WELCOME TO THEDUNEDIN TERTIARY OPEN DAY

The purpose of the Dunedin Tertiary Open Day programme is to enable you to observe first-hand what the tertiary environment is like. You are invited to visit special displays and presentations and explore the various facilities students use (e.g. The University Union, University of Otago Student Centres, Unipol Recreation Centre, Recreation Services, OUSA Clubs and Societies Centre, the libraries and Polytechnic).

Love is in the Air by Polish artist Natalia Rak, courtesy ofDunedin Street Art.

Dunedin is New Zealand’s student capital and one of the country’s best centres of learning. It’s home to 25,000 students – approximately 20% of the city’s population.A lively and vibrant city, Dunedin has something for everyone. There’s great shopping, awesome gigs, heritage architecture, theatres, art galleries and museums, along with plenty of cafés, bars and restaurants. Dunedin regularly hosts national and international sporting and music events. And, if you want to escape city living for the day, it’s surrounded by spectacular scenery and sandy beaches, and is home to some of the world’s rarest wildlife.The University of Otago and the Otago Polytechnic sit alongside one another, making for a greater campus area, just minutes’ walk from the city centre. You are likely to live within walking distance of your classrooms, libraries and gyms, and your neighbours are probably students too, so it’s easy to make friends. Dunedin Tertiary Open Day gives you the chance to explore these campuses and experience first-hand what the tertiary environment is like.

Venue capacitiesHealth and Safety considerationsEvery room on the University of Otago campus has a maximum capacity, to allow for the safe entry and exit of people from the room in the event of an emergency. Fire evacuation regulations dictate that at no time is the University to breach these, as this places the safety of our students, staff and guests at risk.

For this reason, Health and Safety Officers will be monitoring guest entry to ensure that venues do not exceed capacity. We apologise in advance if you are unable to gain access to a session for this reason. In the event that you are not able to gain access to a session, please contact us to request any information that may have been missed and we will make our best attempts to provide this for you.

Anatomy (Bachelor of Science)How we begin life and how we develop; how we move and how we function; how we remember and how we forget; and how human populations have adapted and developed.

Within our Department, there are four key subject areas that explore different aspects of Anatomy through teaching and research:

• Biological Anthropology studies human populations from the past to understand human origins, adaptation, health, growth and development.

• Clinical Anatomy examines structures within the body to better understand the anatomy of healthy individuals and factors that contribute to disease or dysfunction within these structures.

GeographyGeographers study planet Earth. They study the physical processes that shape the surface of the earth, the social and cultural patterns and activities of people, and the impact of people on the planet. Geography comprises a collection of physical and social sciences – cultural geography, geomorphology, urban geography, climatology, health geography and hydrology (to name just a few).

Geographers interpret our world through these sciences, but also make connections between physical and human processes to help understand our planet and our impact on it. Understanding these connections is critical to addressing pressing environmental problems that shape our world, from local to global problems. Geographers seek not only to study our planet but to find solutions to these problems and shape its future.Time: All day Presentation:Venue: The LINK, Time: 2.00pm – 2.50pm ISB Building Venue: Castle 1 Lecture Theatre,Map ref: F4.58 Castle Lecture Theatre Complex Map ref: F5.57
