NEWS AND EVENTS

To better address the learning needs of our clients NIS has recently set up an office in Shanghai, China and Brisbane, Australia. Having an office in Shanghai enables NIS to better manage the transition Chinese students into the New Zealand educational environment and the office in Brisbane assists in consolidating NIS pathways into many Australian Universities. Future development of NIS is expected to involve building stronger links with market representatives in Thailand and Vietnam.
