Study in New Zealand (in English)
Located in New Zealand’s largest and most beautiful city, the University of Auckland is also the country’s highest ranked institution. While academics are of highest standard, UoA’s incredible location sets it third in the world for quality of life. The city has the perfect balance between a fast-paced urban environment of international business, restaurants, entertainment, shopping and sporting events and the outdoors as it is home to harbors, mountain ranges, volcanoes and more than fifty islands. Fans of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit series just might have the opportunity to marvel at a few sites nearby.
