WHANGAREI

We are ranked second most peaceful country (Global Peace Index, 2017), making it one of the safest countries in the world in which to live. Our small population of 4.4 million makes us one of the least crowded countries in the world.

New Zealand has a temperate climate, with warm and dry summers and relatively mild and wet winters.

Our many beaches, lakes, subtropical forests and mountains are clean, unspoiled and easily accessible, and offer endless possibilities for outdoor activities and an unbeatable lifestyle.

New Zealand’s inclusive, multicultural society is one that’s renowned for its welcoming, friendly and respectful nature.

NorthTec’s main campus is located in Whangarei, the largest city in the Northland region and one of the top holiday destinations in New Zealand because of its warm climate and natural beauty. Translated from Mäori, Whangarei means “cherished harbour” and is home to some of the country’s most beautiful beaches on the Pacific coastline, from Bland Bay in the North to Langs Beach in the South.

1 2

Whangarei boasts a sub-tropical climate, stunning coastline, relaxed lifestyle and relatively low cost of living. The city is compact enough to make it relatively easy to get around by walking, cycling or using a local bus service.

3 4

Whangarei has a vibrant city life with a good variety of retail outlets, restaurants, bars and night clubs, as well as an active international community from Europe, the US and Canada, Asia and the Middle East.

Whangarei is only a two-hour drive from Auckland with a regular bus service providing a safe and cost-effective link between the two cities.

Skilled migrants who apply for residence, and have a job offer outside Auckland, get a boost in bonus points (from 10 - 30 points).

NorthTec’s Auckland campus is located at the heart of New Zealand’s largest city, which is ranked the world’s third most liveable city in Mercer’s 2017 Quality of Living Survey. Auckland is fondly called the City of Sails, derived from the popularity of sailing, with roughly one out of three households owning a boat.

Auckland is a melting pot of cultures, which is reflected in its vibrant lifestyle, cuisine, arts, music and events.

Auckland is a cosmopolitan city with a warm, temperate coastal climate but is also known for having four seasons in one day.

Auckland is an events hub featuring food and cultural festivals, concerts and plays with top international performers, arts and crafts markets, water and land sports, and health and wellness events.

Auckland is home to iconic places like the Sky Tower, Bastion Point, Devonport, the islands of Rangitoto, Waiheke and Great Barrier, seaside haunts like The Viaduct, Queens Wharf, The Promenade at Mission Bay, and multi-awarded vineyards, restaurants and cafés.

Y STUD

S E D TRA CHNICAL E T D N A Maninder Singh Maninder came to New Zealand in August 2013, with the wild dream of becoming a successful civil engineer and full of passion and zeal to go all the way to fulfil that dream.

“What I needed was a mentor to offer guidance and advice as I entered my training programme. I couldn’t have been happier with my decision to study at NorthTec. The tutors were always very helpful with my course work, and the International Department provided amazing support and assistance with my accommodation and immigration requirements. My experience in New Zealand, so far, has been great. I love Whangarei! “Just when I was about to finish my first year, I got a job at MWH Global as a Cadet (Civil Engineering Technician). That was a big breakthrough in fulfilling my dream. Going forward, I plan to excel in this job and become a professional civil engineer.”
