International Students

Haere Mai and Welcome to The National School of Aesthetics

We are proud to accept international students on certain courses. We are signatories to the Education (Pastoral Care of Tertiary and International Learners) Code of Practice 2021, including the international learners sections. An international student is a person who holds foreign citizenship and does not have:

  • New Zealand citizenship
  • Australian citizenship
  • A valid New Zealand residency class visa
