Entry requirements

New Zealand is one such country which has managed to keep the bars low for the entrances while still imparting a very fine education. The government has worked with a vision of taking the country’s education system to a far reaching peak where it will be equivalent to that of the USA or other European countries. As a result, the universities in New Zealand have more capacity than the number of students getting admitted there. And that has resulted in a very mild competition and entry requirements.
