Popular majors for studying in New Zealand
As we all know, New Zealand has followed the British education system, with first-class education quality, high diploma content, and beautiful and pleasant natural scenery, so it has become an ideal country for many students to study abroad.
So, what popular majors can you choose when studying in New Zealand?
IT information technology
Information technology graduates have high salaries and many job opportunities in New Zealand. They are also listed as the preferred major for immigrants due to the shortage of talents.
Nursing
In New Zealand, Nursing is included as a standard degree course in universities and polytechnics, and can be further studied to study for a Master of Nursing.
Accounting
New Zealand also has a great demand for accounting majors. Accounting is a bonus major for New Zealand immigrants. Students can apply for immigration after getting certified public accountants .
Education
Teachers in New Zealand have a stable income and many opportunities for salary increases. It is a very respected profession. Junior teachers who have no bad record in the first 12 years of teaching in New Zealand can receive steady salary increases.
After two and a half years, New Zealand has opened its doors again, which undoubtedly excites many students. I hope that students can plan their trip preparations as soon as possible and have a smooth start to school!
