A levels and uni in NZ

[Kea]

In the UK most medical, dental and vet students start their courses at 18. In Scotland, some start at 17. The first two years are lecture based, followed by three years of mixed practical and academic study. Then they are let loose on the general public....

The only girls school in Wellington offering Cambridge would be Samuel Marsden Collegiate which is private rather than state run.

A-level should be acceptable - NZ universities are now advertising for British students to study here for the same cost as going to university in the UK!

If you look on the universtiy web sites, each have a section of internation student entry criteria. this of course includes UK 'A' levesl which are different to Cambridge 'A' levels here.

With regards to course fees and loans, the rules have just changed here to make the crietria for being treated as a national student tougher. I think it's now you have to be a resident for a full two years to be treated as a Kiwi student.

At the moment student loans are zero interst and can be repaid over a far longer period than the UK.

Finally although NZ uni's don't rank in genral as highly as the 'better' UK unis they are very much not a second class choice. They have excellent business and accademic reputations worldwide, indeed some people like their more tradtional approach to courses and content (me inlcuded)
