The University of Otago has two main intakes annually: Semester 1 (February) and Semester 2 (July). Application deadlines vary by program and student origin. Domestic students typically apply by December 10 for Semester 1 and May 10 for Semester 2. International students should apply earlier, usually by October 31 for February intake and April 30 for July intake.
Some programs, like Medicine or Dentistry, have stricter deadlines. Postgraduate and PhD applications may have rolling admissions. Always check the university’s official website or contact admissions for program-specific deadlines, as dates can change. Late applications may be considered if spaces remain.
