UO campus
The city campus of UO provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Dunedin has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. The educational institution has its own library. Here, students do their homework or just have a good time reading an interesting book. UO regularly accepts students for international exchange programs, providing both local and international students with the opportunity to come into contact with different cultures and gain unique experience.
New Zealand allows university graduates to stay in the country from 1 to 3 years. To do this, you need to apply for a graduate visa, which allows you to work even without a formal offer from an employer. Graduates of UO are in demand in the labor market, as the reputation of the educational institution among employers is quite high according to the results of the QS world ranking.
