A non-profit, charitable trust

Why choose NZIIU?

We know what we're doing

We've had more than 20 years of experience and work constantly to maintain and im­prove what we do.

We're home grown

We're a New Zealand Organisation and the way we work reflects New Zealand culture.

We look after you well

We pride ourselves on a high standard of pastoral care and individual attention. We are careful with selection and preparation and respond quickly to any problems you might have while away.

We always give you your choice of country and programme

Pick out the country and programme from our information sheets or ask us if you would like something different. You get what you ask for. We can sometimes tailor pro­grammes to suit your preferences.

We have plenty of choices

Our most popular countries are Japan, France, Germany, Italy and Spain and we have the capacity to work with many others.

Our affiliates are the best

NZIIU contracts overseas organisations that provide the best care and service for our students. They are responsive to student needs and difficulties. NZIIU maintains con­tact with them as well as with families back here in New Zealand.

You're not a number

By the time you leave, we know each other well. NZIIU has a genuine concern for your welfare.

We keep costs low

We subsidise all exchanges and offer scholarships to those who need them. We provide a complete package by arranging homestay, passport and visa applications, transport and accommodation arrangements (including transfers), insurance and orientation prior to departure.

About Us

NZIIU is an incorporated non-profit, charitable trust approved by the Ministry of Education to promote international understanding through overseas student exchange. Our quality host family homestay programmes have been operating for over 20 years and in that time thousands of young people have experienced educational and cultural ex­changes between New Zealand and other countries.
