Study. Play. Succeed.
Why choose between education and football when you can pursue both? The N1 Study & Play programme helps international student-athletes explore exceptional opportunities to combine quality education with competitive football across New Zealand and Australia.
Your pathway with N1
We provide full-spectrum guidance to ensure every student-athlete transitions smoothly into their new sporting and academic environment, empowering you to thrive both in the classroom and on the pitch.
Education
Identifying suitable study options and supporting your full enrolment journey at leading academic institutions.
Football
Connecting players with appropriate competitive clubs, elite academies, and professional football environments.
Mentoring
Providing dedicated, ongoing support as you adapt to a new country, education system, and football competition.
More than football
Studying internationally provides life-changing opportunities far beyond the pitch. Develop your education, experience another culture, build lifelong independence, elevate your football, create global networks, and prepare yourself for life beyond the game.
Preparation before departure
Taking the step to study and play abroad is exciting. We work closely with you and your family before you leave home, ensuring you know exactly what to expect regarding academic schedules, club commitments, and cultural life in New Zealand or Australia.
Arrival and settlement support
From the moment you land, our Auckland-based team assists with complete onboarding, club introductions, player registrations, and settling into campus life so you can focus entirely on your sport and studies.
