The MA provides diverse options to suit your needs. Choose between research-based or taught programs, with durations of one year or 18 months based on your qualifications, and select from over 40 academic disciplines. Your prior education might allow you to explore a field different from your previous focus. 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 taught master's students, you'll enhance your expertise in intimate classroom settings, benefit from direct faculty engagement, and undertake a more concise research component.
