"Studying at Otago has been an enriching experience, providing me with opportunities to grow both as a researcher and an individual.

For instance, The School of Biomedical Sciences hosts a symposium each year in which we get to know the broad array of research conducted within our school, which is fascinating as we can reach out to the researcher and collaborate in the future. The University of Otago is [also] very supportive of new initiatives and provides us with the liberty and resources to realise anything that our minds come up with."
