The MA program provides diverse options to suit your needs. You can choose between research-based or coursework-focused degrees, with durations of one year or 18 months based on your prior qualifications, across over 40 academic disciplines. Your previous studies may allow you to explore a field different from your original specialization. The research master's program lets you make meaningful contributions to your chosen field through an extensive research project guided by New Zealand's top academics. For coursework degrees, you'll engage in intimate classroom settings with direct faculty access while undertaking a more modest research component. This advanced degree enhances both specialized knowledge and versatile skills, with alumni applying their expertise in analysis, communication, and cultural competence across sectors including public service, global development, cultural institutions, and policy research.
Contemporary social challenges often involve balancing competing priorities. Economics fundamentally examines these complex trade-offs.
