Is it true that in New Zealand, expenses are very high and it is difficult to get a part-time job while studying physical education for a Master's?
Yes, living expenses in New Zealand are higher than in India, especially in major cities, but they are manageable with good planning. Average living costs for international students are around NZD 20,000/year, and Master's tuition typically ranges from NZD 26,000 - 45,000/year.
You can usually work part-time (up to 25 hours/week during terms and full-time in breaks) if your course meets visa rules. While part-time jobs directly related to Physical Education may be limited, general roles in hospitality, retail, and administration are commonly available.
Part-time earnings can help with living costs but rarely cover tuition, so financial planning is essential.
How much will a month in NZ cost you?
Rent, food and travel. A real monthly budget, city by city.
