It is a friendly, multicultural nation of just over 4 million people.
New Zealand education institutions observe and are bound by the Code of Practice for
the Pastoral Care of International Students. This means that international students
studying in New Zealand can expect a high level of support.
New Zealand education institutions and facilities are world class and an internationally
recognised New Zealand qualification opens up new and exciting opportunities.

New Zealand ASEAN Scholars Awards for Cambodia
The New Zealand ASEAN Scholars Awards were introduced to Cambodia in 2005 under an
agreement with the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) as part of the New
Zealand bilateral development cooperation program.
New Zealand is offering up to 30 scholarships in the 2014 selection round for those who
are working in the public, private or civil society sectors.

New Zealand and ASEAN
New Zealand is a long-standing and committed
partner of ASEAN.

ASEAN and New Zealand have worked together over 35 years to build trade and
business links, foster close political relationships and address regional issues.
