Overview
Māori Studies courses and programmes examine the Māori people - their language, culture past and present, and their place in relation to the other cultures of New Zealand, Polynesia and the world. Our courses are part of the range of offerings for the Diploma in Maoritanga, the Bachelor of Arts (BA), BA(Hons), Master of Arts and the PhD degrees.
Māori culture is a living and dynamic reality in New Zealand/Aotearoa today and provides the nation with many of its unique qualities. Historically, interaction between Māori and non-Māori has shaped the economic, social and political development of this country.
A positive future for our country will increasingly rely on both Pākehā and Māori having a greater understanding of Māori culture and society and especially how our colonial history impacts on the present day realities for Māori people.
Māori Studies programmes focus on developing awareness, appreciation and understanding about the issues and complexities associated with these things.
