Bachelor of Social Sciences (BSocSc) in Maori and Indigenous Studies

Program Available at Hamilton Campus

Learning about M?ori culture, language and knowledge are not just for M?ori; it is crucial for all New Zealanders and international visitors to comprehend how Aotearoa/New Zealand’s unique Indigenous culture defines New Zealand’s identity - it is a cultural, social, economic and political force.

Also, learn how M?ori Studies is located in the broader and global context of Indigenous Studies; a discipline that has flourished in the last decade as Indigenous scholars have confronted some of the major issues facing the world, such as efforts to stop the Dakota Access Pipeline.

Increasingly employers are looking for graduates who are trained in disciplines like law, science, engineering, or business, but who also have a knowledge of M?ori and Indigenous Studies. If you're doing a double major or thinking about it, consider one of your majors (or minors) in the Faculty of M?ori and Indigenous Studies.  An eclectic selection of new and traditional elements including kapa haka, ng? taonga p?oro and creative technologies delivered by quality academics who are fluent in M?ori, and some in Pacific and European languages can diversify your knowledge and add value to the theoretical aspect of your qualification.
