The MA provides diverse study options. You can select between research-based or 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 lets you make meaningful contributions to your discipline through an extensive 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 advances both your specialized knowledge and versatile skills. Alumni have successfully applied their refined abilities in analytical reasoning, effective communication, and cross-cultural understanding to professions in public service, global initiatives, cultural institutions, and academic research.
