A career as a health or community practitioner is extremely rewarding. If you enjoy caring for others, have great interpersonal skills and are motivated to study and be challenged, then Otago Polytechnic’s School of Health and Community may have the opportunity you’ve been looking for.

We have qualifications suitable for those starting out in the healthcare industry, and for those looking to further their professional development at postgraduate level. Our highly regarded programmes combine hands on practice with theoretical work, and increasingly include flexible options for students who live outside of Otago.
