Master of Business Information Systems - Batch of 2025
4.8
Practically oriented in every perspective.
Tips: The enrollment process at the University of Canterbury was easy. For the initial days, it was obvious I felt cultural differences but after getting used to it, it felt like a home away from home. I was awarded a Dean's Award scholarship. I had a good academic score in my Bachelor and previous work experience helped in get the scholarship which was around 5000 NZD. I am fully satisfied with my university, course and the country - New Zealand.
Likes (Public transportation): The public transportation in Christchurch is excellent. It is well connected to the campus, and even towns 40-50 km from Christchurch are connected with good frequency of timings. The bus is the primary mode of transportation, and fares are subsidized for students at a rate of 1 NZD.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are some jobs on campus like Tutor, Research Assistant, and part-time in some cafes around the campus. Talking about Off-campus jobs there are plenty of them but you must have relevant work experience to easily get those. Academics are easily manageable with the job. Most of the jobs pay the minimum wage in New Zealand which is around 23 NZD.

Learning with fun, and interaction with different communities and people.
Tips: Don't think! Just come to the University of Canterbury. It's the best university. The university provides everything here. All the faculty are here to guide us from scratch. The university has different departments for students to help. The university is very active in terms of hosting events and helping students.
Likes (Indian Food): Hygiene is followed. Quality of food is delivered. Here maximum options are non-vegetarian, but I am a vegetarian. So, I don't eat much from the outside restaurants. I am an Indian and close to my accommodation. There is an Indian restaurant where I go to and enjoy my meal fortnightly. The price is not expensive because if one is earning then he/she can afford eating outside. I prefer to cook by myself and enjoy my meal.
Dislikes (Value for money): It's expensive as compared to other universities. But the fees is justified as we can see that the course offers 180 credits towards our degree, which is good. The professors are very supportive. They are always there to help and encourage us to do good. My overall experience has been the best here.

3.6
A pretty good university with very limited opportunities due to recession.
Tips: There is quite a bit of adjustment when comparing the education system from back in India. In India, as long as we get good marks at the end of the year exams, we get a good overall mark on our report cards. However, here you have to work hard and get good grades in each and every assignment because the amount of weight they carry in your final grades is a lot.
Likes (Safety): The city is pretty safe as I haven't heard much violence against anyone. There is little racism, if any at all, against other ethnicities. There is not any bad experience in particular that I have in the city that I could share. The people here are quite friendly as well which is also good. However, from what I have heard from friends, there is a bit of exploitation done when someone is sponsoring your residence visa if they are your workplace as well. However, the owners in those cases are also mostly Indians.
Dislikes (Post study jobs): Not many companies offer sponsor visas as far as I know. The main reason for my rating of 2 is that the current job market is not very good. The country is in recession and there is an acute shortage of jobs available in a lot of the fields. Quite a lot of the students need to move to cities or even countries to find a good job. The wages/cost of living ratio is also not great for it to be considered a good option to work.

Great university and great exposure to learn and grow.
Tips: I was concerned about the transition from India to New Zealand, but it wasn't that tough. The university and students made me feel very welcome and helped me get into the system. I applied for a scholarship and secured it, which was very helpful. Students should firmly keep an eye on scholarships as they would be reflected in the mark sheet and would be helpful in future job placements.
Likes (Permanent Immigration): I got permanent residency in New Zealand after completing my course and getting a job there. I love the culture and the country. It is peaceful and accepting. If you have the opportunity to settle in New Zealand, you should definitely try it.
Dislikes (Public transportation): I gave public transportation a low rating because bus service can be quite limited, especially late at night and on weekends. However, bus fares are very reasonable, and using a combination of public transportation and bicycles can make travel time faster.

Perfect blend of all the things that a student may need.
Tips: The college is very good overall. There is always a cultural shift when a student studies internationally, but after some time he/she settles. I got a scholarship of 5500$ and it was provided to me on merit basis by the university and it was called Dean's Award Scholarship. Overall, I am totally satisfied with the university and the country.
Likes (Student Life): One can take part in a lot of activities in the campus. In every week or two, there is some event happening. There is a separate committee for organizing events for students. Also, the campus is very beautiful and well planned. We can get everything that we may need.
Dislikes (Part time work): There are ample of jobs, but we require a relevant experience for them, which is difficult for an entry level international student. So as an international student, I am giving a rating of 3. If we got skills in the relevant background, then we can get jobs.

A challenging but fulfilling and rewarding experience.
Tips: It is very important to understand that moving to a new country can be very challenging and overwhelming. The way life works and the processes are different to what you are used to. I think it was really important for me to try and learn the way people live their lives here since you can't change their way of living, so you need to be open to adapting. However, you should never feel like you are alone. Especially if you are moving to Christchurch for University, there is a whole network of people that you can get in contact with, and there are many different clubs to join. Therefore, you mustn't be scared to go out and meet new people. Embrace the new challenges. For me, joining clubs and/or sports teams is the best way to meet new, like-minded people. Furthermore, in terms of scholarships and funding, I managed to get an international student scholarship that allowed me to live in the halls in my first year for free. There are many scholarships that you can apply for, however, you need to make sure that the scholarship applies to international students. In terms of funding, I was fortunate enough that my parents were able to give me a weekly allowance that enabled me to live my day-to-day life. However, since I am studying engineering and playing cricket, I was also able to find jobs that allowed me to make money over the summertime. As long as you work within your visa restrictions, there is a lot of opportunity to find jobs etc. The university experience has been really amazing and I have been able to learn really cool things, both within the university and through daily life. While my course is very challenging, I have learnt some amazing things and could not be more grateful to be learning high-quality, practical knowledge that can be applied in the real world. New Zealand in general is a beautiful place with amazing people and beautiful views, you cannot say too much bad about this country.
Likes (Safety): Christchurch and New Zealand in general is a very safe city and country. The people are very nice and helpful. Although there are crimes like stealing from cars, as I have experienced, it is very easy to navigate through life and I have rarely had trouble trying to fit in within the community. Especially when joining the university, I felt that everyone was extremely supportive and always looking to make new friends. Therefore, the overall UC community is amazing.
Dislikes (Value for money): New Zealand in general is an expensive place to live. And, with international student feels, it makes it extremely expensive. While I have been fortunate enough that my parents can support me through my undergraduate study, a lot of students would not have the same luxury. It seems quite unjustifiable that as an international student, you pay more than 5x the price for the same courses and resources that a local student would get. I had already been in New Zealand for 2 years before joining the university and had a good network of friends already. Therefore, I did not need support as an international student as I am sure international students need.
