Certificate in Arts - Te Reo Maori
As Aotearoa New Zealand seeks to become even more of a globally respected nation with solid social and political foundations, the need to revitalise and embrace te reo M?ori as a living, everyday language is becoming even more important for people of all walks of life.
This discipline enables people to explore their identity as New Zealanders and to pass on their passion for this language of Aotearoa to others. Te Reo M?ori is a highly recommended language option for those who might work with M?ori people; indigenous industries; or in education, public, or communications roles that require bicultural and multicultural competency.
Students majoring in other subject areas such as History, Sociology, Political Science and International Relations, English, Education, Cultural Studies, Law, and Social Work often take M?ori language courses to support their main field of study.
Careers are opening up as a result of the increasing role of M?ori culture and society as a defining element of national culture. Aotearoa New Zealand will see this continue in the future, as a result of changing demographics, government policy, and social attitudes.
Whether you need it for a career in health, education, policy, government, law, tourism, or social services, the confidence and skills from a language degree can help you step up to the next level in your career.
Employment options for graduates are rapidly increasing in iwi and other M?ori organisations. Graduates find work in research, teaching, archival, heritage and arts/cultural organisations, government organisations, and the wider community.
