Dunedin
Ki uta ki tai (from the mountains to the sea)
Dunedin - one of the world’s great small cities. A melting pot of
culture, heritage, wildlife and outdoor activities, Dunedin is a great
place to explore when you are taking a break from study.
Lovers of indoor and outdoor activities are spoilt for choice. Natural scenic beauty provides

indoor activities the city has world class museums and galleries, plenty of live local music
as well as boutique shopping options.
If you are excited about attending events and festivals there are plenty to choose from all
year round, from the Thieves Alley Market Day to the spectacular Mid-Winter Carnival,

thing then Dunedin excels in this space!

9SIGNAL ICT
GRAD SCHOOL
Established in 2017 to provide industry-focused
postgraduate study options, SIGNAL ICT Graduate
School has successfully transitioned dozens of
graduates from any discipline, into new careers within
New Zealand’s fast-growing technology sector.
As NZ’s third largest industry crossing into almost
every sector imaginable, from health and food
production, to education and entertainment, tech is
the future – and SIGNAL can help you be part of it.
‘SHIFT’ is an innovative one-year programme that combines the
academic depth and quality of our five partner institutions. Real-world
tech industry experience is gained through collaborative group projects
and by completing individual internships within local organisations.
This industry partnership ensures that graduates are well connected
with local employers, and also have the skills, experience and
adaptability that is in demand in NZ right now.
For international students, ‘SHIFT’ offers an innovative and immersive
studio-based programme taught out of the SIGNAL site in Dunedin’s
progressive Warehouse Precinct amongst some of NZ’s most innovative
and successful tech companies. The opportunity to meet and work with
these companies greatly enhances graduate employment opportunities.
Graduates have come from fields as diverse as medicine, engineering,
international business, arts and humanities, sciences and more, and
entered new roles where this previous knowledge and experience is
highly valued.
Lois Li (pictured) gained an English Literature degree in China before
moving to NZ. She completed ‘SHIFT’ in 2019, and is now a capable
full-stack software developer.
“I chose to study at SIGNAL because of
the opportunity to work on real-world
projects, and I like the philosophy of
‘learning-by-doing’ and the ‘seeing-big-
picture-first’ approach.”

COLLEGE
Kavanagh College has been a chosen destination for international students since the
mid-1980s. Students choosing to study at Kavanagh are frequently independent and
have made a decision to explore a less well-known destination for a unique experience.
Many come because of the reputation Kavanagh has for a high quality English-based education set in a
wonderful natural environment where we focus on students as individuals and help them to realise their
own potential.
Kavanagh College is a modern inner-city Catholic co-educational high school. Kavanagh students achieve
excellent academic results. We offer both academic and practical subjects and our students can mix Science
with the Arts or Building with Computing. We make innovative use of technology and the college has a
BYOD (bring your own device) policy. While studying at Kavanagh, students also have the opportunity to
participate in ski trips, hiking, camping, the annual prom and drama production, to name a few of the
extra-curricular activities available.
Kavanagh graduates are enrolled at Otago University, Auckland University, Massey University, University of
Mainz – Germany, Culinary Arts Academy – Switzerland, San Jose College – California and Westin
University of Toronto – Canada.
