Message from CEO
Haere mai, welcome
Welcome to the Southern Institute of Technology (SIT), one of New Zealand’s
largest government institutes of technology, and home to the 26 Week Zero Fees
English Scholarships.
SIT is here to help you achieve your academic and career goals.
By choosing SIT, you will get the best of both worlds. Not only will you gain a
challenging academic education, you will also gain real-world experience thanks
to our strong links with industry and employers.
We combine the best of tradition with cutting-edge technology. With a history
dating back to the 1880s, SIT has a proud record of quality education and training.
We have also gained a reputation for innovation, developing New Zealand leading
qualifications, facilities and opportunities for students.
With over 13,000 students and 200 programmes, SIT is large enough to offer you
variety and a student culture, yet small enough to retain a friendly atmosphere
and personalised learning with small class sizes.
Combined with your education, we will help you achieve your academic and career
goals – whatever they may be.
I hope to see you on campus soon!

Kia Ora, Hello!
On behalf of the City of Invercargill, welcome to the
Southern Institute of Technology, New Zealand.
SIT is the pride of Southland. As a government tertiary
institution; it is committed to quality education and
I encourage you to make SIT your choice for higher
education. SIT provides a dynamic, innovative and
friendly environment for domestic and international
students alike.
While studying with us, you will be able to enjoy
Southland, New Zealand’s most picturesque region.
We live in a region full of adventure and recreational
opportunities through to extreme sports challenges.
Not only will you be able to gain a world class
education with SIT, you will be able to do so in the
world class environment of Southland.
Invercargill has excellent sporting facilities such as
the SIT Zero Fees Velodrome, New Zealand’s first
indoor cycling velodrome, an olympic sized swimming
pool and a major indoor stadium. My council also
helps to sponsor a wide range of events for recreation
and entertainment.
You will also be able to enjoy our southern hospitality.
Invercargill is a safe community that welcomes
students from all over the world. It’s also a great
place if you are considering living and working in New
Zealand. Southland’s unemployment rate is one of
the lowest in the country. As a result, we actively seek
skilled migrants to join our community.
So make the smart choice: choose SIT and Southland.
I look forward to meeting you in Invercargill soon.

INVERCARGILL NEW ZEALAND
AND
SOUTHLAND
Southland – a genuine Kiwi experience! Southland
is New Zealand’s southern most province and
is a region of rich natural contrasts, beauty and
wildlife, boasting quality tourist destinations.
The population of Southland numbers around
100,000 people who have an international
reputation for being incredibly hospitable to
visitors coming to the region.
Primarily an agricultural economy, Southland has
gained a top reputation nationwide as a region
for producing innovative, high quality, tertiary
education programmes.
Invercargill, the capital city of Southland, has a
population of 55,000. It is big enough to cater for
your lifestyle needs, yet small enough to provide a
stable and friendly atmosphere in which to focus
on your study.
Invercargill is situated on the southern coast of
New Zealand. The commercial heart of Southland,
it is a flat, spacious place, where it is easy to find
your way around and enjoy a variety of shops,
restaurants and cafes. Accommodation and living
costs are considerably lower than in other major
cities in New Zealand. There is a progressive
increase in the number of students and tourists
coming from China, India, Korea, Indonesia, Nepal,
Russia, Philippines, Sri Lanka Brazil, Germany
and Malaysia.
Invercargill is the gateway to popular tourist
destinations such as Queenstown, Stewart Island
and Catlins, which are all within driving distance
for a good day out and a return trip before
evening. Few regions in New Zealand can better
the diversity of mountains, lakes and fiords,
historic gold mining towns and lush countryside
that Southland has to offer.

OUR CAMPUSES INVERCARGILL & QUEENSTOWN. INVERCARGILL CAMPUS SIT’s main campus is located at 133 Tay Street, Invercargill. On campus facilities include a student gym, bookshop and cafe, and support services such as a health nurse, counsellor, chaplain, learning assistance centre, disability liaison, Iwi liaison and Pacific Island liaison. The ‘Downtown’ campus is located on Don Street and it is very much a creative zone, housing our Art, Design, Photography, Film, Animation, Music, Audio, and Fashion students. These areas work closely together, often collaborating for live performances, exhibitions and filming opportunities during the year. One of the greatest things about Invercargill is the relatively low cost of living. If you’re intending to go flatting, you can expect to find a good, warm house for $100 – $150 per room, per week (plus expenses). Invercargill’s world-class sporting facilities include NZ’s only indoor cycling velodrome (SIT Zerofees Velodrome), brand new water-based hockey turfs on par with the Beijing Olympics, an Olympic-size swimming pool and a huge indoor stadium. As well as having numerous beautiful parks and gardens within the city, Invercargill is the gateway to some of New Zealand’s most beautiful scenery and destinations including the Southland heartland, Stewart Island, Fiordland, the Catlins and Central Otago. 12 SIT International Prospectus
