Diploma for Graduates in Maori Studies in Dunedin New Zealand | University of Otago

Maori Studies serves as an introductory pathway for students looking to explore the Maori worldview. This comprehensive program focuses on te reo Maori (the Maori language), tikanga Maori (Maori customs and traditions), and elements of te ao Maori (the Maori perspective). Maori culture continues to evolve. By examining these three interconnected areas, you'll gain access to this vibrant world and develop the fundamental skills to assess how this knowledge can be utilized in our rapidly changing modern society.
Through Maori Studies, you'll deepen your comprehension of the Maori language, traditional practices, and cultural perspectives. These insights can complement various academic disciplines or professional fields including commerce, teaching, healthcare, legal studies, administration, media, public policy, and community services. New Zealand's government departments, corporations, social organizations, and educational institutions increasingly value staff with this expertise. Graduates who understand matters impacting Maori and other New Zealand communities enjoy outstanding career opportunities.
