Third, the advantages of studying for a doctorate in New Zealand

1, with more financial subsidies.

The normal tuition fee for international students is generally around NZ $20,000 a year, while that for doctoral students is only NZ $3,200-4,000 a year, which is about RMB 20,000.

2. Various welfare policies for relatives in New Zealand

During the doctoral study, the spouse can apply for an unrestricted work permit consistent with the length of study, and the applicant's children can enjoy the same welfare policy as New Zealand residents for their study expenses in New Zealand.

3. Immigration application is easier to pass.

After graduation, international students can also apply for skilled immigrants from New Zealand more conveniently and quickly. If you choose to do postdoctoral research, you will get a New Zealand work visa, because in New Zealand, postdoctoral research belongs to work and enjoys the salary of lecturers in New Zealand universities.

Fourth, the employment prospects of doctors in New Zealand

1, tenured professor is a good choice!

The most typical way out after completing a doctorate is to be a teacher at school, especially a tenured professor. If you do well, you can become a tenured professor after six years, without worrying about unemployment.

2. Go to the company to do research for the purpose of making money!

Ph.D. graduates are not as easy to find jobs as masters, but as long as they find jobs, their salaries are generally higher than those of masters. Doctoral students have their own small direction of in-depth research. Generally, after the first 1-2 years, they tend to devote themselves to small-scale research.

Don't be bothered by "in-depth research", there are still many things worth spending money on in the world!

Foreigners are rarely recruited here, but some China people do find jobs in accounting or IT in government departments. The advantages of this kind of work are good welfare and stability.

Remind everyone: Although there are many favorable conditions for studying in New Zealand, it usually takes 3-6 months because of the long application period for doctors in New Zealand. Especially for students who want to apply for doctoral scholarships, material preparation is the key.

2. Precautions for studying in New Zealand

First of all, choosing a school should be rational.

The fundamental reason why people fall into this misunderstanding is often that when choosing a school, they only think about what the school is like, without first thinking about their own conditions, what they are studying for, and whether this school is suitable for them.

This question should be considered not only when choosing a school, but also when receiving many admission notices, we should choose the school that suits us best according to our own conditions and give a positive answer.

Second, don't blindly look at the rankings.

Influenced by the domestic education system, China students and their parents will unconsciously rely too much on the ranking information of universities when studying abroad and choosing schools. Indeed, the ranking of colleges and universities reflects the comprehensive strength of the school from the side, which can be used as the basis for selecting schools, but it can never be the basis.

At present, there are many versions and standards of school rankings, and the factors considered by different institutions are different, and the differences will be great. Therefore, keeping a close eye on the rankings without considering other factors may lead students to miss the most suitable schools.

Third, the professor effect

When we choose a country or college to study abroad, we often find out how many Nobel Prize winners, politicians, big coffees and so on have been trained by a certain school. But the purpose of studying abroad is to gain knowledge and improve yourself, not to brag about how many celebrities there are in our school. No matter how many famous professors there are, we should also recognize the reality that it is often their graduate assistants who can directly contact or teach undergraduates.

Fourth, blindly compare with other applicants.

Other people's experience in applying for studying abroad can be used for reference, but it is dangerous to copy it. Only the average statistical data provided by the school or the general admission criteria analyzed on the basis of a certain amount are the most valuable. People are different, and everyone's application is unique. You can listen to the cases of relatives and friends applying for studying abroad, but there is not much substantive reference value.

3. Sharing skills of studying abroad and renting houses in New Zealand

First, the way to rent a house

Paper media is still very popular in New Zealand at present, and the information published in newspapers or magazines will be more reliable, because it will be verified by preliminary examination and the relevant rental information provided by the school student office.

You can also contact the rental agent directly, and they will have more and better houses in their hands. Screening can be carried out after the request is made, which will be more secure and save time and effort, but it will cost an extra sum of money to pay the agency fee.

Now many apartments are specially rented, and they will have their own websites and rental channels. As long as you find the website, you can continue to filter and confirm it directly. You don't need to spend money to find someone else's service, and the general security environment is more reliable.

Second, the rental fee.

If you obtain relevant information through an intermediary, you need to pay a handling fee; Generally, if you confirm renting a house directly with the landlord, you still need to pay a gift or delivery fee, which will not be very expensive, but generally only a symbolic fee.

Then there is the deposit for renting a house. You need to confirm your basic lease term and payment frequency. After signing the contract, you need to pay a pressure drop, which is between two weeks and one month's rent according to the landlord's requirements.

Rent is paid directly to the landlord. Whether you get the listing information through Ceng Yan channels or not, you must keep the voucher as your payment voucher; Basic expenses such as water and electricity shall be borne by the tenant himself and confirmed with the landlord.

Third, rent payment.

These will be clearly shown in the contract. You can confirm with the landlord directly. Be sure to confirm with the landlord that you will keep the voucher after payment, so as to protect your rights in case of subsequent disputes.

The deposit is paid together with the down payment, and it is confirmed that the landlord will come for acceptance after check-out. If there is no problem, the deposit needs to be directly transferred to the tenant on the same day to complete the rental.
