The Postgraduate Diploma in Arts (PGDipArts) serves as an alternative pathway to the Bachelor of Arts (Honours). This program offers extensive options across various Arts disciplines, with the potential to incorporate a research component. It's particularly suitable if you seek advanced academic engagement without a thesis requirement, if your home country doesn't recognize honors degrees, or if you prefer flexible part-time study options. As a postgraduate scholar, you can explore diverse fields including Maori language studies, cultural heritage, social structures, political systems, media studies, and indigenous development initiatives. Our Maori Studies faculty maintains an outstanding research profile, which directly informs our teaching methodologies. You'll have opportunities to both learn from and contribute to this academic tradition. The department fosters meaningful contributions to Maori advancement through knowledge generation, with both students and staff playing active roles in supporting Maori communities through scholarly work and practical engagement.
