Pursue advanced academic work and add your unique research to the body of knowledge in your discipline. The MA program provides flexible options, including both research-focused and coursework-based degrees, with durations of one year or 18 months based on your qualifications, across over 40 study areas. Your prior education may allow you to explore a field different from your previous specialization. The research master's lets you make meaningful contributions to your discipline through a significant research project guided by New Zealand's top academics.

Earning an MA helps refine both specialized knowledge and versatile skills to an expert level. Alumni have applied their enhanced strategic thinking, analytical abilities, communication skills, and cultural competence to roles in government, global development, cultural institutions, and research organizations.
