Content
Become an effective communicator across a range of settings and contexts by immersing yourself in written and spoken Te Reo.
Our degree has been specially designed with the needs and career goals of modern speakers of Te Reo Maori in mind.
Our goal is to provide you with strong skills in written and spoken Te Reo Māori as well as an understanding of how you can make Te Reo Māori an important part of your career in Aotearoa and across the globe.
To give you a strong start, your study begins with an initial focus on Māori language, linguistics and cultural studies.
Once your introduction to Te Reo is complete you can begin to decide the direction of your own studies through an elective pathway chosen from a wide range of subjects at Ara.
This pathway will run alongside your advanced courses in Te Reo and Tikanga Māori until you bring them together in a capstone research project at the end of your third year.
Examples of the types of career path which you can focus on include: business, applied management, health and wellness, applied science, language revival, sustainability and the environment, iwi development, outdoor education, language teaching and translation.
