International Students
International students at the Dunedin School of Art at Otago Polytechnic
Art is an international language understood by people who immerse themselves in the making of art and in responding to art. At the Dunedin School of Art at Otago Polytechnic in New Zealand we welcome international students for the diversity and quality of their cultural histories, for the range of arts-based work they contribute to our community of artists and writers. Each international student enriches our lives and enables us to better understand another culture. In a gesture of reciprocity, we aim to make each and every international student feel welcome and supported within our school community.
