Why study at Otago?

OTAGO GRADUATES ARE SOUGHT AFTER

AND APPRECIATED

The University of Otago is New Zealand’s first university, established in Dunedin by early Scottish settlers who had a strong belief in the value of education. This commitment continues today – education is Dunedin’s main “industry”, and Dunedin is New Zealand’s only true university city. Of Dunedin’s population of 120,000, more than 20,000 are University of Otago students – and over 2,500 of them are international students.

These students come to Otago from all over the world to take advantage of the University’s worldwide reputation for excellence. Otago is at the forefront of modern scholarship and has a long-established tradition of innovation. It is for this reason Otago is able to attract first-rate academics, and our graduates are renowned for their independence and audacity of spirit, which makes them highly regarded by prospective employers.

Otago graduates are sought after

and appreciated, and many occupy influential

positions in industry, government and within their

communities across the world.

A national presenceThe University of Otago has a presence throughout New Zealand. Most undergraduate and postgraduate study takes place on the Dunedin campus, but the University is also represented in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch and Invercargill. The Schools of Medicine and Health Sciences in Wellington and Christchurch are home to many leading medical researchers, and a large number of Health Sciences postgraduate courses are taught from these campuses.

Dunedin campusThe Dunedin campus is located just a few blocks from the centre of the city and on the edge of the Dunedin Botanic Garden. It is a beautiful campus – the Water of Leith winds its way past the iconic stone Clocktower, the state-

of-the-art Centre for Innovation, the multi-award-winning Information Services Building and the many character villas that are home to much of Otago’s student population. Students benefit from Dunedin’s relatively inexpensive cost of living, and house prices and rentals are affordable, particularly compared to New Zealand’s northern cities. It is a safe city in which to live and it is easy to get out and about to take advantage of everything it has to offer – and the ski fields of Central Otago are only a few hours’ drive away.

More information about Dunedin can be found on page 34.

International commitmentMaking the decision to study at a university overseas is a bold one, but provides a valuable opportunity to learn about other cultures, gain maturity and develop the global perspective which is increasingly important for graduates today.

The University of Otago recognises this and is strongly committed to international education. It has collaborative teaching, research and exchange agreements with major institutions around the world (see page 38) and, in addition to the many services and facilities available to all students (see page 24), its International Office provides a range of specialist services for international students. An orientation programme is run at the start of each semester, and international student advisers and student mentors are available to help students make the adjustment to life at Otago and to provide on-going help and support.

Otago offers a rich cultural life, reflecting a diverse international student community and New Zealand’s own multicultural population. It also has a network of around 100,000 graduates living in more than 142 countries and has established alumni branches in many of the world’s major cities including London, Sydney, Melbourne and Kuala Lumpur.

The University of Otago is a foundation member of the Matariki Network of Universities (MNU), a select international group of outstanding universities, with each member amongst the oldest and foremost places of learning in its respective country. The MNU has been established to enable the universities to enhance diversity, to share ideas and expertise, and to learn international best practice from each other, recognising the shared commitment to an ethos of excellence in research, scholarship and rounded education. The other members of MNU are Dartmouth College (USA), Durham University (England), Queen’s University (Canada), Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen (Germany), The University of Western Australia and Uppsala Universitet (Sweden).

Research underpins all academicactivityatOtagoandtheUniversitycontinuestobuildonitslong-heldreputation for research excellence.

Research

The Government’s latest Performance-Based Research Fund (PBRF) quality assessment confirmed the University of Otago as the leading postgraduate research institution in New Zealand. Otago was the only university to be ranked in the top four in all average quality score (AQS) measures.

The PBRF ranked Otago first or second in 17 subject areas – including first in four of the 10 top-ranked subject areas: law, pharmacy, philosophy and pure and applied mathematics – and more than 55 per cent of Otago’s academic staff were identified as internationally or nationally distinguished.

4

Graduate researchThe PBRF evaluation confirmed Otago’s position as New Zealand’s leading postgraduate research university. Access to research-informed teaching and supervision by acknowledged leaders in their field is vital for postgraduate students: this ranking shows that Otago offers the best in the country.

Otago has the highest proportion of postgraduate research students of any university in New Zealand. Of the more than 4,500 postgraduate students currently enrolled, over 1,380 are doctoral candidates. The University provides a strong foundation for student research through scholarships (see page 10), as well as state-of-the-art library and computing facilities, and excellent supervision.

Otago PhD candidates are supported by the University to travel to leading international conferences to present their research findings.All thesis students receive support and mentorship from their supervisors, and the Dean and Manager of the Graduate Research School are both available for consultation by students should the need arise. The Dean also chairs the Graduate Research Student Liaison Committee, a representative group of research masters’ and PhD candidates acting as a forum for student issues.

SECOND SEMESTERSUMMER SCHOOL

Studying at Otago

Academic yearThe University academic year is divided into two semesters. The first semester runs from late February until the end of June; the second semester runs from early July until mid November. Postgraduate thesis-only students, however, can begin their studies at any time. A Summer School is also offered from early January to mid-February each year. This gives students the opportunity to study one or two papers for credit over a short teaching period and outside the standard semester timetable.

Programme informationThis prospectus contains only general information about programmes offered at Otago. For information specific to your field of interest, please view the University’s website:

otago.ac.nz/courses/qualifications

Credit transferThe University may grant credit (advanced standing) for study undertaken at another tertiary institution. Courses completed should be comparable in content and standard to those offered at Otago.

Study abroad and exchangeStudents enrolled at a university overseas can choose to study at Otago for one or two semesters. Credits from Otago courses are transferred back to a student’s home university. Please contact the International Office for a copy of the University’s Study Abroad and Exchange Guide or visit the University of Otago website:

PapersPapers are the building blocks of a degree and comprise a fixed course of work in particular aspects of a subject. Most take one semester to complete; however, some papers, particularly for Health Sciences degrees, run for the whole year. Introductory papers are at 100-level, increasing to 200-level and 300-level papers in subsequent semesters or years. 400-level papers are generally at the postgraduate level.

PointsEach paper passed is worth points – mostly 18 points – which students accumulate to achieve a degree. A three-year degree is usually made up of 360 points, with a certain number required at 200- and 300-levels to meet the requirements of a student’s major subject, and the overall programme.

Choosing a major subjectIt is not necessary to make this decision in the first year. A well-planned first year will allow flexibility of choice, but also cover any prerequisites there may be for the 200-level and 300-level papers later chosen. Some students may elect to take a double major programme, completing 300-level requirements in two subjects.

Prerequisites andcorequisitesMost papers beyond 100-level have prerequisites: specific papers that must be passed before enrolment in the new papers. Some papers also have corequisites. If the corequisite has not already been passed, it must be taken at the same time as the new paper.

TeachingLectures are the main method of presenting information at undergraduate level. Students also take part in laboratories and tutorials, and are expected to back up new knowledge with reading.

WorkloadA full-time course is generally between 54 and 72 points in a semester, or between 108 and 144 points in a year. As an approximate guide, students can expect to spend about 12 hours per week per one single semester paper (18 points). In general, very able students take 144 points in a year, while most take 126.

AssessmentMost papers have a two- or three-hour examination or “final” at the end of each semester (or at the end of the second semester for full-year papers) and many papers have shorter tests during the year. Written assignments, presentations and laboratory work also count towards the final grade. Continuous internal assessment is a feature of almost all Otago papers and assessment requirements will be made clear at the beginning of the semester.

Problems?Tutors and lecturers will discuss, within class or privately, any problems students may have understanding lectures or tutorials, completing assignments or preparing for examinations. The Student Learning Centre offers a number of services to help students improve study and learning skills.

Other optionsIn addition to three-year bachelors’ degrees, Otago also offers:

• Specialised degrees (including Dentistry, Law, Medical Laboratory Science, Medicine, Pharmacy, Physical Education, Physiotherapy and Surveying) which take more than three years to complete and have specific admission requirements

• Double degree programmes which involve cross crediting (sharing) papers between the two qualifications.

Doctor of PhilosophyThe degree is awarded on the basis of the submission of a thesis that gives evidence of the candidate’s ability to carry out research, and demonstrates that the candidate has shown originality and independence, and has made a significant contribution to knowledge in a particular field. The PhD degree can usually be completed in a minimum of three years’ full-time study.

Entrancerequirements

Admission usually requires the completion of a master’s degree, or a first-class or upper second-class honours degree in the same area of study, or a related discipline, as the intended area of research.

Admission

The PhD degree has its own admission process. Initial admission for the degree is provisional and is confirmed only after one year of satisfactory full-time study. Further information on admission requirements and the PhD regulations is available online.

Intake and deadline application

Applicants for research-only (thesis) programmes may commence study at any time of the year and may make application throughout the year. However, it is anticipated that most candidates will commence study at the beginning of either semester.

How to apply

Students should seek informal acceptance from a department and supervisor(s) before applying formally for PhD admission. As a potential research student, you need to be well-prepared, and show initiative and aptitude.

1 Identify the research interests of the relevant department(s) and individual staff members

You should browse relevant academic department or discipline area websites to get an understanding of the research focus at Otago and the research interests of staff. The University has created an expertise database to help you find an academic staff member(s) who shares the same research interests as you.

2 Develop a possible research topic that fits in with these interests (see otago.ac.nz/phd or department websites for guidance on putting together a proposal)

3 Approach a potential supervisor

• In order to be considered for the programme you need to contact an academic staff member(s)

directly with an introductory email. A general, introductory email to a potential supervisor that reveals no knowledge of the specific research areas of the staff member or department is not likely to be taken seriously.

• Attach a detailed research proposal that shows you are familiar with current literature surrounding your topic

• Attach an up-to-date curriculum vitae

• Provide an approximate start date

4 Submit your application online

Once you have received confirmation that the academic staff member is willing to supervise you go online to complete an application at otago.ac.nz. See page 47 for more information.

POSTGRADUATE STUDY OPTIONS

Masters’degreesMasters’ degrees vary in nature at Otago, but most allow for the development of individual research skills. Working from a strong background of study, candidates have the opportunity to contribute to existing specialist fields or to begin to develop new areas of research. Masters’ degrees are often research-only, but some can be a combination of research and coursework, or a mainly coursework programme.

A master’s degree is normally a full-time one-year programme for candidates with an honours degree or postgraduate diploma, or a two-year full-time programme for candidates with a standard bachelor’s degree. There are also several coursework masters’ programmes that are one to one-and-a-half years in length and allow entry after a standard bachelor’s degree. Such programmes are usually designed to take students from diverse academic backgrounds.

Entrancerequirements

Candidates with an honours degree or postgraduate diploma may apply for master’s study by thesis only. In some cases, candidates with a bachelor’s degree may apply for a coursework master’s degree or for master’s study by coursework and thesis.

A master’s degree is usually undertaken in the same area of study as the major subject pursued for a bachelor’s degree, postgraduate diploma or honours degree. However, some other masters’ programmes are available that require only that the candidate is a graduate and/or has appropriate work experience.

otago.ac.nz/masters

Honours degreesMost three-year bachelors’ degrees have postgraduate honours degrees allied to them (e.g. Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Arts with Honours). They involve further papers in the subject of the first degree and a research report or dissertation.

A postgraduate honours degree must normally be completed in one academic year of full-time study. It is possible to undertake honours degrees in more than one subject, or to take a combined honours degree (involving a blend of papers from two subjects).

Entrancerequirements

A postgraduate honours degree can be taken at any time after the completion of a bachelor’s degree. It is usually undertaken in the same area of study as the major subject pursued for a bachelor’s degree, or in a related discipline, and requires achievement at a high academic level.

Postgraduate diplomasA postgraduate diploma provides a specialist postgraduate qualification and a pathway to research study, extending the knowledge gained in a bachelor’s degree. It offers students structured courses and guidance, as well as the opportunity to undertake some independent research. Students are able to focus on a specific area of study while developing research skills.

A postgraduate diploma can usually be completed in one academic year of full-time study.

Entrancerequirements

A postgraduate diploma can be taken at any time after the completion of a bachelor’s degree. It is usually undertaken in the same area of study as the major subject pursued for a bachelor’s degree, or in a related discipline, and requires achievement at a satisfactory academic level.

PostgraduatecertificatesA postgraduate certificate is generally a six-month coursework qualification that recognises continuing professional development in the same area as the candidate’s original degree. It can usually be completed in one semester of full-time study, or the equivalent in part-time study.

Entrancerequirements

A postgraduate certificate can be taken at any time after the completion of a bachelor’s degree. It is usually undertaken in the same area of study as the major subject pursued for a bachelor’s degree or in a related discipline.

Diploma for GraduatesThe Diploma for Graduates is a one-year qualification open to graduates. Unlike a postgraduate diploma, which involves 400-level papers, the Diploma for Graduates typically

involves undergraduate papers (that is, papers at 100-, 200- and 300-level). The Diploma for Graduates comes in two forms. In its flexible form, the diploma is intended for graduates who wish to broaden their undergraduate background, and any combination of subjects that constitutes an academically feasible and justifiable programme of study is permitted, provided that the chosen combination includes enough points at 300-level. The endorsed form of the Diploma for Graduates identifies a subject of specialisation, and requires that papers be concentrated in that subject. Since the endorsed Diploma for Graduates is approximately equivalent to a new major subject, it is often used as a bridge to postgraduate study.

Entrancerequirements

Candidates with a bachelor’s degree or extensive training and experience in an appropriate field may apply.

DISTANCE LEARNINGThe University teaches some courses by distance learning, allowing people located elsewhere to study. This is particularly convenient for working students who are already trying to balance home life and a full-time job with their study. Many distance-taught courses are available only within New Zealand, but some are available in Australia and beyond. Distance options are denoted by “DT” in the tables included on pages 52-71.

Please note that Immigration New Zealand will not normally grant a student visa for study in New Zealand where the intended programme of study is wholly delivered by distance mode and students are not required to attend classes on a regular basis at an Otago campus or designated centre.

TEACHING AND ASSESSMENTThe number of lectures and amount of academic contact time will depend on the course. Postgraduate study is more intensive than undergraduate study and requires more independent research. Assessment can be by thesis, examination and/or internal assessment, depending on the specific course being studied.

If you are applying for a residential college and you are at school or left within the last two years, the “Confidential Reference Form” needs to be completed by your school and returned to the Student Accommodation Centre. This form is available on the Accommodation website.

It will be important to book temporary accommodation for when you first arrive.

The Student Accommodation Centre provides a list of options including backpackers, bed and breakfasts, and motels that are close to the University.

Comparable in physical size to Japan or Great Britain, New Zealand has a population of over four million people, making it one of the least crowded countries in the world. It is a land of great natural beauty, and it is also one of the world’s most exciting adventure playgrounds.

New Zealand / Aotearoa was originally settled by Mäori about 1,000 years ago, followed by waves of European immigration during the past two centuries. Today the country maintains a diverse and dynamic multicultural emphasis, enhanced by the growing number of people from the Pacific Islands and Asia who have also made New Zealand their home in recent years.

New Zealanders are friendly people who, in spite of (or perhaps because of) the country’s geographical location and relatively small

population, have earned a reputation for being both enterprising and innovative. They welcome international visitors and have a wide range of interests, from the arts to outdoor and sporting pursuits. New Zealanders love their sport and are good at it. Swimming, walking, biking, hiking, boating and fishing are all easily accessible, as are many sporting codes such as rugby, soccer, tennis, netball, basketball, golf, squash and hockey. Those who are more adventurous enjoy surfing, white-water rafting, jet boating and bungy jumping, while in the winter months the country’s many ski fields attract skiers and snowboarders from across New Zealand and from afar.

The New Zealand economy is broadly-based. It is a major exporter of primary products, while manufacturing, information technology,

biological and medical research, education and tourism also play vital economic roles. There is a growing focus on ecotourism ventures, the wine industry, fashion design and a flourishing film industry that is gaining wide international recognition. The New Zealand dollar is a stable currency offering visitors a favourable exchange rate. All goods and services are subject to a 15 per cent goods and services tax (included in the display price) and all major credit cards can be used.

Although relatively small in size, it boasts many natural attractions as well as the facilities usually offered only by much larger cities.

Settled by the Scottish in 1848, Dunedin grew rapidly with the discovery of gold in the Otago hinterland and became, for a while, the commercial centre of New Zealand. During this time, many of New Zealand’s most beautiful buildings were constructed and, with the establishment of the University of Otago in 1869, the foundations were laid for a strong tradition in education.

The central city streets are lined with restaurants, bars and cafes. Modern shopping malls trade alongside boutiques, galleries, and weekly craft and farmers’ markets. The fashion industry is particularly vibrant with several of New Zealand’s leading designers based in the city.

Dunedin is also home to New Zealand’s newest, largest and most versatile arena – the Forsyth Barr Stadium at University Plaza. An architectural icon for the city, the stadium hosts major sporting events, concerts, festivals and more.

Temperatures range from an average 14 – 24 degrees Celsius in the summer (December – February) and from 5 – 13 degrees Celsius in the winter (June – August), so outdoor activities can be enjoyed year-round. There are more than

150 walking tracks in the Dunedin environs, four championship golf courses and many other sporting facilities which are all easily accessible. The long natural harbour is favoured for watersports and St Clair beach is considered one of New Zealand’s best for surfing.

Dunedin is encircled by a “Town Belt” of native bush and trees and its coastline is home to colonies of yellow-eyed penguins, New Zealand fur seals and the world’s only mainland breeding colony of the Royal albatross. Just a few hours’ drive out of the city are some of New Zealand’s most spectacular natural attractions – rugged mountains, deep fiords, clear blue lakes – including the internationally-known resort towns of Queenstown and Wanaka, famed for their ski fields and burgeoning wine industry.

2017internationaltuitionfeesInternational tuition fees are detailed on the course information pages of this prospectus. The notes below provide further explanatory information on how tuition fees are charged and important policies associated with these fees.

1 All fees are inclusive of GST (New Zealand Goods and Services Tax).

2 Tuition fees do not include the student services fee.

3 Tuition fees do not include any of the University’s administrative charges.

2017 administrative fees will be set in late 2016; please see otago.ac.nz/study/fees

4 The tuition fees detailed on pages 52-71 provide an estimate of costs for 2017. The tuition fees listed may not represent the actual cost of a programme of study. Generally, a student’s total tuition is made up of the collective fees for each paper for which the student is enrolled. The subject category fee (as listed in this schedule) and the EFTS (funding equation) value will determine the fee of any paper. The actual programme fee will be affected by:

• the enrolment for more or less than 1 EFT (a normal full-time course)

• the inclusion of papers from different subject areas (which are at different fee rates)

• the sequencing of enrolment in papers within the course

• a change to the structure of the course and the availability of papers.

5 Tuition fees are assessed each year. The fee categories are applicable only to the calendar year (January-December) in which the course is commenced. If a course of study extends for one or more semesters in a subsequent calendar year(s), the students will be required to pay the tuition fee applicable for that calendar year(s). Annual fee increases (or decreases) are expected to be modest. Under current circumstances this would be in the order of up to 5% per annum.

6 An orientation programme will be held before enrolment. There will be no extra charge for participation in this programme.

7 Costs for some course materials, field trips and thesis publication are not included in the quoted fees.

8 The following students are normally eligible to enrol at the University of Otago under the same conditions as New Zealand students and at the same level of fees:

• Australian citizens and permanent residents of Australia residing and studying in New Zealand for the duration of their courses of study

• Citizens of the Cook Islands, Niue and Tokelau who are New Zealand citizens.

Australian citizens and permanent residents of Australia residing and studying outside New Zealand are required to pay full-cost international fees.

9 Students who have been granted study awards or scholarships by Rotary International, Commonwealth Scholarship Scheme, Fulbright Awards, or DAAD pay equivalent New Zealand fees only.

10 Most PhD students enrolling at a New Zealand university are eligible to pay tuition fees at the New Zealand domestic level. International PhD students must be resident in New Zealand during their studies, apart from approved temporary absences overseas for the purposes of PhD research, to be classified as domestic students. As a guide, the table on page 8 provides 2017 domestic tuition rates.

11 Postgraduate fees for 2017 reflect a level of subsidy from the University in recognition of the valuable contribution that is made by postgraduate students to University research.

StudentservicesfeeThe University of Otago is required by Government regulation to ensure a range of services are available to students and these are funded through the charging of the Student Services Fee.

In 2016, the Student Services Fee (GST inclusive) for Dunedin on-campus students is $732.00.

Students whose course is delivered at the University of Otago (Wellington and Christchurch campuses) are charged a Student Services Fee of $180.80. Southland campus students are charged $129.85. Distance students are not charged a Student Services Fee as there is no access to services for these students.

Feesrefundandfee protection policyPlease note that policies and deadlines are subject to change. Up-to-date policies are available from the University’s website.
