About The University of Otago
The University of Otago is New Zealand’s first university and a vibrant international centre of learning. The University of Otago was established in 1869 by Scottish settlers with a strong conviction in the transforming power of education. Today The University of Otago has about 20,000 students, from all over New Zealand and from nearly 100 countries around the world.Otago has many distinctive features. The University of Otago is New Zealand’s most research-intensive university, and the highest ranked for the quality of its research. Otago academics have won the largest share of the prestigious Marsden Fund for five years in a row. In contrast to many other distinguished research universities, however, we also put a great emphasis on the quality of undergraduate teaching. Even first year students have the opportunity to be taught by academics who are world leaders in their field. 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.
