University of Otago, Otago & Southland, New Zealand
Founded in 1869, the University of Otago is New Zealand’s oldest and finest university.
Most teaching takes place on the Dunedin campus and the majority of the University’s 20,000 students have come from outside the Dunedin area to enjoy the unique lifestyle in New Zealand’s only true student city.
Research excellence underpins academic activity at Otago and a strong research culture is fostered across all four divisions – Business, Health Sciences, Humanities and Sciences.
