University Of Otago Language Centre

Welcome to the Language Centre and welcome to Dunedin, New Zealand’s city of education. Together we will work to take you further along your path to future success.



We are a member of English New Zealand and I am proud of the quality programmes we run and believe we have some of the best language teachers in the country. Not only will your English improve here, but you have the opportunity to discover the New Zealand lifestyle, meet people from all around the world and learn about their cultures, and enjoy the experience of living and studying in another country – memories that will last your lifetime.

Good luck for your time here! – Paul Baker, Language Centre Academic Manager
