Living and Studying in Wellington www.wellingtonnz.com

Life in New Zealand’s capital city is an experience you just won’t find anywhere else. New Zealand is a uniquely beautiful country that promises a rich and vibrant experience, in and outside the kitchen.

Lonely Planet called Wellington the ‘coolest little capital in the world’ for good cause. There are many reasons to live and study in New Zealand’s capital city. It’s cosmopolitan, creative, compact, culturally diverse, and safe - boasting consistently low crime rates. Plus it’s New Zealand’s cuisine and culture capital, where you’ll find the freshest local ingredients and world class wineries all within easy reach. With an annual festival of food, award-winning restaurants and a reputation for exceptional coffee, we promise you a world of great culinary adventures.

THE CITY AND SURROUNDS Wellington is a region of stunning natural beauty. The city is framed by a natural harbour, rugged coastline and the surrounding hills. You’re never very far from the ocean when you live in New Zealand’s capital city. You’ll find even more to explore in the city’s regions – Porirua, Kapiti, Hutt Valley, Wairarapa and Marlborough, all within one hours travel time – from seaside villages, picturesque vineyards and outdoor adventure. The city has a population of around 195,000 people and the region is home to almost 470,000.

In Wellington you’ll find everything a big city has to offer without the big city attitude.

GETTING AROUND Wellington is a small, compact city. Public transport is safe and widely used, and it’s very easy to get into and around the city on foot, or by bus. Trains and buses service the greater Wellington region regularly too. If you have a valid international driver’s licence or an international driving permit, you can drive in New Zealand for up to three months from the date you arrive. After three months, if you wish to continue to drive while you are here, you will need to apply for a New Zealand driver’s licence.

Le Cordon Bleu New Zealand offers all international students a free pick-up service from Wellington International Airport. One of our friendly hosts will collect you on arrival and transport you safely to your accommodation.

Eligibility for Health Services Most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand. If you receive medical treatment during your visit, you may be liable for the full costs of that treatment. Full details on entitlements to publicly funded health services are available through the Ministry of Health, and can be viewed on their website at www.moh.govt.nz.

apartment or house – often called a ‘flat’ – with other students or working Kiwis.

The Accident Compensation Corporation provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents, and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but you may still be liable for all other medical and related costs. Further information can be viewed on the ACC website at www.acc.co.nz.

Homestay accommodation is a popular option for international students. You will live with a carefully selected New Zealand family and be provided with your own room and at least two meals each day. It’s a good option for students who would like some time to settle into life here before trying alternative types of accommodation, are keen to learn more about the New Zealand way of life, or practice your English language. Getting used to life in a new country can be easier with support of a friendly and caring family.

If you need advice or help to arrange short or long term accommodation in Wellington, we are happy to help.

Medical and Travel Insurance International students (including group students) must have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while in New Zealand.

In the 2011 survey Wellington ranked at 134, making it the most affordable city surveyed in Austalasia.
