The Master of Arts program offers in-depth exploration of an Arts discipline, designed for individuals seeking to expand their expertise in that field. This graduate degree incorporates a significant independent research component. Students can pursue this qualification through either the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences or the Faculty of Māori and Indigenous Studies. Earning an MA from Waikato equips you with valuable skills in autonomous work and project completion - qualities that employers actively seek. An MA enrollment allows you to conduct supervised independent research across diverse Arts disciplines. Completing this degree opens doors to advanced research programs or various career paths. With Māori recognized as an official language of New Zealand, there's growing appreciation for tangata whenua matters throughout society. Bilingual proficiency in Māori and English has become increasingly valuable across multiple professional sectors, including Iwi development, Education, Healthcare, Research, Media, Government, and Tourism industries.
