It's not just our people – the experts in their fields and passionate students – but also the places we teach and learn: Otago Harbour, Fiordland, Stewart Island, Antarctica and the Pacific that mean our students leave here with highly sought-after skills and experiences.
Our community engagement
The Department also maintains important links with schools through two competitions: Problem Challenge and the Junior Mathematics Competition, run by Departmental staff, and by providing a comprehensive series of Statistics video presentations aimed at supporting the New Zealand Statistics curriculum.
