Aoraki Polytechnic welcomes International students to study one of a selection of its highly interesting and rewarding courses. Aoraki Polytechnic has hosted International students for many years and its alumni recall, not only the first-class programmes, but also, the friendliness, the support, the smaller classes, the facilities and the memorable experience that is 'Study at Aoraki'.
