Amazing academics and laid-back Kiwi culture in a vibrant city. The semester on the North Island, New Zealand program offers you the best everything: strong academics, an amazing location, and an affordable price.

Studying abroad on the North Island of New Zealand will connect you to one of the world’s most extraordinary cultures. Wellington is unique because it is the business, commercial, and political capital of the country, yet it is small enough to walk almost everywhere. The atmosphere is sophisticated, yet down-to-earth and youthful.

New Zealand is one of the adventure capitals of the word- Adventure and adrenaline-pumping sports were practically invented here. You can bungee jump with the world’s original bungee company, tandem skydive over the ocean, and learn to surf all in this amazing and beautiful country.
