Master of Indigenous Studies specialisation in Indigenous Studies

Indigenous Studies builds understanding and knowledge of core Indigenous concepts, including Indigenous worldviews, cultural and historical understandings, ethical, methodological, political and public policy demands and imperatives and environmental and sustainable developments.

Our Master of Indigenous Studies programme takes an interdisciplinary approach to the complex intercultural dynamics of colonial and post-colonial societies, and is grounded in the experience of Māori in New Zealand.

Indigenous Studies can develop your skills for a career in local or national government, community leadership, policy and law, research, iwi, tribal and political advisement, cultural representation, teaching, resource management and more.

Where a student has previously passed courses equivalent to any of the required courses, a 700 level course approved by the Programme Director for this degree must be substituted.
