Welcome

At Otago Polytechnic we believe that getting a great start in your career depends on having every opportunity both to understand and to participate while you're studying.

That's why we work hard to ensure that while theory is taught thoroughly and thoughtfully, you can take an active role in your education.

We call it 'applied learning', but you could also call it 'getting your hands dirty'.

What ever you choose to call it, it means that no matter what you study you will have the chance to get a real understanding of the industry; creating, discovering, testing and experiencing first-hand just what it will take to make your career goals a reality.

You may be starting out in study or getting back into it. Looking for a change of direction in your work or moving on up the career ladder.

There are flexible learning options for most Otago Polytechnic programmes, whether you’re starting out as an absolute beginner or building on your existing skills.

You can hold down a job, raise a family, live an active social life or even just take some time-out – there’s a learning option for every lifestyle.
