Somewhere along the line I learned that PhD's in NZ are charged at local rates -- about $3k a year, USD for tuition. Doctoral work in NZ is on the UK system -- dissertation only, no coursework required (though I plan to audit some if I can). I can do it in 2-3 years. A big long paper, nothing else.
I found out today I was accepted into a program and -- oh, what the heck. I have been in Korea since 2005. How about a change. Has anyone done this? |
I've been accepted at Korea U. and an Australian university into a linguistics program - I start next semester.
I think you might be mistaken about the big, long paper being the only thing that you'll have to do before you get to call yourself Dr. Trevor. Writing a research proposal, research, grant applications, research, giving conference presentations, research, asking for an extension, revamping your experimental design, research, applying for a travel grant, writing a journal article, re-writing a journal article, conference presentation, research, research, research, and, finally, a big, long paper. |

Are you going to live there, Trevor?
Also, if you are not resident nor citizen of NZ surely you are charged at international student rates? In which case would be five times higher than the 3k. |

But there are restrictions
| Quote: |
Students enrolled or enrolling in Named Doctoral degrees (including Doctor of Business and Administration (DBA), Doctor of Clinical Psychology (DClinPsych) and Doctor of Education (EdD)) will continue to pay international tuition fees.
Eligibility for the domestic tuition fee status requires Doctoral students to be domiciled in New Zealand for the duration of their candidature, as per the TEC regulations. |

Working while studying
You can work part time while studying full time, under certain circumstances:
to meet course requirements for practical work experience, or
during the Christmas and New Year holiday period if you are in a full-time course of study lasting 12 months or longer, and/or
for up to 20 hours in any given week during the academic year if you are in full-time study at a private training establishment or tertiary institution and taking at least two academic years to complete, or culminating in a New Zealand qualification that would qualify for points under the Skilled Migrant Category.
In order to work, you will need to have the conditions of your permit changed. You can find out how to do this via the Immigration New Zealand website.
If you want to work in New Zealand after you have completed your studies, you need to apply under the Study to Work Policy via the same website.
Fees
When you apply for a student visa, you will need to pay a fee. The fees finder section on the website should help you establish what you will need to pay.
Partners and children of students
If your partner or children want to come to New Zealand with you, they will need to apply for a visitor visa or, if they will also be studying, their own student visa. |

Can students work while they’re studying?
The main purpose of a student visa or permit is to allow international students to study full time in New Zealand. However, in some cases students from overseas can have the conditions of their student permit varied to allow them a limited opportunity to work while studying.
They can undertake work:
to meet a course requirement for practical work experience
for up to 20 hours in any given week during the academic year (including holidays within the academic year) if they are:
undertaking a full-time, course of study at a private training establishment or tertiary institution and taking at least two academic years to complete, or
undertaking a full-time course of study culminating in a qualification that would qualify for points under the Skilled Migrant Category, or
undertaking a full-time, full secondary school year course of study in Years 12 or 13, provided they have written permission from their school and written parental consent, or
engaged in a full-time, course of study of at least six months duration, at a Private Training Establishment or Tertiary Institution, and a visa or immigration officer is satisfied that the primary purpose of the course of study is to develop English language skills, and, at the time of application for a student visa or permit, the student has an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) overall band score of 5.0 or above
during the Christmas-New Year holiday period if they are undertaking a full-time course of study of 12 months or more duration.
Can students work in New Zealand after they finish their course of study?
Students can also work after they finish their course of study if:
they have an offer of employment relevant to their qualification and successfully completed a course in New Zealand that:
had a minimum completion time of three years, or
would qualify for points under the Skilled Migrant Category
they do not have an offer of employment but have successfully completed a qualification in New Zealand that would qualify for points under the Skilled Migrant Category of Residence Policy, for a maximum of six months, to transition from study, to work, to residence with a Graduate Job Search Work Visa/Permit. |
