Internationalisation
SIT is committed to the internationalisation of its campuses and programmes. In addition to embedding international contexts within relevant programme curricula, SIT prepares students to work in a global market, including through opportunities for students to study abroad.
SIT hosts a rapidly growing number of international students. SIT's international strategy was adopted as an explicit attempt to address labour shortages in Southland. In 2012, over 626 students from 42 different countries around the world studied at SIT. SIT also has a cosmopolitan staff, with an eighth of its staff in 2012 hailing from overseas.
SIT has a number of international partnerships and is a member of the International Association of Universities.
