Dunedin, South Island You can stay for 3-6 weeks. Months are usually anytime between June-September as this is when our students are still in town. There is not much point coming in December-February as it is our summer holiday period and everyone has gone home. Dunedin is very much a student city.
Available months and cities
Placements will take place in Dunedin, with potential for one week completed in Queenstown or Christchurch.
