Medical and Travel Insurance

You must have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance for the duration of your study. The policy needs to include cover for travel to and from New Zealand, and within and outside New Zealand for the full enrolment duration.

Eligibility for Health Services

Most 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 here.

Accident Insurance

The 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 here.

Insurance Claims

If you have any questions about how to complete the form, please email: info@ignitecolleges.ac.nz or come and see the International Student Support Officer at Ignite College International Centre.

Why chose life in NZ and Auckland

Why New Zealand?

New Zealand is a favourite destination for international students from all over the world - and it’s not hard to see why.

It is politically stable, affordable, with a top-quality education system - and it’s one of the safest countries on the planet. In New Zealand unrivalled natural beauty sits side by side with a thriving economy, in a friendly melting pot of vibrant cultures. People of all nationalities are welcomed here, and encouraged to innovate, inspire and strive to reach their full potential.

Auckland

New Zealand’s largest and most cosmopolitan city has a population of around 1.5 million, and is regularly ranked as one of the top places in the world to live and study. As well as exceptional educational facilities, you have world class restaurants, bars and entertainment, plus your pick of adrenalin-pumping outdoor activities, from yachting and surfing, to hiking and horse riding. Auckland is New Zealand’s economic hub, and with that comes a plethora of job opportunities for locals and international students alike. You can work while you study and gain valuable industry experience as you build your skills and grow your career.
