New Zealand universities generally follow the British model of three-year undergraduate (bachelors’) degrees with an increasing level of specialisation and difficulty in each year.

When Vietnamese electrical engineering graduate Vinh Le wanted to upgrade his skills, he chose New Zealand and Otago for his master’s. He had been working in IT for 13 years as an engineer, business analyst and Vinh Le project manager, and had already studied business marketing on a Belgian Vietnam distance-learning programme. Master of Business Data Science Vinh decided Otago’s academic reputation and practical courses in Business Data Science held more attractions than Europe. “I wanted to enrich my knowledge and studying abroad was a good option. The programme offered at Otago is world-class. It’s as good as anything you’ll find in Australia, Europe or the USA, and the living costs here are cheaper.” There were other attractions too. “I’m a Lord of the Rings fan, and I plan to visit every filming location in New Zealand. It’s a fascinating country with beautiful landscapes and a small population. “The population in Ho Chi Minh City is 10 million, and it’s hot and crowded and full of traffic jams. Coming to Otago is like heaven. I love the place. “People are very friendly and supportive. When I first got here I was walking around campus with a map and students would come up and help me without me asking. I’ve been able to adapt to life here quickly.” Academic life is working out well. “At first I was shocked at the volume of work “THE COURSE to get my master’s in a year but after a month I found I could keep up with the IS JUST WHAT I pace of learning. “I’m impressed with the facilities, the hospitality of the staff and lecturers, and WANTED TOO. the support that is available. I LIKE THIS PLACE “The course is just what I wanted too. I like this place very much and want to VERY MUCH AND stay here longer.” After graduating, Vinh hopes to find work in New Zealand and be able to WANT TO STAY move his wife and two sons to Otago. “It’s hard being away from them, but we HERE LONGER.” talk on Skype every day.” 15

I am grateful to my then supervisor, who India suggested contacting the University of Otago.” PhD, Anatomy Now Neha is finishing her PhD examining the skeletal remains of infants and children found at an archaeological site in Thailand. Her research, based in the Department of Anatomy, is part of a broader theme investigating the biological consequences of the intensification of agriculture among prehistoric Southeast Asian populations. Arriving in Dunedin from Mumbai, Neha experienced culture shock at first. “Coming from one of the most densely populated cities in the world, I found Dunedin to be a much calmer and relaxed town.

Now I’ve become more patient and relaxed and I love Dunedin.” The University was everything she wanted. “I love Otago. I have access to learning resources like the material housed in the Anatomy Museum, and I have also found the Student Learning Centre workshops for research students, “HAVING A GREAT on topics like thesis writing and conference presentations, very helpful.

Chemistry and Mathematics “I like it here,” she says. “It’s quiet. It’s small and it’s really easy to concentrate on studying.” Even Dunedin’s reputation for cold winters doesn’t faze this conscientious student. “I love the weather here, especially rainy days, which are a complete contrast to the hot dry summers and cold dry winters of Beijing.” Coco came to Otago in 2011 and studied English at the University’s Language Centre for seven months before starting her foundation year. For the last four years she has boarded privately with a Kiwi family, who treat “I THINK I’VE her like one of their own children.
