ABOUT US

About the China NZ Cultural Exchange Centre

Headquartered at 76 Symonds St, Auckland City, New Zealand, the China NZ Cultural Exchange Centre was founded in 1999 and has served students worldwide for over two decades. Over the years we have become an official partner and tier-one agent for world top-500 universities, polytechnics and schools, with branch offices in Nanchang and Changchun, China.

From providing basic admission applications, we have grown into a full-service platform for international students — covering study, career planning, tutoring and living support, caring for students in every detail, and giving parents and children peace of mind through seamless domestic and overseas integration.

As a long-standing bridge between China and New Zealand, we hold first-hand local insights and have organised and curated numerous large-scale cultural exchange events, building broad and deep partnerships with local government, provincial chambers of commerce, industry associations and Chinese community organisations. We are also the founding organisation of a Chinese volunteer association in New Zealand.
