Ara Institute of CanterburyAbout the
Ara Institute of Canterbury is a vibrant,
progressive, government-funded tertiary institute providing world-class,
tertiary-level education throughout the Canterbury and Waitaki region. Ara was
created in 2016 when education providers CPIT and Aoraki Polytechnic merged,
bringing together two well-established organisations and over 200 years of
collective experience and success. Our talented staff, innovative business
collaborators and supportive community partners are passionate about the role
they play in our students' success. Together, we're committed to equipping
every student with the industry-relevant knowledge, skills and experience they
need to get the job they want and to excel in it. Our learning models and
course content continually evolve to respond to industry and regional needs. To
ensure our students have real-world experience, we offer an ever-expanding
array of workplace training opportunities, internships, apprenticeships and
partnerships with industry. And to meet demand for flexible study options, we
offer an increasing range of online, blended delivery and part time programmes.
These measures, combined with a low student-to-tutor ratio and comprehensive
support services, ensure our students thrive in an inclusive, nurturing,
flexible and technology-enhanced study environment where meaningful learning
experiences are the norm. And it means that when they head out into the world,
our graduates are work-ready and equipped with internationally-relevant
qualifications, valuable industry connections and skills that will enable them
to contribute to a fast-changing world.

Accommodation
Accommodation When you first arrive we believe the best choice is to board
with a homestay family and experience the warm hospitality
and family environment that Canterbury is renowned for.
We carefully select and supervise homestay providers. You
will have your own fully furnished room and share evening
meals with the host family. This gives you a chance to
practise your English and quickly understand kiwi culture.
Our homestay services include: • interviews with host families and full home inspection • police vetting of all host families • airport pick-up • a ‘welcome pack’ upon arrival • banking assistance on your first day at Ara
• translators to assist communication • follow up meetings with you and your homestay family to
ensure everyone is happy and comfortable.
There are many accommodation options for you to consider.
You may choose to stay with your host family for the
duration of your studies, move into a furnished hostel or set
up an apartment with friends.
