Applying to the University of Otago for 2027
Thinking about studying at Otago in 2027? Applications for most undergraduate programmes are now open.
If you’re in Year 13 and planning your next steps, we’ve put together a step-by-step guide to help you through the application process.
Step 1: Choose what you want to study
A bachelor’s degree is the qualification you’ll work towards at university. Within your degree, you’ll choose a subject to specialise in, known as your major.

Some subjects can be studied as part of more than one degree or qualification, so take some time to explore your options. If you’re unsure which pathway is right for you, talk to your Schools’ Liaison Officer.
Step 2: Start your application
Once you’ve chosen a subject from the list, you’ll be taken to a detailed subject page. From here, select the qualification you would like to study (e.g. BCom), then select Apply now.
This will take you to eVision, Otago’s online application portal. Follow the instructions to create an account and complete your application.
