“Navitas has global reach that transcends so many nations, peoples and cultures. This in turn is reflected in the company culture, values and ethos.”

“I find it to be a fantastic place to work and study, it’s a place where students and staff are equally supported which creates a feeling of belonging and purpose. That’s not a given across the education sector.”

“There’s a Māori proverb here in New Zealand, He aha te mea nui o tea ao? He tangata, he tangata, he tangata, which translates to What is the most important thing in the world? It is the people, it is the people, it is the people. This sums up exactly how I feel about Navitas. I’ve made lifelong friends and found leaders which inspire me, and that I can learn from. That to me is invaluable.”
Emma White
Director of Marketing & Student Recruitment, UCIC
Christchurch, New Zealand
“I like the fact that we are a global company with plenty of opportunities to work across different business units and on different projects.”

The two colleges we have acquired complement our existing network of colleges and campuses in Australia and New Zealand and extend the breadth and depth of programs we can offer to prospective students from around the world. Taylors College Auckland will continue to be operated by Study Group.
We are passionate about increasing access to education and working with our staff and university partners to help students overcome barriers and achieve their academic aspirations.
University partnerships are part of our DNA at Navitas, having developed the first university pathway program in 1994 in Perth, Western Australia. Today, we partner with 34 universities globally, including across Australia and New Zealand, to help them grow strong and diverse student populations.
No. The Study Group entities that operate or support Taylors College Sydney and University of Waikato College have been acquired by Navitas and will not change, other than that their names will change from Study Group Australia Pty Limited to Navitas Australia Pty Limited and from Study Group NZ Limited to Navitas NZ Limited.
If you receive any phone enquiries relating to your college or Navitas, please take the journalist’s details and forward to our Navitas communications team at mediaandcomms@navitas.com. Please advise that you are not authorised to comment but will refer the enquiry. If you receive a request by email, social media or app, please do not comment or respond – simply forward to mediaandcomms@navitas.com. Over the coming months we will share the Navitas Media and Speaking Policy.
For your students it means almost no change – they will continue to study at the college, will be taught by the same teachers and the programs will continue to be recognised as qualification for admission to degree level study by the university partner.
We are working closely with college leaders to ensure that this transition is as smooth as possible.
As we integrate these colleges into Navitas, we will be onboarding new student recruitment teams for each college to work alongside the marketing and admissions teams.
These teams will be based on campus (and in some instances, in-market) and will work closely with the wider college teams, your university partner and the global Navitas sales and marketing team who are located across more than 20 countries.
