International Partnerships

Our relationships with international institutions range from informal friendships to formalised exchange and study abroad agreements, supporting our community and enriching the experiences of our staff and students.

Connect globally

International partnerships are at the heart of Otago Polytechnic’s philosophy for learning and growth. We are also proud to be in partnership with the Institute of International Education, which gives students the opportunity to join Generation Study Abroad.
