Studying any European language, such as Italian, helps to gain entry into the new European economy. It is also the study of the culture and history of Italy, a country that has had a great effect on world history, art and the appreciation of food throughout the ages.

New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main landmasses ‒ that of the North and South Islands ‒ and numerous smaller islands. Overseas students need to have a student visa and a reasonable level of cash to spend in order to undertake a course of study at a New Zealand based educational institution. New Zealand educational institutions will inform the appropriate immigration authorities if a student ceases to attend their enrolled courses, who may then suspend or cancel that student's visa. Educational institutions often also exchange this enrollment and attendance data electronically with other government agencies responsible for providing student assistance.

Courses are offered in many ways that help meet the needs of a varied student population. From standard in-classroom study to summer classes and even online offerings, the opportunities to pursue higher education have never been easier.
