Working with our community

The School of Design is proud of the relationships it grows year on year with businesses and organisations in Dunedin and beyond. Our students regularly benefit from these relationships and allows them to form contacts within industry, while at the same time earning credits towards their degrees.


Projects vary from support at iD Dunedin Fashion Week, to producing products for sale through the Port Chalmers Design Store. No matter your discipline, the School of Design at Otago Polytechnic offers opportunities to work with 'real' clients, creating design-based solutions and services.
