ST HELENS

Today’s AIS St Helens undergraduate and postgraduate students experience expert personalised education. The learning and development of each student is guided by qualified staff who are committed to helping students achieve success.

Welcome to AIS St Helens, an independent tertiary institution with a distinctive international focus. We attract many thousands of students and staff from countries around the world and have developed close relationships with educational institutions both nationally and internationally. The two parts of our name have historical connections. “AIS”, Auckland Institute of Studies, started in 1990 with a goal of offering a broad range of programmes from beginner’s English through to a Master’s degree qualification. “St Helens” is a link to the former use of our main campus where over 105,000 people started their lives. New Zealand’s longest serving Prime Minister, Richard Seddon, was born near St Helens in Lancashire England and, in 1904, he established maternity hospitals with the name St Helens in Auckland and in Dunedin.

Welcome to AIS St Helens

On each campus we ensure that a friendly, nurturing environment balances and supports our rigorous and demanding academic programmes. We utilise a variety of monitoring mechanisms to ensure that the quality of our programmes is maintained at the highest international standards. Earning an AIS St Helens academic credential is a qualification for life, and requires each student to demonstrate a high level of personal commitment and integrity. Studying at AIS St Helens is a uniquely rewarding experience.

Why study in Auckland?

Why Study in Auckland? New Zealand/Aotearoa Located in the South Pacific, New Zealand is a young country which remains relatively undiscovered by the world.

sm NZ

With a population of just 4.5 million and comparable to Great Britain or Japan in size, it is one of the world’s least crowded countries.

Auckland Auckland has earned itself a regular spot amongst the top ten best cities in the world to live. With its temperate climate, beaches and clean environment, it’s easy to see why. Auckland is New Zealand’s largest city with 1.4 million people from European, South Pacific and Asian cultures as well as a strong Maori heritage. The city offers a large choice of recreational and dining experiences, night life, live performances and sports events. The natural beauty that New Zealand is

known for is abundant around Auckland. The city has many open spaces, public parks and gardens, and is situated between two picturesque harbours allowing easy access to its clean, beautiful beaches. Located in suburban Mt Albert, AIS St Helens is only a short train, bus or car ride from the Central Business District (CBD). Mt Albert is home to Western Springs Park, Auckland Zoo, the Museum of Transport and Technology, and the Westfield St Lukes shopping mall.

To the west are the Waitakere Ranges, a lush rainforest of native flora and fauna and some of the North Island’s best black sand surf beaches. One of the greatest attractions New Zealand has to offer international students is the relaxed and affordable lifestyle. The cost of living is of course dependent on where and how you choose to live in Auckland. Check out the AIS St Helens website for the costs of various products and services.

Individual Focus

Our teaching faculty value personal contact with students, and class numbers are kept low to maintain high quality standards. Our students receive a high degree of personal attention and are supported to maximise their potential. Our Student Services team, in conjunction with the academic faculty, advise on programmes that match students’ requirements and career aspirations.

Credit Recognition

AIS St Helens offers a number of cross-credits for students who have completed the New Zealand Diploma in Business or other diplomas in information technology, tourism, hospitality and business, enabling students to “top-up” to degree level.

Study Skills Advisor

Our Study Skills Advisor assists students to improve their academic performance, with a particular focus on students who need extra academic support. Assistance includes one-on-one consultations, a “Study Buddy” programme and regular workshops on essay writing, study skills, referencing and exam preparation.

Prior studies at our international partner institutes are also eligible for crosscredits.

International Vision

AIS St Helens attracts students from around the world.

English Mona Dib Lebanon I came to New Zealand to continue studying towards a PhD in physics because I heard good things about the level of education at universities here. I like New Zealand for many reasons; it is a beautiful country with many green places which make you feel relaxed. New Zealand is safe and you can go anywhere you want without feeling afraid. New Zealanders are also lovely and friendly. I like AIS St Helens because of the opportunity to make friends with people from different countries and that is very important to me.

Albert Ng CertTESOL Teaching English to speakers of other languages happened when I was on holiday in Harbin, China, about 11 years ago. I had recently graduated with a commerce degree, needed a break, and while in China became bored so decided to apply and was accepted to an English teaching position. The school paid my airfares, accommodation and a small allowance. I really enjoyed teaching the students but felt I wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a good English teacher as I had no foundation to build on. I knew I needed more skills. I came home to New Zealand from my holiday and enrolled in the six-week intensive CertTESOL programme at AIS St Helens. The programme was really intensive and challenging, and I knew I was learning what I needed to become a good English language teacher to second language learners. The teaching staff were wellqualified and experienced and encouraged us all. I never went back to Harbin. I joined the AIS St Helens English Language Centre where I have been for the last 10 years teaching English to students and really loving it. Since studying CertTESOL I have gained a Masters degree in Applied Language Studies from the Auckland University of Technology.

Lesieli Filivao Bachelor of International Business Before I attended AIS St Helens, I was working for Paradise International Hotel in Tonga as an accounts manager. Having worked for several years in accounts, I realised that for me to get ahead I needed an accounting qualification. Choosing New Zealand and AIS St Helens to further my education in accounting was the right decision for me. I was fortunate to receive a Pacific Island Educational Scholarship. My two years studying were the most pleasurable and memorable throughout my study history. The institute has a strong faculty and high-quality academic staff. I had the most caring, intellectually stimulating and responsive lecturers and tutors. They have equipped me with the knowledge, skills and the professionalism that I needed for my career, and the critical thinking that I needed for lifelong development of my knowledge in accounting and the business sector. I am now employed at New Zealand Industrial Specialists Limited as an accounts manager. Being educated at AIS St Helens helped me find a good job in New Zealand. I am so proud to apply what I have learned to my employment today.

AIS St Helens

develop

confidence.

Hao Sun Bachelor of Information Technology My journey into the IT industry started at AIS St Helens. The quality and practical aspects of the programme were the reasons I chose to study the Bachelor of Information Technology. The programme offered me a great opportunity to gain in-depth knowledge and understanding of how the IT industry affects society, and practical skills in the IT field. The knowledge and skills I gained at AIS St Helens helped me develop confidence, which in turn enabled me to secure a good position with one of the most promising IT companies in Auckland. I currently work as a developer for BuzzTasker Ltd and my job responsibilities range from the presentation layer using JavaScript, jQuery and Ajax, to server coding with C#, ASP.NET and ADO.NET, plus database design and development. As a result of my studies at AIS St Helens, we have created a web-based application: www. buzzTasker.co.nz. A large part of my success can be attributed to my lecturers who were very supportive throughout my studies at AIS St Helens.

Persistence, patience

and

focus.

Zeeshan Qureshi Graduate Diploma in Tourism Management Persistence, patience and focus were Zeeshan’s keys to a job in the The Langham, a five-star hotel in the heart of Auckland. Landing a job in the food and beverage department wasn’t easy as Zeeshan lacked the necessary skills and experience when he first applied. So he went about earning an AIS St Helens qualification before reapplying at the hotel. A student from India, he is proud to talk about his journey to AIS St Helens and on to The Langham. Dawson’s Catering gave him his first job. Although it was just a casual job, he had patience and tried to work every event that came his way, even on public holidays such as Auckland Anniversary Day. Zeeshan worked in several major events including the 2011 Rugby World Cup and university graduation ceremonies (one university acknowledged his excellence in customer service on stage during the ceremony). He’s also worked at Sky City and Vector Arena. Zeeshan knew he had to focus on his hospitality and tourism management courses as well as gaining work experience if he wanted to reapply to the Langham’s food and beverage department. While studying at AIS St Helens, Zeeshan developed his confidence by meeting new people from all walks of life and culture, and his personal skills and talent grew. Zeeshan is about to apply for his one-year graduate job search visa with The Langham Hotel’s support and job offer. They have already provided him with a reference letter that extols his excellent customer service skills.

confidence

and customer service

skills

improved greatly.

Evi Febrianti Diploma in Hospitality Operations (Level 5) Although I had a Bachelor of Hospitality Management from Indonesia, I worked as the assistant to the commercial director of a solid wood flooring company. The company handled projects such as villas, hotels, apartments, public areas and residential projects. My decision to study at AIS St Helens in New Zealand was very simple. I had relatives in Auckland, but more importantly I had relatives who had studied at AIS St Helens and had spoken about how good their experience had been at the institute. I really enjoyed the programme. The lecturers made the courses interesting and were good. Making coffee was a totally new experience to me, and visiting Jungle Coffee to see the coffee roasting process added to this. My confidence and customer service skills improved greatly while working in the Asquith Campus training cafĂŠ. Working part-time in a New World supermarket has also helped me develop confidence and introduced me to the New Zealand working environment. I am now looking forward to joining the hospitality industry.

TheMBA

helped me

achieve mygoal.

Qiyuan Alex Su Master of Business Administration Good English, a tertiary qualification from New Zealand and a good job after graduating were the key goals of my parents in sending me to New Zealand 10 years ago. My aim was to own my own business. I started in Vodafone New Zealand as a retail sales consultant and a year later became a business relations manager. On the recommendation of several friends, I joined the MBA programme while working for Vodafone. The MBA helped me achieve my goal as I am now managing director of a Platinum Mobile dealership for Two Degrees Mobile Ltd. The contributions of the lecturers and the teaching and assessment methodologies were invaluable to me, and I could use my business start up and development experiences for projects and assessments, which helped me develop my successful business. The discussions on the New Zealand economic environment and business law were particularly valuable. The combination of excellent staff and local industry visits were helpful in learning how to run and manage my business. I now employ AIS St Helens students in my dealership.

Our Business Administration programmes offer students the choice of enrolling in a Postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration (PGDBA) or a Master of Business Administration (MBA) degree. The MBA is the most internationally recognised business qualification today. It is a professional degree in business management based on a practical programme with theoretical, applied and research underpinning. It covers a range of business disciplines which form the basis of executive decision-making.

In addition to assessed modules, the MBA integrates the curriculum through Integrated Management Learning seminars at two critical stages of the programme (after Stages 1 and 2). The programme provides experiential learning with emphasis on sound corporate values, professional skills development and overall growth. Teaching staff are selected for their special blend of academic qualifications,

Using the interactive lecture/seminar format for management education, skills are rapidly enhanced, building on individual experiences and blending these with new knowledge, perspectives and concepts. Small classes facilitate a highly interactive learning environment.

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.

Accident Insurance The Accident Compensation Corporation provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but international students may still be liable for all other medical and related costs.
