Introduction to Specialisations

A specialisation is a focused collection of courses within a programme that allows you to gain deep, targeted knowledge in a specific sub-field. Normally these courses make up more than 50 percent of a qualification, some of which lead to registration within a certain field. They may be interdisciplinary, professionally oriented, or designed to meet accreditation requirements. Specialisations often restrict elective choice in favour of a clearly defined study plan.

Completed specialisations will appear on your academic transcript.

Subject Overview

This subject is offered in the Postgraduate Diploma in Business in Māori Development, as part of the Te Tohu Huanga Māori Business Development Programme. It is the University of Auckland Business School’s first dedicated Māori-focused study programme, and the first of its kind to be offered in Aotearoa.
The programme provides leaders engaged in Māori business development with a range of traditional, current and future-orientated practical business and management skills.
Māori economic development is about students thinking in Māori terms, from within a Māori worldview, its ethics and values framework, rather than replicating the worldview and values of the dominant society. Students bring their own practical experience and business issues to work on in the course.
