tāhuhu whakahaere
master of māori and management
Prepare yourself for executive and senior management roles in any organisation as you learn how to integrate tikanga into everyday organisational functions combining the tools of both worlds to give your organisation the edge to successfully move forward in this ever-changing business environment.
If you are wanting to climb up the corporate ladder, integrate tikanga Māori or move your profit or non-profit organisation into a value- based, kaupapa driven organisation, this master’s programme will certainly help you attain that. As a graduate of this programme you will be well sought after both in business or for iwi and hapū affairs.
Graduates of the first year to this master degree complete the Poutāhū Whakahaere, a postgraduate diploma, awarded at Level 7.
TE REO AND IWI AND HAPŪ STUDIES
Each year, you will complete two papers towards your Te Reo component attending noho on campus (or online as per the course schedule). This will prepare you for written and oral assessments and add to your kete in the Māori business management space! You will be guided every step of the way with tutor support.
You will also complete two papers in Iwi and Hapū studies each year to compliment your learning, these are often the most rewarding part of study for the majority of our students as they gain a deep connection back to their roots. Your Iwi and Hapū papers will require research, writing and critical analysis of two prescribed kaupapa with tutor support to help you through. The assignments that you complete will become a taonga and resource for your whānau, marae, iwi and will be treasured for years to come as well as enhancing your whakahaere journey.
Online components begin in the first week of the academic year, so you can begin your studies before your first specialisation noho. You will also get the opportunity to meet your reo and iwi and hapū pūkenga during your first noho on campus.
