The University of Otago Schools' Liaison Office co-ordinates guided tours of the Dunedin campus for prospective students and their families. Our campus tours are hosted by student tour guides, who will take you on a visit around our beautiful campus, highlighting important areas like Mellor Labs, the Central Library, and our broad range of student support services. They will also take you into two residential colleges, St Margaret's College and University College/"UniCol", so you will get a good understanding of accommodation options.
Bookings are at set times on weekdays, either 10:30am or 1pm, and are around 90 minutes long, but can take a little longer. You will need to book at least a week in advance to avoid missing out.
Note that while our regular campus tours are designed for prospective undergraduate students from New Zealand high schools, we also welcome visiting international students considering undergraduate studies to join these tours.
Prospective international students of any study level (pathway, undergraduate, and postgraduate) are encouraged to connect with the international recruitment team for personalised advice regarding study options and country-specific information by emailing: international-connect@otago.ac.nz
School group tours are also available and are coordinated by the Schools' Liaison Office. Advance bookings are essential. For enquiries, schools can contact the Schools' Liaison Administrator at: liaison@otago.ac.nz
