Not only is Otago University renowned for its historic significance, it is situated in the bustling and beautiful city of Dunedin, where cultural activities spill from storefronts and onto the streets of the city. Surrounded by some of the nation's most historic districts, the oldest university in Aotearoa is also skirted by a stunning coastal landscape of green hills and endless trails that lead to sandy beaches and massive cliffs overlooking the Pacific. When you take a medical job in New Zealand, make sure you visit this cultural landmark filled with history, culture and even wildlife that you can find right outside the campus lines.
Just a short stroll from Otago's central campus is downtown Dunedin, where boutiques, restaurants, cafes and bars make this spot a perfect place to relax after touring the historic university. The city tour does not end here, because just a few blocks further is Dunedin Harbour, where locals and visitors spend hours kayaking, fishing and windsurfing along the calm waters.
Because the college plays such an integral role in the city's development, the number of art galleries, museums and libraries in the area are a culture vulture's dream. During your medical assignment, you're likely to return to this bustling region multiple times in order to take advantage everything it has to offer.
