Welcome to our Interns

Dunedin is building on its reputation as being a global centre for education, welcoming interns from Europe.

The students are from several universities in Europe, and will spend 12-15 weeks gaining work and life experience in New Zealand.

13 students will be in Dunedin, and two in Queenstown.

6 of these students will be at Otago Polytechnic, working in areas such as:

• Marketing research
• Veterinary Nursing (looking at the global potential of the Otago Polytechnic programme)
• Marketing for the School of Design (Fashion)
• IT – working on a new Smart-phone project

Other students will be learning/gaining work experience at other organisations around Dunedin, including The Otago Museum and Dunedin Chamber of Commerce.

Marc Doesberg, Director of Internationalisation says the interns will offer Otago Polytechnic an international perspective on our practices.  "They offer an opportunity to look through another culture’s framework at how we operate.  Otago Polytechnic will be learning from them, as much as they will learn from us."
