Is it difficult to study PhD in New Zealand?

There are two kinds of doctors studying in New Zealand: one is a famous doctor, mainly for professionals who have already taken up their jobs and need certain management experience before they can study; The other is the Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) that most international students will choose, which requires no work experience, no teaching time, and focus on doing research and writing papers. These two doctoral programs usually require at least three years of full-time study and academic research. Thesis and defense are needed, and the examiner will also ask for a written test under special circumstances.

What are the advantages of studying for a doctorate in New Zealand?

Compared with other countries, New Zealand, which is also a big country studying abroad, is almost preferential in doctoral policy. At present, international students studying in New Zealand enjoy the same tuition as locals, and only need about 6,000 New Zealand dollars (equivalent to about 30,000 yuan) every year, which is almost the cheapest in the world. Moreover, students can work freely during their studies, and there is no time limit. In addition, like Australia, students' spouses can get a work visa unconditionally, and children under 18 can attend public primary and secondary schools in New Zealand for free. Such preferential policies have greatly increased the number of doctoral students in China in recent years.

New Zealand doctors cannot apply for cross-majors, and must have the same undergraduate and postgraduate majors. Different from many countries, it is more difficult for international students to apply for a doctorate in science and engineering in New Zealand, because New Zealand has high requirements for undergraduate science and engineering majors. If engineering majors do not start from undergraduate courses, they will not be able to certify local engineers in the future, and some medical majors will not accept applications at all. On the contrary, foreign students with a liberal arts background are more likely to apply for a doctorate in education or literature.

But no matter what major, the key to doctoral admission lies in the intention of the tutor, and the so-called application for "hardware" also has room for flexibility. Although IELTS requires a score of 6.5, some students can apply for the prestigious Auckland University in New Zealand with a score of 6 or an expired 6.5. Whether you can pass the exam or not is in the hands of your tutor. As long as you have good contact and communication with the tutor, you will generally be exempted from some hard conditions, and the tutor will not be too difficult for you.
