If you aren’t already aware, New Zealand is a creative hub. It’s home to some of the world's most acclaimed film directors, including Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit trilogy) and Taika Waititi (Thor: Ragnarok, Jojo Rabbit). Weta Workshop—the industry-leading special effects company—had their humble beginnings in the nation’s capital: Wellington. The country also fosters a highly innovative digital sector with many studios that produce award-winning designs for a range of international clients.

Students flock to New Zealand to take advantage of the quality education that’s both affordable and accessible to them. In addition, the natural wonders and cultural diversity that the country has to offer makes any travel decision an easy one. New Zealand deserves its reputation as one of the safest and greenest places in the world, undoubtedly contributing to the country’s migration rates and growth in population, as well as New Zealand’s impressive standing in global surveys and polls.
