a f f o r d a b l e l i v i N g c o s t s

The living costs in New Zealand are very affordable compared to many other cities.

These costs total approximately NZ$15,000 per year* including accommodation, transport and food, meaning that you will receive a world-class education at a reasonable price.

The University of Auckland is the only New Zealand university invited to join the international networks the Association of Pacific Rim Universities (which includes the University of California), Universitas 21 and the Worldwide Universities Network. Membership of these groups is by invitation only and is limited to research led institutions of international reputation across a broad range of disciplines.


The University of Auckland welcomes international students and has accredited the Taylors Auckland Foundation Year programme as a pathway to the University. Taylors students who attain the grades specified for admission to the particular degree programme (refer page 19) are guaranteed entry to The University of Auckland.

The University is situated in the heart of Auckland and provides an exciting and stimulating environment for its 40,000 students. Currently over 4,700 international students from 90 countries have chosen to study at Auckland, testimony to both the University’s comprehensive range of research-based study programmes and the recognition they are receiving internationally. Graduates of The University of Auckland occupy leading positions in business, law, medicine, politics, arts, engineering and the professions within New Zealand and overseas.

I am pleased to confirm the arrangement with Taylors College Auckland that recognises the Taylors Auckland Foundation Year as a pathway for entry into degree programmes at the University. Under these arrangements, the University will guarantee entry into degree programmes for

students whose results in the Taylors Auckland Foundation Year (TAFY) meet the predetermined standards specified for each of the University’s degree programmes, and who meet all the other entry requirements for admission to the University. The Taylors Auckland Foundation Year programme is approved by a Board of Studies established specifically for that purpose by the University and Taylors College Auckland.

p u b l i c i t Y

The student (and, where applicable, his or her parent or guardian):

(i) agrees that the student’s photographs, videos, artwork or other works, as well as recorded or written testimonials and details of the student’s achievements (“Student Images and Testimonials”) may be used by Study Group, or by a third party agent of Study Group, worldwide for promotional purposes including in its printed and online marketing materials and on any social media network without further consent or notification; and

In the event of a dispute between an individual student and Taylors College, internal procedures are in place to facilitate the resolution of the dispute. A summary of these procedures follows.

1. Code of conduct, attendance and discipline

Students are expected to abide by the terms and conditions of enrolment and the published rules and code of conduct of Taylors College. Disciplinary procedures will be applied in the event of a breach of these rules. All staff are expected to apply Taylors College’s policy and rules fairly and without favour, but if a student considers that this has not occurred, the student may refer the matter to a senior staff member. If dissatisfied with the decision, the student may refer the matter to the Principal for determination. Independent external mediation may also be sought if the matter cannot be resolved within the school.

2. Service and academic programme

In the event of a student complaint concerning the quality of the service or teaching provided by the school, the student will report the matter to a person in a position of authority within the school. The complaint may either be dealt with by that person, or referred to the Principal for resolution. The Principal will confer with the parties in dispute, and the decision of the Principal will be final. This decision will be conveyed in writing to the parties. If the student remains dissatisfied with the outcome, he/she may seek independent external mediation.

3. Contractual and financial issues

Matters relating to the interpretation of the application, or the payment or refund of money, are stated clearly in the brochure. Any queries relating to course fees and other charges payable to Taylors College (or refunds) will initially be dealt with by the Finance and Administration staff. If the student is dissatisfied with the decision, the matter will be referred to the Finance Director of Study Group for determination. If either the action taken or the outcome does not satisfy the student,

he/she may write to the Managing Director, who will in turn convey a decision in writing to the student. If the student remains dissatisfied with the outcome, he/she may seek independent external mediation.

4. The Code of Practice for Pastoral Care of International Students

Taylors College has agreed to observe and be bound by the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students published by the Minister of Education. Copies of the Code are available on request from this institution or from the New Zealand Ministry of Education website at: minedu.govt.nz/goto/international.

5. Health and travel insurance

Most international students are not entitled to publicly funded health services while in New Zealand. If a student receives medical treatment during his/her stay, he/she may be liable for the full costs of the treatment. Full details on entitlements to publicly-funded health services are available through the Ministry of Health, and can be viewed on their website at: moh.govt.nz.

The Accident Compensation Corporation provides accident insurance for all New Zealand citizens, residents and temporary visitors to New Zealand, but students may still be liable for all other medical and related costs. Further information can be viewed on the ACC website at: acc.co.nz.

International students must have appropriate and current medical and travel insurance while studying in New Zealand.

6. Immigration

Full details of visa and permit requirements, advice on rights to employment in New Zealand while studying, and reporting requirements are available through the New Zealand Immigration Service, and can be viewed on their website at: immigration.govt.nz.

7. New Zealand Qualifications Authority

Students may contact the New Zealand Qualifications Authority if they experience any difficulties with the above procedures. The nearest office of the Authority is at:

Level 13, 125 The Terrace Wellington, New Zealand P.O. Box 160, Wellington, New Zealand T: +64 4 802 3000 F: +64 4 802 3112 E: [email protected] W: nzqa.govt.nz

A summary of the Code of Practice for the Pastoral Care of International Students.

The Code sets standards for educational providers to ensure that:

> high professional standards are maintained

> the recruitment of international students is undertaken in an ethical and responsible manner

> information supplied to international students is comprehensive, accurate, and up-to-date

> students are provided with information prior to entering into any commitments

> contractual dealings with international students are conducted in an ethical and responsible manner

> the particular needs of international students are recognised

> international students under the age of 18 are in safe accommodation

> all providers have fair and equitable internal procedures for the resolution of international student grievances.

Full details of what is covered can be found in the Code itself.

The Independent Education Appeal Authority (IEAA) is an independent body established to deal with complaints from international students about pastoral care aspects of advice and services received from their education provider.

The IEAA enforces the standards of the Code of Practice.

If your concerns have not been resolved by Taylors College’s complaint process, you can go to the IEAA website at http://www.justice.govt.nz/tribunals/international-education-appeal-authority.
