Kia oraWelcome to New ZealandIt is my pleasure, as Chief Executive, to welcome international students and visitors to CPIT.

Were one of the South Islands largest tertiary institutes, attracting innovative and exciting

learners from our own shores and more than 50 countries across the globe.

For the past century we have advanced a unique approach to applied education that enriches

career opportunities for our graduates.

Our city of Christchurch is New Zealands third largest, with a strong reputation for leading

technological innovation and is rapidly evolving as New Zealands most inspiring city to live in.

We look forward to hearing of your successes and the discovery of lifelong friendships and

mentors within our vibrant community.

South Island,New ZealandImages of the South Island are highlighted throughout Tourism

New Zealands 100% PURE campaign. Te Wai Pounamu is

the Mori title, reflecting the highly valued gem unique to this

island greenstone (nephrite jade).

Our land of big skies, magnificent mountains and exquisite

jewel coloured lakes is also favoured by directors for setting

their epic cinematic classics like the Narnia films and the Lord

of the Rings trilogy.

Its adventure central with almost every kind of extreme sport

you can think of, yet for many visitors, the thrill is in discovering

the freshness of the air, the delectable local foods and a

serene space to simply relax and picnic away an afternoon.

The seasons are stunning with distinct changes in landscape

from the beautiful blossoms that decorate Christchurch in

spring, to the snow clad peaks of the Southern Alps as a

backdrop to the city each winter.
