International students who do not wish to bring their own bedding may purchase a bedding pack for $200. This includes a mattress protector, pillow, sheet set, duvet, and towel. Please indicate whether you require a bedding pack on your EIT | Te Pūkenga Student Village application form. 

Students may contract for the academic year (40 weeks) or one semester (20 weeks). Where the programme is shorter than one semester you can contract for the length of your enrolled programme based on room availability.
