WITT attracts international students from all over the world. Karolina, from Russia, found herself in a class full of international students and as a result, she formed new friendships and took with her the best of the new cultures.
She said the tutors at WITT worked hard to help her gain full understanding of the program content.

“It was a very different experience as Russian education is different. I liked the relaxed atmosphere in class, although it was educational and professional, very well planned. Communication with tutors was easy and support staff were helpful.”

“WITT helped me to integrate to life in a new world, gave useful tips and explained basic rules of the country.”

Sunny Singh from Punjab, India graduated with a Diploma in Engineering (Mechanical) from WITT.
Here is what he has to say about his experience:
"I don't like crowded cities. I love peace. Then I found out that Taranaki has been judged the best living place in New Zealand and the best small city in the world," says the 22-year-old. "I always recommend to my friends in my country that they come over here. The staff at WITT are really helpful. It's a good place to live and study, and there are plenty of jobs here."

There is an old Indian saying - 'You need to venture out to find success in life'. Indian diaspora across the world have been able to make a mark, simply because they dared to move out of their comfort zones. And so did Christopher Shridhar of Chennai. Now engaged as a Sous Chef, Cobb and Co Restaurant, Christopher earned a Diploma in Professional Cookery from WITT, Taranaki - arguably the best academic experience you can get in New Zealand. He says, “It was great really, coming here, learning about a new culture.” His smile says the rest.

“I would recommend WITT to those who are serious about their future and working towards becoming a professional," says Prateek Malik, a WITT alumni engaged as Transportation Design Engineer at WSP - Opus in Tauranga.
Prateek holds a Graduate Diploma in Engineering (Highways) Level 7.
The Highway Engineering program is conducted by WITT in collaboration with New Zealand Institute of Highway Technology at Hamilton.
