Bachelor of Arts

Māori Developement

The Māori Development major in the Bachelor of Arts offers a sequence of study across three years that interweaves cultural, professional and vocational strands into aspects of Māori Development. You may choose to emphasise economic development, management and leadership, or topics in contemporary Māori culture and media. You can also support your chosen vocational emphasis with te reo Māori. As in other BA majors, generic core papers will emphasise the development of key capabilities in various forms of communication, research, teamwork and problem solving, along with relevant information technology skills.

WHAT THIS PROGRAMME COVERS
Throughout the three years of the BA, students take core papers that provide the necessary skills in writing, research and IT capability to prepare them for academic work and their working life.
