The MA provides diverse opportunities to suit your needs. 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. With a research master's, you'll have the thrilling chance to advance your discipline's knowledge through a significant research endeavor guided by New Zealand's top academics. Alternatively, taught master's programs offer intensive learning in intimate classroom settings, fostering direct engagement with faculty while undertaking a more modest research component. Pursuing an MA effectively enhances both specialized expertise and versatile skills to an advanced degree. Alumni have successfully applied their refined abilities in strategic analysis, critical reasoning, effective communication, and cross-cultural understanding to professions spanning public service, global development initiatives, cultural institutions, and research-oriented roles.
