Gap Years

The options for your gap year are endless, but here are some options you could consider.

Working

Getting a job and working for a year is always a great way to earn some money so that you can continue studying the next year.

Travelling

Travelling, whether it is around New Zealand or overseas, it could give you some inspiration about what career path you want to follow or it is just a great experience and a lot of fun before you start building up a student loan!

Exchanges

If you want to experience the world don’t want to go on your own an exchange could be the option for you! Exchanges can take you a huge selection of countries and can be for different length of time.
