We believe that quality of education is the cornerstone to advancement, of traditions, relationships. History and environment are to be honoured and Dunedin was founded on the principles of freedom of industry, religion and education. It’s a breeding ground for great people and inspirational talent. It’s the city for learning, from pre-school through to tertiary - and we’re proud of it.

The University of Otago was the first university in New Zealand and continues to be at the forefront of education and research – not to mention the renowned Scarfie lifestyle! From surgery to film, there is a degree waiting for you in Dunedin.
