• Admission to the MBiomedSc programme requires you to have successfully completed an honours degree (such as the BBiomedSc(Hons)), or a postgraduate diploma in a biomedical subject which contained a research component of at least one‑qaurter of the programme. You will normally be expected to have achieved an average grade of at least B+, with a B+ or better in the research component.

The cost of studying at University of Otago varies largely depending on the type of university and the degree chosen. More often than not, humanities, arts, and education courses are less expensive than degrees in medical, engineering, or management. Furthermore, students who choose to study at the postgraduate level typically pay higher tuition fees, which again vary depending on the programme chosen. 

Most universities provide scholarships or financial aid to students in order to help them offset their tuition costs. Students should be aware that additional course fees and incidental expenses may not be included in tuition. On average, international students can expect to pay NZ$43,486 annually, to study in University of Otago.
