Certificates and degrees
Our goal is to deliver high-quality degree and pre-degree programmes.
Our undergraduate programmes are unique in the way they use kaupapa Māori teaching methods. Unlike most other tertiary institutions, programmes are delivered in a combination of ways, including regular classes, online learning, residential wānanga and field-based work. This form of delivery provides flexibility for students within a kaupapa Māori framework, and allows more students from a wide range of backgrounds and situations to complete tertiary study.
