The New Zealand Association of Pharmacy Students Otago (NZAPS-O) is a voluntary student executive committee who represent the School of Pharmacy and its students. We cater for the academic, cultural and social needs of the University of Otago Pharmacy students.
NZAPS-O executives work closely together to plan and organise numerous social, educational and sporting occasions throughout the year for the students (which you don’t want to miss out). These include events such as Coffee and Cake days, Wine & Cheese Evening, Pharmacy Ball, Pharmacy Revue, and much, much more!
