MA - Development Studies - Research 180 points in Auckland New Zealand | University of Auckland

The MA program provides diverse options to suit your needs. You can select between research-based or coursework-focused degrees, with durations of either one year or 18 months based on your prior qualifications, across over 40 academic disciplines. Your previous studies might allow you to explore a field different from your original specialization. A research master's lets you make meaningful contributions to your chosen discipline through an extensive research project guided by New Zealand's top academics. Alternatively, a taught master's offers intensive learning in small-group settings with direct faculty engagement, culminating in a more concise research component.
