Day 2 at the Southern Institute of Technology 🇳🇿✨

ePathways continued its visit to SIT as part of an exclusive invitation for education agents to further explore the institution’s offerings and opportunities for international students.

During the visit, the SIT team introduced their management team, academic programs, scholarships, student support services, and campus facilities. We also had the opportunity to interview current students and hear firsthand about their experiences studying and living in New Zealand — providing valuable insights into student life at SIT.

The Southern Institute of Technology tour was a fantastic experience — an inspiring campus with amazing opportunities for students in IT, Engineering, Agriculture, Nursing, Cookery, and more. A great place to study, grow, and build a bright future! ✨
