RICHMOND AMERICAN UNIVERSITY – UK | MASSEY UNIVERSITY – NEW ZEALAND

Since its inception in 2002, ANC Education has facilitated international higher education opportunities for over 25,000 students in collaboration with 200+ universities recognized for their academic excellence and global presence. ANC walked into 2024 fostering new partnerships with more universities held in high regard for producing career-ready graduates. This is expected to broaden study options and career prospects for hundreds of local students who entrust their higher education dreams with ANC every year. Featured here are Massey University from New Zealand and Richmond American University London of the UK. Both universities were well represented at the ANC Education Fair 2024.

MASSEY UNIVERSITY – NEW ZEALAND

Ranked among the top 1% of the world (QS 2023) in terms of academic reputation, research quality, career readiness and employability of its graduates, etc. and considered to be the third largest university in NZ with 27,000+ students, Massey University has three campuses in the cities of Auckland, Palmerston North, and Wellington.

With an impressively high progression rate to date, ANC Foundation and Diploma programs offer a unique pathway for students completing both O-Levels and A-Levels for a seamless transition to Year 1/ Year 2 of the three-year Bachelor of Business program at Massey University.
Auckland, ranked among the most liveable cities in the world, is home to Massy Business School. Considered to be the largest business school in NZ, Massey Business School holds the prestigious AACSB accreditation. Massey’s high quality degree programs are delivered by world-class researchers and high-profile professors.

Through its emphasis on globally relevant and future-focused learning, Massy University ensures that students are equipped with the skills necessary to succeed in the competitive world of business. The university works in close partnership with leading New Zealand companies, ensuring that internships with real businesses are integrated into its curricula. These connections may also help students stay and work in NZ, with the potential for residency.

In addition to the transfer pathway introduced for business students this year, local students who complete ANC Diploma in IT/ science will also have the opportunity to secure a place in Massey university’s highly accredited Bachelor of Information Sciences and Bachelor of Science programs in the future.

What’s more, apart from business courses, any student interested in pursuing a bachelor’s or master’s degree in any field of your choice at Massey University can seek the help of ANC Direct University Placement team. It’s noteworthy that a number of degree programs on offer at the Massey University are either ranked #1 in NZ or among the most popular programs (in terms of career opportunities/ pathway to residency in NZ), food technology, veterinary sciences, agricultural sciences, media and design, construction management, quantity surveying, master’s in business administration, master’s in finance and risk analytics, master’s in information sciences, for example. Massey University is also home to the only aviation school in New Zealand.

MESSAGE FROM THE INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY REPRESENTATIVE

In the words of Pooja Malik, Country Lead, Recruitment and Partnership, Massey University;

“New Zealand is the second safest country in the world and the least corrupt nation. And we genuinely love people. It’s a great place to settle in with families and make a good career. We offer a 3-year post-study work visa once you complete bachelor’s and master’s, and you can work part-time from first day onwards.

…If you want to study in New Zealand, planning ahead is the key. Start one year in advance because the whole process takes about 6 months. Managing your funds is also a very important aspect in NZ migration. The best is to come to ANC. Take their advice in advance so that they could start helping you with the right courses. We also have a pathway option with ANC to our business programs. If you miss on one year, you can do it at ANC and come into year 2 of the business degree at Massey University. The best is to start early. Take your English test intime. And apply at least 6 months in advance to make your journey smooth and stress-free.”

RICHMOND AMERICAN UNIVERSITY LONDON

This is indeed an opportunity for you to graduate with both a UK and US degree while experiencing life in London, the best student city in the world (QS Rankings 2023). Innovative degree programs on offer at Richmond American University London (RAUL) “blend the best of liberal arts education from America with the specialization offered in the UK.” This undoubtedly opens up lucrative global opportunities for employment.

A liberal arts education focuses on preparing students to be well-rounded individuals with transferrable skills and knowledge and enable students to make an informed decision about their career path, for it allows students to explore a wide range of subjects, such as English composition, mathematics, science, IT, social science, business, history, philosophy, etc. Upon successful completion of core curriculum courses, students are allowed to tailor their education to their interests and career goals in year 2/3. Popular degree programs at RAUL include business, computer science, creative arts, health and medicine, media, and social studies.

It’s noteworthy that ANC Education collaborates with Richmond American University London, giving local students the opportunity to complete their general education courses (Year 1 and 2) in Sri Lanka before transferring to London to complete their degree. ANC’s academic partner, Northwood University (NU) -a well-accredited Business university from the US -offers the general education (liberal arts) program at ANC. Student credentials and transcripts from Northwood University represent the equal value to those issued in the US, and ANC students are assured of the same standard of education as practiced in the US. It makes a world-class degree more affordable (financial savings) and provides a smoother transition into more advanced level courses at RAUL.

Richmond American University London also encourage students to engage in various on-campus and London-based events, seek internships, take up volunteer placements, join student clubs and societies, participate in cultural trips and study abroad programs, etc. so that they are well prepared for “life after Richmond.”

MESSAGE FROM THE INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY REPRESENTATIVE

Camille Brewster, International Programs Liaison of RAUL is glad to have participated at the ANC Education Fair 2024 and looking forward to meeting with more students. She says,

“ANC is doing a great job in expanding universities to regions like Jaffna and covering major cities in Sri Lanka. It allows us to reach more students, which is exactly what we want to do. We want to offer the opportunity to all students. We are really happy to be able to meet with students not only from the capital – Colombo, but also from Jaffna, Kandy, and Negombo.

… What makes our university unique is that we are dually-accredited in the UK and US: students who come to Richmond get the best of both worlds – a UK and a US education. We are the first university to award dually-accredited degrees…Richmond is located in central London. It is a very international university. Most of our students are international students. And unity in diversity is very important to us… For students who couldn’t attend the ANC Education Fair, you can get in touch with me via ANC…”

ANC will ensure that you are well-prepared for academic success in New Zealand and London while meeting the entry requirements for your subsequent studies at Massey University as well as Richmond American University London. Also, our expert team of international university advisors will guide you through the application process, hence a seamless transition.
