Royal Study Abroad will answer your questions.

First of all, let me give you the following information:

Why choose New Zealand to study for a master’s degree?

In recent years, with the expansion of enrollment in Chinese universities, the number of undergraduates has increased, resulting in a severe employment situation for undergraduates. Therefore, many students have chosen to study abroad for postgraduate studies. New Zealand, with its rigorous education and Its advantages such as relaxed immigration policies, affordable expenses, and a spring-like climate all year round have made it one of the first choices for many prospective international students. The New Zealand government encourages international students to study in New Zealand, and international students do not need English proficiency when applying for a visa. Various institutions in New Zealand offer relevant bridge courses. Generally, the duration of bridge courses is 0.5-1 year. Through the bridge course, you can successfully apply for a master's degree across majors.
