About the University of Otago and Scholarship
The University of Otago is a public research collegiate university with its headquarters in Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand (Mori: Te Whare Wnanga o tkou). Otago University, one of the oldest in Oceania and the oldest in New Zealand was established in 1869.
The institution was founded by a Thomas Burns-led committee and given formal status by an Otago Provincial Council ordinance in 1869. The University of Otago was a division of the federal University of New Zealand from 1874 to 1961, and it conferred degrees under that name.
Otago is renowned for its active student community, notably for its flatting, which is frequently done in historic homes. There is a long-standing custom among Otago students to give their apartments names. The term “Scarfie” for students at Otago University refers to their custom of covering their faces with scarves in the bitterly cold southern winters. The graduation anthem of the university, Gaudeamus igitur, iuvenes dum sumus (“Let us rejoice, while we are young”), recognizes that students will continue to rise to the challenge, albeit not always in the way intended. Critic, the student publication of the institution, has been published for the longest period of time in New Zealand.
The University of Otago continuously holds a spot among the top 1% of universities worldwide. In the QS World University Rankings, QS Stars gave the university a rating of 5 stars Plus. The quality of Otago’s facilities, teaching, graduate employability, internationalization, and inclusion are all taken into account when determining the maximum grade that may be given under the QS Stars System.
The University of Otago Coursework Master’s Scholarship grants money to help the University coursework-based Master’s students who are not enrolled in the Master of Business Administration.
