Otago Polytechnic -The Way to Learn!

Welcome to the Otago Polytechnic - for those who want a better life through education!

At Otago Polytechnic we're here to help shape your dreams into a reality. No matter what current qualifications and skills you have, we have programmes and pathways designed to lead you to the career you want.

Real career direction - from Viticulture to Sports Performance, Massage Therapy to Civil Engineering, if you know what you want to be, chances are we've got the programme for you. If you're less sure of where you're going, don't worry, we can take you in directions you never even thought of. And our advisory team can help you decide on what's right for you.

Employment focus - all our programmes lead to specific career paths. And with over 400 employers and industry representatives serving on our advisory panel, we make sure that what we are teaching is exactly what you need to know to get into your chosen industry. It works too - employment rates for our graduates are excellent, and in some areas there are more jobs than graduates to fill them!

Teaching style - programmes are taught via a mix of theory and practice, so you get the best of both worlds - skills that are immediately usable in the world of work, plus the understanding to be able to adapt to new technologies and practices. We also have small classes, which mean more opportunities for teacher contact and individualised learning. And work-experience components in most courses give you a chance to practice what you have learnt, in the real world. Plus they can provide a foot-in-the-door for future employment!
