About
Founded in 1869, the University of Otago is New Zealand’s first university and it has been pushing the boundaries of what can be achieved by a higher education institution ever since.
The university has an unparalleled record for teaching quality, receiving more teaching awards than any other university in the country. Postgraduate students make the most of a staggering 3:1 student to staff ratio alongside 12 flagship multidisciplinary research centres.
Otago is unique in that it encourages both students and staff to get involved in volunteering. 80% of staff at the institution are involved with community services such as animal welfare programmes and human rights support groups. The university Volunteer Centre for students works with more than 205 different organisations and over 3,730 registered student volunteers.
Ranking number 12 among universities worldwide for sports-related subjects, the University of Otago boasts brilliant sporting facilities across campus. The university rugby club has played host to the teaching and training of more New Zealand internationals than any other rugby club.
The university is located in one of the 16 most beautiful campuses in the world, according to rankings by the Huffington Post. It also has over 150 different clubs and societies that students can join, and results from surveys show that students are happy with the facilities on offer at the institution.
There have been three different winners of the Prime Minister’s Science Prize at the institution in the last eight years for expert research into the sciences and it receives NZD 183 million in external research funding.
With over 195 different undergraduate and postgraduate courses to choose from, and 95% of graduates moving into work or on to further study, students can be sure of a great education no matter what they study.
