Open Days & Events
Through open days and taster events, we welcome you, your friends, whānau and our community onto our campus.



Dunedin Tertiary Open Days
Held every year, Dunedin hosts a Tertiary Open Day, which is a collaborative event between us and the University of Otago. It’s a great chance to explore our Dunedin campus and see first-hand the fantastic range of study options we have available.
You'll find people to show you around, answer your questions and have the chance to interact with different study areas - giving you a taste of life at Otago Polytechnic.

Taster Days at OP
Enjoy bite-sized samples of our programmes to experience what we have on offer.
Have you ever wondered what an accountant does all day? Think you might like to give carpentry a try?
Come have a go!
Our Taster Days are bite-sized samples of our programmes. You’ll get firsthand experience of what it’s like to study with us. You’ll meet some of our lecturers, have an opportunity to ask questions, and even get hands-on with activities.
Different programmes offer Taster Days throughout the year, so check back often. Some are short sessions of an hour or two, others are a half or full-day experience. You can sample as many Taster Days as you like.
