know before you leave home:

• Basic cooking (how to cook rice - prepare dinner etc.)

• Basic fi rst aid (how to clean wounds, deal with vomiting etc.)

• How to take care of your own clothes and bedding.

We have developed a state-of-the art learning environment, using 3D overhead displays, video, Powerpoint and other computer-based presentation tools.

Applying for studyAchieving your goal begins with selecting the right programme of study. UCOL’s programmes are outlined in this Prospectus and you can email our International offi ce now if you need advice, even before applying for admission.

When you are enrolled, one of our Personal Education Planner (PEP) advisors will meet with you to discuss how you are progressing towards your goals, how you are coping with study, how you are fi nding being part of the learning environment at UCOL, and how to get some help if you need it.

Working towards your goal

Ensuring our students receive enough

individual attention is an important part of

UCOL’s approach to learning. We keep our

classes small so that you can get the help you

need to be successful from our experienced

and knowledgeable tutorial staff. You can be

sure you will be studying an approved quality

educational programme. We also believe it

is important for UCOL tutors to have the use

of the latest technology in our teaching, and

to provide this technology to our students

for their study. We have developed a state-

of the-art learning environment, using 3D

overhead displays, video, Powerpoint and

other computer-based presentation tools. If

you need to do practical assignments as part

of your study programme, you will fi nd UCOL

has facilities similar to the best in the industry.

Examples are our kitchens and restaurants,

science labs and gymnasiums. Because UCOL

is focused on helping you succeed we have

student studios on our campuses which are

fi tted out with PCs, giving you access to a

range of software, some free time on the

Internet and the ability to download course

material.

Step 1

Step 2

When UCOL has received your completed

Application for Admission and Provisional

Enrolment form and proof of identity your

application will be assessed.

Step 3

UCOL will then send you an Offer of Place

letter. A conditional offer of place will show any

conditions you need to meet before you can

come and study on the programme you have

applied for.

Step 4

If UCOL decides you have met its requirements

you will be advised by UCOL in writing. You will

need to pay your tuition fees and all other costs

set by UCOL (if any) to UCOL prior to course

commencement.

You must also return a signed copy of the

Acceptance Letter. As soon as we have received

payment for the course, we will confi rm your

place in writing, as well as sending a receipt to

you to enable you to continue with your visa

application.

4. Payment of Refunds4.1 Refunds to International Students will be paid in New Zealand

Dollars by cheque or bank draft and as directed in writing

by the International Student. If UCOL does not receive such

reasonable written directions within seven days of the Date of

Withdrawal, UCOL will forward payment of the refund to the

residential address of the International Student inserted on the

International Student’s Enrolment Form.

5. Partial Refunds as a Result of Withdrawal from a Course/Qualifi cation

5.1 The amount of a refund (if any) will depend on the Date of

Withdrawal and/or the reason(s) for Withdrawal. Please refer to

the table in Schedule A of this policy for the relevant Dates of

Withdrawal and Partial Refunds that will be granted.

5.2 The Date of Withdrawal is the date that UCOL receives the

Change of Circumstances/Student Withdrawal form signed and

completed by the International Student.

6. Partial Refunds as a Result of a Change in Residency Status

6.1 If an International Student enrolled in a semester-based course/

qualifi cation gains Permanent Residency, the student will not

receive a refund of fees for the semester in which residency was

granted. The International Student will only be refunded any

international tuition fees paid beyond the semester in which

residency was granted if UCOL has been able to access funding

for the International Student as an equivalent full-time student

and that funding is greater than the portion of fees to be

refunded.

6.2 If an International Student enrolled in a full-year, non-semester

based course/qualifi cation is granted Permanent Residency, the

International Student must pay the international tuition fees for

the full year regardless of the date Permanent Residency was

granted during that year.

7. Refunds in Other Circumstances7.1 At law, UCOL has the discretion to grant a full or partial refund

to any student.

7.2 In special circumstances comprising reasons of a compassionate

nature, UCOL at its sole option may grant a refund of a greater

amount than is stated in this policy and/or may grant a refund

outside the required timeframe for Withdrawal as stated in

this policy. If an International Student believes that special

circumstances of a compassionate nature exist, they must

apply in writing to UCOL, enclosing supporting evidence of the

special circumstances claimed and they must provide all other

evidence requested by UCOL. UCOL will consider the request

and may or may not grant a refund in an amount that UCOL

deems appropriate.
