The Performance Based Research Fund is a New Zealand Tertiary education funding process assessing the research performance of tertiary education organisations (TEOs ^[2].

Founded in 1869 by a committee including Thomas Burns,^[3] the university opened in July 1871. Thomas Burns (ca 1796&ndash1871 was a prominent early European settler and religious leader of the province of Otago, New Zealand. Its motto is "Sapere aude" ("Dare to be wise"). (The University of New Zealand subsequently adopted the same motto. The University of New Zealand was the New Zealand University from 1870 to 1961. ) The University of Otago Students' Association answers this with its own motto, "Audeamus" ("let us dare").

Between 1874 and 1961 the University of Otago was a part of the University of New Zealand, and issued degrees in its name. The University of New Zealand was the New Zealand University from 1870 to 1961.

Faculties

Administratively, the university is divided into four divisions: Commerce, Health Sciences, Humanities, and Sciences. For external and marketing purposes, the Division of Commerce is known as the School of Business, as that is the term commonly used for its equivalent in North America. Historically, there were a number of Schools and Faculties, which have now been grouped with standalone departments to form these divisions.

In addition to the usual university disciplines, the Otago Medical School (founded 1875) is one of only two in New Zealand (with constituent branches in Christchurch and Wellington), and is the only university in the country to offer training in Dentistry. The Dunedin School of Medicine is one of three medical schools that make up the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Otago. New Zealand is an Island country in the south-western Pacific Ocean comprising two main landmasses (the North Island and the South Island The Christchurch School of Medicine and Health Sciences is one of three medical schools that make up the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Otago. The Wellington School of Medicine and Health Sciences is one of three medical schools that make up the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Otago. Other professional schools and faculties not found in all New Zealand universities include Pharmacy, Physical Education, Physiotherapy, Medical Laboratory Science, and Surveying. It was also home to the School of Mines, until this was transferred to the University of Auckland in 1987. The University of Auckland (Te Whare Wānanga o Tāmaki Makaurau is New Zealand 's largest University. Theology is also offered, traditionally in conjunction with the School of Ministry, Knox College, and Holy Cross, Mosgiel.

Campuses

In addition to the main Dunedin campus, the University has small facilities in Auckland and Wellington (based at Westpac Stadium). The Auckland metropolitan area or Greater Auckland, in the North Island of New Zealand, is the largest and most populous urban area in the country Westpac Stadium, previously known as WestpacTrust Stadium, is a major sporting venue in Wellington, New Zealand. ^[5] The medical schools have larger campuses near Christchurch and Wellington Hospitals. Additionally, the University has the Portobello Marine Laboratory on Otago Harbour.

Student Lifestyle

O-Week

Participants in the annual clocktower race lining up, ready to go.

'O-Week' or Orientation Week is the Otago equivalent of Fresher's Week. While the new students are sometimes referred to as 'freshers' the label of 'first years' is more common. O-week is organised by the Student's Association OUSA and involves competitions such as 'Fresher of the Year' whereby several students volunteer to carry out a series of tasks throughout the week before being voted to win. All tasks are related to the O-Week theme. The OUSA also organise events each night including various concerts, a comedy night, hypnotist plus busses to Carisbrook (at the other end of Dunedin) where the Highlanders usually schedule a game. Carisbrook is a major sporting venue in Dunedin, New Zealand. ^[6] Local bars organise events also with a range of live music and promotional deals including the Cookathon and a Miss O-Week competition hosted by The Outback. ^[7] The Cookathon is held by a local pub (the Cook) with the premise that your first drink costs you about $20 which gives you a t-shirt, three meal vouchers and reduced price on drinks then you spend the rest of the day binge drinking and telephoning the ocasional jug with mates. ^[6]

Traditions

Each year the first years are encouraged to attend the toga parade and party dressed in white sheets wrapped as togas. A clocktower race also occurs, in the style of Chariots of Fire. For the instrumental theme see Chariots of Fire (instrumental. Students must race round the tower and attached building, beginning on the first chime of the clock at noon and completing before the chimes cease. Unlike Chariots of Fire the task is possible with a couple of students completing each year. For the instrumental theme see Chariots of Fire (instrumental.

Residential Colleges

The vast majority of first year ("fresher") students at the University of Otago stay in one of the many Residential Colleges. A residential college is an organisational pattern for a division of a University that places academic activity in a Community setting of students and faculty usually These provide food, accommodation, social and welfare services. Some of the colleges have developed a strong institutional personality over the years. This becomes self-perpetuating as applicants choose the college most suited to their own personality.

Quiet, conservative St Margaret's College is next to the large, generic University College (Unicol) in the heart of the campus, which houses approximately 550 residents during the academic year. Saint Margaret's College Otago is a Hall of residence in Dunedin, New Zealand. University College ( UniCol) founded in 1969, is the largest residential hall at the University of Otago. It is the most central hall on the campus, situated beside the university's original buildings.

Aquinas College, being the smallest and perhaps farthest of the halls, has developed a more tight-knit community than many of the others. City College is influenced by two-thirds of its students coming from the Dunedin College of Education or the Otago Polytechnic, and Toroa International House is almost exclusively filled by international students. The University of Otago College of Education is a teacher-training facility in Dunedin, New Zealand, run as part of the University of Otago since 2007 The Otago Polytechnic is a public New Zealand tertiary education institute, centred in Dunedin with campuses throughout the region of Otago including International students are Students usually in early adulthood who study in foreign Educational institutions While most universities have official It provides accommodation that is welcoming and supportive yet allows residents to live, eat, study and socialise in an environment that meets their individual needs.

Residential Colleges affiliated with the University of Otago select students based on their marks, extracurricular activities and high school testimonials. However, some colleges are more selective than others. Although their order varies from year to year, the most selective colleges are consistently Knox College, Selwyn College and Carrington College. Knox College is a privately run residential college affiliated to the University of Otago in New Zealand, providing accommodation for primarily first and second Notable Selwynites Lord Porritt, Former Governor-General of New Zealand and physician to the Carrington College is a Residential College at the University of Otago in New Zealand. Arana College received the most placement request for 2007.

St Margaret's College has similar entry standards, but the reputation of the college as quiet, religious and hard-working tends to attract a self-selected small group of highly-qualified applicants. Saint Margaret's College Otago is a Hall of residence in Dunedin, New Zealand.

Otago's Residential Colleges are not as significant in the life of the University when compared with the Colleges and Halls of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The University of Oxford (informally "Oxford University" or simply "Oxford" located in the city of Oxford, Oxfordshire, England is the The University of Cambridge (often Cambridge University) located in Cambridge, England, is the second-oldest university in the Some halls seek to imitate Oxbridge colleges (occasional tutorials, "fellows", chapels etc) but students' primary affiliation is to the University rather than the hall, and the bulk of formal education does not take place within the college.
