Lush landscapes beckon

SOUTHERN Institute of Technology’s ( SIT) main campus is located at New Zealand’s southernmost city of Invercargill, South Island, and provides students the opportunity to study in one of the most picturesque parts of the world.

Through its small classes that ensure students get more personal attention from the tutors and hence, greater learning opportunities, SIT also offers students a practical learning environment.

In 2012, SIT completed a NZ$ 5.5mil ( RM15.7mil) redevelopment of the trades and technology teaching and learning areas, which included a new Industry Training Centre.

The School of Nursing also went through redevelopments that same year – a new multimillion- dollar Nursing Simulation Suite was among the new facilities that were added in.

The Student Services area was redeveloped to provide better learning environments for the students.

SIT offers a wide range of study options in a variety of subjects, including, Arts, Digital Media, Business, IT, Environmental Management, Beauty Therapy, Nursing, Social Services, Sport, Massage, Hospitality, Hotel Management, Travel and Trades.

Double- degree student of the Bachelor of Audio Production and Bachelor of Contemporary Music, Shawn Lee, said: “I have chosen SIT as my college to study because it offers the necessary tools and equipment for the course that I have chosen.

“All the course materials and lessons provided both by the school and lecturers are very well- qualified and worthy.

“Although the course may sometimes be a challenge to me, it allows me to fully develop my career path potentially.

“SIT has provided me a multi- nationality environment to engage and interact.”

There is also a range of scholarships and discounts offered to international students, including scholarships for English Language studies, Foundation studies and a special scholarship applicable to Malaysian students.
