About IPU New Zealand Tertiary Institute

IPU New Zealand provides a culturally varied setting by catering to foreign students from a variety of backgrounds. Domestic students interested in studying International Business, International Relations, Environmental Studies, English Language Studies, or learning an international language are also welcome at IPU New Zealand (Japanese and Mandarin). The New Zealand Qualifications Authority has approved all of the degree, diploma, and postgraduate programmes offered (NZQA). NZQA has awarded IPU New Zealand the highest possible rating for Tertiary Institutes - Highly Confident.

IPU New Zealand aims to broaden the perspectives of all students by immersing them in an international community of over 20 nationalities, where they will live and learn with their peers. Small class sizes are emphasised, allowing students to have a personal interaction with their teachers.

The institute provides possibilities for students to travel to Japan while studying, whether through a 20-week exchange at IPU Japan (Okayama), our two-year Double Degree Program, or a Business Internship at Tokyo International Business College. Using IPU New Zealand's global network of educational providers, students can earn valuable experience and expertise.

Students can stay on campus in one of 10 halls of residence, which provide a secure and supportive environment that feels like a home away from home, complete with all meals and campus facilities. IPU New Zealand provides a dynamic and interactive learning environment that is ideal for studying, language learning, and socialising. Students enjoy a bustling student lifestyle with a variety of activities on campus and many events throughout the city.
