Wellington Region

The Wellington Region occupies the southern tip of the North Island and hosts New Zealand’s capital city, Wellington, as well as surrounding coastal and rural areas. It offers a unique blend of political, cultural and natural significance: a harbour city, creative industries, hills, coastlines and a rich arts scene. Schools based in the Wellington Region can highlight not only academic promise but access to national institutions, culture and diverse living environments — ideal for international students who want city life with nature nearby.
