Otago Campuses and Key Contacts

*The University of Otago is a national university with a physical presence throughout New Zealand. Distance learning programmes can emanate from any of our centres.

When you are in the vicinity of a University of Otago campus, feel free to call in and meet staff involved with your course and, where appropriate, to access the teaching and library facilities and support services.

Although many of you may never visit the Dunedin campus, you will have contact with several Dunedin-based staff who provide essential services for all distance learning students.
