Our programmes are designed to provide students the opportunity to spend time exploring the design industry in different countries and to build connections that will last a lifetime.
Prime Ministers Scholarship for Asia
The Prime Minister’s Scholarship for Asia (PMSA) is a programme funded by the New Zealand government and administered by Education New Zealand.
The scholarship aims to:
strengthen New Zealand’s ability to engage with key Asian trading partners
improve the international skills of the New Zealand workforce
improve the internationalisation of New Zealand tertiary institutions
increase international understanding of the strength and quality of New Zealand's education system
establish connections between New Zealand and other countries through participants building lifelong friendships and networks
strengthen New Zealanders' understanding of other cultures
“Auckland University of Technology (AUT) partnered with Eden Travel in June 2018 to offer unique academic, cultural, and practical experiences in Asia for New Zealand students. Along with Massey University in Palmerston North, New Zealand, we were successful in receiving a New Zealand Government grant to send students for a month-long programme in early 2019. The feedback from the students were extraordinary, and as a result we are submitting additional proposals for late 2019 / early 2020.
Eden Travel are an absolute pleasure to work with, and we will continue to work closely with them to develop wonderful experiences in Asia for our students.”
In addition, some of the companies that we work with offer students additional scholarship opportunities.
An example of this is Redress, who organise the largest sustainable design award globally.
