The University of Otago was established in Dunedin in 1869, making it New Zealand's oldest university. With a focus on the traditional arts and sciences and approximately 22,000 students, the university offers a wide range of courses and student services – from 24-hour computer laboratories to recreational facilities – and more than 100 student clubs and societies. The campus setting is much like large universities in North America while still being close to town and providing an unbeatable location from which to explore New Zealand's South Island. Queenstown and the Southern Alps are only a few hours away, and the wildlife and beautiful landscapes of the nearby Otago Peninsula and surrounding region are easily accessible.
Program Highlights
Study at New Zealand's oldest university for a semester or academic year while living in Dunedin, the ultimate college town.
Take advantage of the University of Otago's wide range of courses, student services, and clubs as you live like a local with other students in apartments and houses just minutes away from campus.
Explore all that the South Island has to offer with a variety of outdoor activities, such as hiking in the nearby hills, catching a wave, or simply sunbathing on the beach.
Start your semester in Queenstown, the 'adventure capital of the world', for your included Orientation Excursion and meet TEAN's in-country Resident Director and Dunedin-based Resident Advisor.

A time like no other!
by: Sarah Hardin - United StatesProgram: TEAN - New Zealand - University of Otago, DunedinGoing overseas to study in New Zealand was probably one of the best decisions of my life. Not only did I get to meet people from all over the world, but I was allowed to expand my worldview and learn what life looks like outside of the United States. I have so many incredible memories from this journey that pushed me out of my comfort zone and forced me to adapt to new surroundings - I wouldn't change anything about my time abroad! Anyone on the fence about studying abroad should choose not just...
go to new zealand!
by: Nicki Hagen - United StatesProgram: TEAN - New Zealand - University of Otago, DunedinI took 3 classes ("papers") which were great - I recommend Māori 108 ! The uniflats office paired me with great housemates that I got along with and I really liked my house/ location (I thought mine was one of the best) and loved having a kiwi host. TEAN organizes your living through uniflats so you don't have to worry about too many housing logistics before arrival. Dee (program staff in Dunedin) is very kind and helpful! Dunedin provides great access to south island adventures and beautiful sc...
Unforgettable moment studying abroad
by: AeWa Shee - United StatesProgram: TEAN - New Zealand - University of Otago, DunedinThinking about my experience studying abroad, I would say that this has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I got to explore the beauty of New Zealand, learn new things and also meet new friends along the way. The landscape is breathtaking, and weekend trips were one of my favorite memories during my time studying abroad. Most memorable one was when I went to Lake Tekapo and camp at Wanaka. In Lake Tekapo, my friends and I went hiking, swim at a hot spring, and watched the skies fil...

I always had a wandering mind that’s taken me on different paths in life. As a filmmaker and photographer who loved being in the outdoors, I couldn't say no to the opportunity of six months in New Zealand! So during the Spring semester of junior year, it had dawned on me that I’ve never traveled out of the country. Luckily, with the study abroad fair around the corner and nothing to lose for my senior year, my love for hiking drove me towards the mountains of New Zealand where I continued to wonder.
