Study and Travel in New Zealand for free

GO Overseas and Education New Zealand are running the 5th annual promotion to offer five full-tuition #scholarships to study abroad in #NewZealand.

Five well-deserving students will have the opportunity to live abroad, expand their cultural competencies and add a valuable asset to their resume - all for free. In addition, STA Travel will be sponsoring two of the student’s round-trip flights. Two undergraduate and three graduate students will be selected to win this year’s scholarships.

The paperless scholarship application is unlike a traditional essay format. The goal is to get students engaged and excited about New Zealand from the get-go so even if they don’t win the scholarship, they will still be interested in studying abroad.

VisitBritain launches print magazine

AS the number of international visits to Britain continues to break records, VisitBritain and the GREAT Britain campaign have launched an annual print magazine aimed at inspiring even more people to visit Britain. 

The ‘Imagination – Make Britain Your Own’ magazine showcases Britain as an ideal place to holiday, study, and do business.

Featured in the first issue are British adventurer and TV host Bear Grylls talking about studying in the UK, a feature on Highclere Castle in Berkshire, the setting for hit TV series Downton Abbey, as well as profiles on shopping, food, and adventure.

The 86-page magazine is available in print and digital formats and has been translated into Arabic, Chinese, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Brazilian-Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish, giving it a combined global reach in the tens of millions.

The GREAT Britain campaign’s partners – the British Council, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and UK Trade and Investment – are promoting the magazine in emerging tourism markets including South Korea, Singapore, and Mexico, which show strong tourism growth potential but where VisitBritain currently has no physical presence.
