Otago Polytechnic
We are proud to be a leader in high-quality, career-focused tertiary education. With local campuses in Dunedin and Central Otago, and an international campus in Auckland, our students learn the skills they need for a career they'll love.聽
Our learners are at the heart of everything we do. We consistently rank high in student achievement and satisfaction results in Australasia and employers love our graduates because they are work-ready, capable and confident.
Teachers here are innovative, expert and passionate. Many join us from industry with extensive skill sets and connections. With online tools, blended delivery options and pathways from foundation through to postgraduate; time, distance and previous learning are no barriers to gaining the education you want.
Collaborations are at the centre of our philosophy for learning and growth, and our commitment to sustainability plays a major role in everything we do, influencing both day-to-day operation and our future decision-making. Learning is extended into the field of applied research, contributing to professional and community networks nationally and internationally.
We are a values-led organisation, priding ourselves on being a great place to study and work. With almost 800 employees, boasting a talented pool of academic, teaching and professional staff. We are very proud of the work we do and our extended 鈥極P鈥� wh?nau.
We offer hands-on learning, where our students learn by doing. They learn the skills then they practice them, often in a real-life environment, either on a work placement, an internship, or in one of our purpose-built facilities to deliver goods and services to paying customers (at a great price, of course).
Additionally to our student-led services, we have professional services, that sit outside education and support, available to staff and students. And often to the general public too!

Campus Information
Dunedin Campus
This is the main Otago Polytechnic campus. We're just ten minutes' walk from the city centre, with its great shopping and superb caf茅s, restaurants, museums and galleries. We're right near the harbour, mountain bike tracks, sports facilities, the cricket oval and Forsyth Barr Stadium, and a short drive away from excellent surf beaches, and outlying suburbs that have their own cool village vibe.
Central Otago Campus
Our Central Otago campus is in Cromwell, a growing town surrounded by rugged landscapes, lakes, vineyards and orchards. The programmes we offer are tailor-made for the location, giving you study options such as snowsports, outdoor adventure, apiculture, horticulture, cookery with a regional focus, and stonemasonry using the schist that this region is built on. We even have a state-of-the-art teaching brewery if you fancy yourself as a craft brewer.
Auckland International Campus
Auckland is New Zealand's largest city and centre of business and industry 鈥� and our International Campus is right in the heart of it. Located on Queen Street in the central business and shopping district, the campus is perfectly placed for you to experience the excitement of the city. But when it comes to study, the campus is a perfect haven for learning, studying or relaxing with your fellow students. Unlike our Dunedin and Cromwell campuses, the Auckland campus is exclusively for international students. Our students come from all over the world to study programmes in English language, business, information technology and construction.
