KUCHING: Have you ever dreamed of going overseas to further your education goals and life aspirations? What better place to do this than in one of the world’s most picturesque countries; pure, clean, green New Zealand!
The Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) is a New Zealand government-owned institute of technology offering tertiary education programmes from certificate level courses right through to
master’s degrees.
SIT main campus is located at the bottom tip of New Zealand’s South Island in a city called Invercargill. They have smaller campuses in Queenstown, Christchurch and Auckland.
SIT programmes are accredited and approved by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority (NZQA).
SIT has a proud history of
providing applied learning and vocational education. For over 45 years SIT has been providing students with quality education across a range of subject areas including Business, Information Technology, Applied Health Sciences, Applied Management, Engineering Technology, Creative Arts, Music & Audio Production, Sports, Nursing, Construction, Architectural Technology and many more.
Since SIT has over 200
programmes across over 30
subject areas, they are able to offer you the opportunity to enter your training at the level that suits you and to progress as you are ready.
Last year, SIT had close to 14,000 full and part-time students out of which 1,800 students were
international students.
The Southern Institute of Technology is at the heart of the innovative South. The region has a population of a little over 100,000.
Southland, however, is facing a dilemma. It is likely to encounter a shortfall of 10,000 workers by 2025 as they deal with an ageing population that will retire and exit the
workplace.
In order to eliminate this threat, SIT is committed to meeting its
commitments to the Southland Regional Development Strategy, which is to bring skilled
workers to the Southland region. And what better way to do this than by offering a quality education that is
integrated with industry and focused on building graduate
skills to be work ready on
graduation?
To this effect, SIT is launching the “20 for 2020 Scholarships” scheme in Malaysia.
Southern Institute of Technology’s representative will be available at NZ Education Fair 2019 tomorrow. For more details about the institute, students and parents are invited to attend the fair, from 1pm to 6pm at Pullman Hotel here.
