WHY STUDY IN CITY?
Although a relatively small city, Dunedin boasts many natural attractions, as well as facilities usually available only in much larger cities. Dunedin is a gateway to central Otago and Fiordland, which offer New Zealand’s most spectacular natural attractions and great opportunities for hiking, water sports, and adventure tourism. The region is also home to Queenstown and Wanaka, the best ski and snowboarding resorts in the Southern Hemisphere.

ABOUT THE PROGRAM
Located near the country’s southern tip, Dunedin is a classic university town—one in five residents are college students. Heritage architecture (like the iconic railway station), natural beauty, and protected wildlife (hello, yellow-eye penguin) are plentiful.  

New Zealand’s oldest university is a top-ranked research institution with quality academics—professors regularly win awards for teaching excellence. Share a house with a Kiwi host and take advantage of amazing possibilities for outdoor adventure.  

Day outings and overnights get you out and about, learning the Maori concept of kaitiaki (taking care of the Earth) and exploring dramatic oceanside cliffs, rugged mountains, and unique creatures and plants.
