The MA program provides diverse options to suit your needs. You can choose 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. The research master's program lets you make meaningful contributions to your chosen discipline through an extensive research project guided by New Zealand's top academics. For coursework degrees, you'll enhance your expertise through intimate class settings, direct faculty engagement, and a modest research component. Earning an MA significantly advances both your subject knowledge and versatile skills. Alumni have successfully applied their enhanced strategic analysis, communication abilities, and cultural competence in various sectors including public service, global development initiatives, cultural institutions, and research organizations.
