International Pacific College

Founded in 1990, IPC is a truly international tertiary institution with the mission of delivering appropriate, sustainable and high quality educational programmes and experiences for international students from two dozen countries, including New Zealand. Teaching programmes, at Foundation, Diploma, Bachelor’s and Master’s levels, emphasise an interdisciplinary perspective, critical thinking and a strong sense of global citizenship. Students are challenged to attain their intellectual, social, vocational, cultural and physical potential within a supportive environment on a park like campus. There is also a small campus in Queenstown for tourism students.

IPC’s programmes are approved by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority and students participate in small, genuinely international classes. Most students live on-campus in the Halls of Residence with many extra-curricular activities available in addition to access to a well equipped Recreation Centre and a well resourced tertiary library. IPC provides expert ESOL teaching and support for non-native speakers of English. Graduates are sought after for their intercultural communication skills and bilingual ability, particularly – but not only - in Japanese. Internship opportunities and career development support is provided as a basis for future employment.
