Otago Polytechnic operates on a semester system, with two main intakes annually. The first semester typically begins in late February, with applications due by December 1 of the preceding year. The second semester starts in mid-July, with a May 1 application deadline. Some programs may have additional or alternative deadlines, particularly competitive courses.
Prospective students are advised to apply early, as late applications are considered only if spaces remain. Specific deadlines and requirements can vary by program, so checking the official Otago Polytechnic website or contacting their admissions office is recommended for accurate, up-to-date information.
