The University of Otago is likely to gain about $5.4 milllion and around 280 domestic Equivalent Full Time Student places, after the Government announced increased funding for university places, the Otago Daily Times reports.
The fresh funding is intended to cover a ‘blip’ in the number of high school leavers, and to provide extra places to reflect the increased demand for tertiary education in the current economic climate. However, no additional places were allocated to polytechnics.
