Southern Institute of Technology (SIT), located in New Zealand, offers over 200 programmes, some of which are highly-rated throughout the country. Due to strong support from the community that surrounds the University, SIT is able to keep its fees low for its students. International students benefit from both the medical and travel insurance which are included in the resource fee. SIT has strong industry links throughout New Zealand and across the world, because of which students can take part in the practical, hands-on training that employers seek in their employees.
