Otago University is New Zealand’s first University and has a reputation for both academic excellence matched with an extraordinary lifestyle and balance. Dunedin is a University City which adds to its appeal in regards to the research, literature, culture and people that are attracted to come here to study, research and teach.
In addition to being a centre of academic excellence, Otago University is New Zealand’s only true residential university. This gives you a student lifestyle that is unparalleled in New Zealand. 85% of our students come from outside Dunedin (including 3,000 international students from 100 countries).
Otago University graduates are globally employable: 95% of our students go into work or to further study. We have a reputation for producing well-rounded, practical, adaptable, resilient graduates. Otago students don’t just focus on academic pursuits, they learn life skills, creative thinking, problem solving and team dynamics. Outside of study they are involved in a wide range of sporting, cultural and community based activities during their time here.
