To be eligible for undergraduate study at the University of Otago, applicants must meet academic and English language requirements. Academically, you need a recognized qualification equivalent to New Zealand’s University Entrance, such as A-levels, IB, or an approved high school diploma.
For postgraduate programs, a relevant bachelor’s degree or equivalent is required, with specific grade criteria varying by course. English proficiency must be demonstrated through tests like IELTS (6.0+ for undergraduates, 6.5+ for postgraduates) or TOEFL. Some programs may have additional prerequisites, such as portfolios or interviews. International students must also obtain a valid student visa.
