Eligibility criteria
Undergraduate requirements
International Baccalaureate: IB Diploma with a minimum of 24 points.
Entrance requirements for postgraduate study vary by programme with most requiring a minimum bachelor-level qualification in the same field, and some having additional requirements such as relevant work experience and/or professional registration in New Zealand.
To help students achieve their goal of studying at Otago, the University of Otago Language Centre and Foundation Year (UOLCFY) offers a pathway for students to meet the entrance requirements. It also provides a excellent preparation for academic study at the University of Otago.
Accommodation
Otago’s Residential College community offers a supportive and collegial living experience, while living in a shared University-managed flat will enable you to develop the valuable life skills of responsibility and independence, whilst still receiving support in a collegiate based community.
University-owned (Dunedin only)
University-owned accommodation provides a safe and supportive environment, with academic support and cultural, sporting and social opportunities, conveniently located so residents can easily access the nearby campus and surrounding city.
Residential Colleges
Most school-leaver, first year students will stay in a University Residential College which is on- or near-campus dormitory-style accommodation. While postgraduate students are welcome to apply for any Residential College, Abbey College is Otago’s dedicated postgraduate college.
University Flats/Uni Flats
Uni Flats offers a shared flatting situation where a local host student lives with several international students. Uni Flats are the recommended option for Study Abroad and Exchange students.
Private
Shared flatting
Several people (usually between 3 and 7) live in a house together sharing kitchen, bathroom, laundry and living areas, along with each having their own separate bedroom. Living in a flat is the quintessential Otago experience, allowing students to manage their own living arrangements, and helping them to develop the independence for which Otago graduates are renowned.
Studio room
Many students choose to live in a studio room, where they have their own room and bathroom (possibly some basic kitchen facilities), and a shared kitchen, living room and other common areas used by all tenants.
Homestays
Some students live with a local family in their home, in homestay accommodation. Students are provided with their own bedroom and most meals, and the chance to build a relationship with a local family. Homestay accommodation is typically further from campus.
University of Otago Language Centre and Foundation Year manage homestays.
