The University of Otago, founded in 1869 by an ordinance of the Otago Provincial Council, is New Zealand's oldest university. The new university was given 100,000 acres of pastoral land as an endowment and authorised to grant degrees in arts, medicine, law and music.
Students have access to university facilities including information services, 24-hour computer suites, student health, careers advisory services, clubs and societies, and recreation services.
In 2008 Otago University will have over 20,000 students enrolled and has a presence in each of the four main cities of New Zealand – Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin.
