The MA provides diverse opportunities for study. You can choose between research-based and taught programs, with durations of one year or 18 months based on your qualifications, across over 40 academic disciplines. Your prior education might allow you to explore a field distinct from your previous focus. The research master's program presents a stimulating chance to advance knowledge in your area through a significant research endeavor 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 modest research component. Earning an MA effectively elevates both your specialized knowledge and versatile skills. Alumni have successfully applied their enhanced strategic analysis, critical reasoning, communication abilities, and cross-cultural competencies to professions in public service, global development initiatives, cultural institutions, and research-oriented roles.
