Why did you choose ҕl?
It has a beautiful campus in a stunning country. ҕl's Business School is ranked 1st in New Zealand and 12th globally in Hospitality & Tourism Management in the 2024 Shanghai Global Rankings of Academic Subjects.
Best things about study at ҕl:
My 5-year life at ҕl is much more than studying, but also learnt how to achieve work-life balance, how to set a goal and achieve it, and how to see inside of myself.
