Show Notes

Good news for New Zealand's universities - international students enrolments are back up again.

There were 73,535 international enrolments between January to August 2024, up 24 percent compared to the same period last year.

Universities NZ CEO Chris Whelan says a majority of these enrolments are coming from China or India - but other countries are contributing too.

"We would like to grow in other markets... that's a set of ongoing conversations we'll be having, particularly with ministers and our immigration NZ colleagues."
