Recreation and Relaxation

The Otago MBA experience includes exploring our wonderful natural environment. Dunedin is the perfect place in which to live and study. Students often take advantage of the city’s proximity to some of the best natural environments New Zealand has to offer. These include the world heritage site of Milford Sound, the Queenstown lakes and ski-fields, and the pristine coastal landscape that surrounds Dunedin city.

The Historic Staff Club

There are countless cafes and food outlets on campus. However, the Staff Club, which is more than 100 years old, is a popular site for MBA students to sit back and enjoy a fine meal or something to drink. Located in the middle of campus, it is also a common location for MBA events throughout the year.
