The opportunity to expand your horizons, as well as gain an excellent academic experience at the University of Otago, is one I encourage you to take.

As well as providing a high quality education, the University of Otago is located in one of the most scenic parts of the world and Dunedin offers a student lifestyle unlike any other city in Australasia. Founded in 1869, the University of Otago is an integral part of the local community, and we value the contribution students from other countries make to the cultural diversity of both the campus and the city. I challenge you to take up the opportunity to learn more about the internationally renowned “Otago Experience”, and look forward to welcoming you to Dunedin and the University of Otago.
