Studying for a semester at the University of Otago offers you the chance to live and learn in the heart of Dunedin, the city by the sea. It has white sand beaches, bush-clad hills, and tidal inlets. It is home to the shy Yellow-eyed penguin, and the world's only mainland breeding colony of the Royal Albatross.

As a student at New Zealand's oldest (founded in 1869) university you will become part of a unique educational experience. Otago's campus and culture are a mixture of historic and modern, old and new.  The campus itself is a short walk from the city's vibrant center. Otago is a known for its research in the medical, biomedical, biological and natural sciences, the liberal arts and law.
