Program Description

The University of Otago campus is situated in the center of Dunedin, a city offering the best of both worlds to students. It has the facilities, entertainment and variety of larger cities, with a wide range of social, cultural and sporting activities. However, it is small enough to be friendly, uncrowded and safe. With a population of 120,000, it is the major city within the province of Otago. A city by the sea, Dunedin has white sand beaches, bush clad hills, tidal inlets and volcanic landforms.

The University of Otago is broken up into four separate departments: Division of Commerce, Division of Health Sciences, Division of Humanities, and Division of Sciences. Most of the instructors in these departments teach students content specific to their area of expertise, though some do teach classes in other academic areas.

The Recreation Center on campus is where students learn about activities and courses offered. Whether students enjoy crafts, relaxation or outdoor activities, there is something for everyone. Organized trips are available around the South Island- skiing, snowboarding, cycle tours, sea kayaking and more.

The city’s strong cultural bias is viewed in its modern public art gallery, its strong professional theatre, museums and libraries that rank among the countries finest. The heart of the city is lined with restaurants and sidewalk cafes. Modern shopping complexes trade alongside boutiques, galleries and weekly craft markets.
