New Zealand, a world leader in social and economic reforms and an active participant in the international academic and educational arena, has much to offer overseas students. There are seven national universities offering degree programs at undergraduate and graduate levels. All of New Zealand's universities are governed by the Vice-Chancellors' Committee, a central coordinating body.
University education in New Zealand is closer to the British than the American system, therefore you will find bachelor degrees to be three years long and the education more focused rather than "liberal" (professional degrees such as architecture or law can take longer). The academic year extends from late February or early March to November with a long summer vacation from mid-November to mid-February.
In each subject the student is required to attend a given number of lectures, tutorials and/or laboratory periods per week. These are supplemented by personal reading and
research. The student is expected to develop independent
study skills with a minimum of professional supervision.
Grades given in tests, assignments and practical work count
toward the final grade for a course.

'Carey' is a Bible and Theological College where you can train for mission, ministry, and formation for whatever context God places you in. Carey is a missional training college based in Auckland, New Zealand.
Carey was started nearly 80 years ago in Auckland by the network of Baptist churches in New Zealand initially to train men to be ministers for these churches. These days there is a good gender mix and only about 20% of the students are training specifically to be pastors of churches - the rest are doing theological study for all sorts of reasons...
While Carey is sustained by the network of Baptist churches in New Zealand, about half of the students don't come from Baptist churches or backgrounds, and wouldn't claim to be 'Baptist'. The college encourages all students and tends to attract those from open evangelical traditions.
