Benefits of studying

New Zealand is a solid choice for a future-oriented study-abroad destination.

A "safe, secure" and "high-quality educational environment" for international students

New Zealand is a warm and welcoming country for international students. With a safe and open society, you can study and live in peace. With a globally recognized educational standard, international students can gain an invaluable experience.

New Zealand offers an international education that is unique to the country. The benefits of this education are felt throughout the country, from urban to rural areas, and it is creating value not only through education but also through business, innovation and human connections.

Hear from people

Yuka Matsuzaki has been involved in the program to send international students to New Zealand for many years and has built strong relationships of trust with local Schools. Utilizing her wealth of experience and network, she has provided excellent support in various aspects of my research activities, such as coordinating communications with schools and accompanying me on-site. I deeply respect her attitude of always accurately grasping requests and responding promptly, courteously, and tenaciously. Her flexible and positive attitude, even in difficult situations, has earned her the trust of those around her, and I can trust her with confidence. I sincerely hope she will continue actively participating in exchanges between Japan and New Zealand.

Yuka values ​​connecting with people above all else. When working with her, we feel a strong connection as comrades who share a passion for raising students together, not just business partners, due to her deep desire for her students' growth. That's why, even if she speaks her mind without any reservations, the relationship never falls apart, and she can continue to be a super agent that everyone can trust.

With her extensive experience and achievements, what wonderful experiences will the new New Zealand study abroad program that Yuka will create from now on offer to students? Just imagining the future that this study abroad program will bring, we can't contain our excitement.

We have been working with Yuka since 2011. Every year, she provides strong support to Japanese university students participating in service learning in New Zealand who live with host families. When problems arise, he responds immediately so we can send our students off with peace of mind. Yuka promptly resolves concerns and questions that arise from time to time, which demonstrates that he provides precise instructions to the team he manages on the ground. Given how well he treats the students, he is sincerely considerate of the situation and feelings of each team member. That is why the students can stay with peace of mind while benefiting from his efforts. For us, Yuka is a very valuable and appreciated person. We strongly feel that he is always there to support us, understanding our situation, position, and feelings.

Yuka also actively engages in dialogue with us. From these conversations, she makes constructive suggestions and acts as a bridge between us and local school officials, which enables us to continue developing our existing overseas experience programs. This is something we never imagined when we started in New Zealand. To borrow an old Showa-era expression, I think it's necessary to "sweat" to connect people. I don't mean to praise him for being spiritual, but Yuka continues to work tirelessly on "invisible efforts" that involve single-minded effort, providing us with new value. We have placed a firm trust in his attitude, drive, and kindness for many years.
Yuka's flexible ideas and drive will help him succeed in new businesses as well. We are pleased that even more people will be able to experience the sense of security and inspiration that Yuka brings.
