University of Otago

The University of Otago is New Zealand’s first university and a vibrant international centre of learning. It was established in 1869 by Scottish settlers with a strong conviction in the transforming power of education. Today the University has about 20,000 students, from all over New Zealand and from nearly 100 countries around the world.

The campus life at Otago is also legendary. Most undergraduates study at the main campus in Dunedin, which is the only true university city in Australasia. Many start their university life in one of our 14 residential colleges. The University also has important health sciences campuses in Christchurch and Wellington, a centre in Auckland, and a small campus for the College of Education in Invercargill.

Although the University has grown considerably over recent decades, it still forms a remarkable academic community. Young students come into regular contact with senior academics, while scholars and scientists in different disciplines learn from each other. There are superb facilities for a wide range of cultural and sporting activities. Next year will see the opening of the second largest covered stadium in the southern hemisphere, which is being built on our campus
