The MA provides diverse opportunities for study. 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 education might allow you to explore a field distinct from your earlier focus. The research master's program presents a stimulating chance to advance your field's knowledge 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.
