It is important to remember that it will be winter in Dunedin during the course period, and weather can be very cold with ice and snow possible. The areas around the CBD/Dunedin School and Medicine/Dunedin Hospital generally tend to be on the flat – venturing into the hill suburbs means an uphill journey.

NOTE: Graduation Ceremonies, conferences, rugby games, international pop/rock concerts have an impact on accommodation availability in Dunedin.

Dunedin Airport Transfers

The Dunedin International/Domestic Airport is located 30km south of Dunedin and takes approximately 25-30 minutes by car. Taxis and shuttles (airport and private registered vehicles) are available, but it is advised that candidates pre-book shuttle services online.

Internet Access at Accommodation Venues

Applicants should be aware that not all places of accommodation have free or unlimited access to the Internet. If bringing laptops, candidates can purchase a monthly internet package from a New Zealand Internet Server Provider for about $NZ40 per month. Even though unlimited access and use can be gained via a ‘free phone number’, hotels and motels will charge over this and charges can be up to $NZ60 per day. Some establishments provide wireless internet connection (about $NZ5 per day).

University Wireless Network

Those attending the Course are provided with Internet access via the University Computer Laboratories and other selected areas around Campus. Those on the Course are issued with a University network username and password. Candidates will be contacted nearer course commencement by text for confirmation of details for security purposes. Candidates with overseas numbers may have to wait till arrival in Dunedin to have this set up, as many candidates tend to change over to a ‘local SIM card’.
