IDP education counsellor, Chris, supported Jose and his family through their study journey in New Zealand. Here’s what Jose had to say about his experience with IDP.

"We first came to New Zealand as tourists, but I knew I wanted to study here with my wife and young daughter by my side. The process felt overwhelming at first, but when I met Chris, everything changed. He guided me in choosing the right university, finding a program that matched my goals, and managing a budget that suited our lifestyle as a family. He connected me with the right people and made sure every step of the application was clear."

"With Chris and the IDP team’s help, I was able to pursue my master’s degree here in New Zealand. The journey was tedious, but I could never have done it alone. I’m truly grateful for their support, and I now look forward to finishing my PhD and continuing my future here. I can’t thank Chris and IDP enough for making this dream possible for me and my family.”
