Study in Australia - New Zealand citizens are entitled to study at Australian tertiary institutions without requiring a student visa. New Zealand citizens will be charged domestic student fees rather than international student fees, however they are not usually eligible for Australian student loans.

The Australian National University (ANU) has an international reputation for excellence in research and education. ANU is Australia's most research-intensive University.
Choose ANU will outline why you should choose this university
When the time comes to apply for programmes & courses at an Australian university, NZQA will assess your results and provide an entrance rank called an ATAR. This will be a number between 0.00 and 99.95 with increments of 0.05. An ATAR of 80.00 indicates that you are in the top 20 per cent of your academic age group (approx). Keep this in mind as a guide when you check the entry requirements for their programmes (as a conversion is not possible 'before' you apply). Also check out their step by step link on how to apply. There are a number of links for information about accommodation in Canberra so I suggest you have a good look around.
