Southern Institute of Technology (SIT) provides quality tertiary education and training across a wide range of subjects and qualifications. From certificates to postgraduate studies, we offer NZQA programmes for students to learn at a level and pathway that suits them.
We are home to the Zero Fees Scheme and are the only tertiary provider in New Zealand to offer a no tuition cost education to domestic NZ students for every year of study, at all levels.
We offer SIT programmes at campuses in Invercargill, Christchurch, Queenstown, Gore, Auckland and online through SIT2LRN Distance Learning.
We also have specialised faculties in music and rural education - MAINZ – Music and Audio Institute of New Zealand (Auckland & Christchurch) and Telford in Balclutha, South Otago.
Quality you can trust
With a history dating back to 1880, SIT has five campuses and over 13,000 students. All our 200+ programmes are accredited by the New Zealand Qualifications Authority, listed on the New Zealand Qualifications Framework and link to a wealth of employment or further study options in New Zealand and overseas.
Innovative qualifications
Southlanders are renowned for their ingenuity and you can expect nothing less at SIT. Not only are our qualifications cutting-edge, but they will also encourage you to think outside the square. You will also benefit from our strong links with business and industry.
Flexible programmes
Many of our programmes offer multiple intakes every year. From our English Language Institute which offers intakes almost every week to our business programmes which offer between four and nine intakes a year, we make it easier to start studying.
Expert staff
Our staff make the difference. Our academic and industry qualified staff from Southland and around the world are leaders in their fields. Small class sizes mean you get personalised attention from our friendly academics.

Thanks to strong community support, SIT can keep its fees low for students. Unlike many other institutions, we don't have lots of different fees and charges: our course fee and resource fee covers the vast majority of services you'll need. You will struggle to find better value for a world-class education.
