Summer School 2010
Welcome to Otago Summer School 2010
Otago Summer School provides an intimate learning experience, supplemented by the full resources of New Zealand's oldest and leading university.
With tuition provided at Dunedin, Auckland and Wellington campuses, as well as by distance learning, there is quality education available for all.
Many of the papers are unique to Otago Summer School, while other papers are essential components of degree programmes. All papers have full academic credit and are of the same points value as regular semester papers, but are taught in six weeks instead of the 13 weeks of a regular semester. This concentrates the mind, and is particularly beneficial for studying.
Is it hard? Yes, universities are elite educational institutions, but with perseverance and application many people can achieve quite extraordinary results. For example, in recent Summer Schools a sixteen year-old has achieved an A+ and students in their ninth decade have frequently outperformed their younger classmates. It's over to you.
