Student exchanges for Tourism students
The University of Otago has a number of exchange agreements with over seventy institutions, in over thirty countries.
It is a great opportunity for Tourism undergraduates to broaden their understanding of different cultures and to gain an international perspective. You could get the chance to spend an internship at Disney World in Orlando, Florida; or take part in the Otago Business School Internship programme.
The Department of Tourism encourages our students to participate in one of the more than forty specific business and tourism exchanges available through the University of Otago. If your marks average B or better, you may qualify to attend one of these institutions for one semester or for a year. You pay only your Otago fees and complete your qualification within the same timeframe as if you'd never been away!
