The MA provides diverse options to suit your needs. You can select between research-based or taught programs, 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 distinct from your earlier focus. A research master's lets you make meaningful contributions to your discipline through an extensive research project guided by New Zealand's top academics. Alternatively, a taught master's offers intensive learning in intimate classroom settings with direct faculty engagement, alongside a modest research component. Earning an MA enhances your expertise and develops versatile skills to an advanced degree. Alumni have applied their refined abilities in analysis, problem-solving, communication, and cross-cultural understanding to professions in public service, global initiatives, cultural institutions, and research organizations.
